Great video! Quick note: when removing the gust lock, you click it once to place it in your "hand" and then you have to click once more at a spot at the cockpit wall to put it away. They describe it in the manual: "If you do not stow the gust lock it will remain "in hand". This allows you to insert it by accident and jam your controls. This was done on purpose [...]"
Really appreciate your videos. Even when you disagreed with my previous comment, you took time to give examples for your opinion. I always learn a lot from your videos, so thanks.
I was struggling with this plane. Still i find it hard to fly at low speeds but your video goes beyond the scope of only handling the machine itself. Giving a concise process and method to follow, that you can apply to other planes. Thank you for sharing all your precious knowledge 🙏
Even though there is A lot of fun and good Reviews & Tutorials and other stuff here on YT, It makes an incredible difference when they are made by a humble, knowledgeable & critically thinking Real Pilots or Other Aviation expertise. I find this especially true when the ones watching are themselves from the industry. Thanks for your great videos Emanuel!
I see you left the separator open, that’ll prevent ur engine from cooling enough for that cruise power, 1000 feet separator closed set climb power, everything else is great! I did give you ALOT of info in that call haha.
Thank you for a great presentation.... I've recently purchased this aircraft, all this information is a massive help.... It's also a help we other aircraft... Thank you very much... Roger.. Pembrokeshire
Dear Emanuel: I was trying to land the sws pc-12 at VGEG, RW 23 ILS approach. AP engaged. At 1,000 ft and below the plane deviates from the centerline, still ap engaged. No wind. After ap disengage, it is very difficult to maintain centerline. The plane goes left and right. After landing, the plane yaws left and right...very difficult to keep centerline! This is v 1.1.0. How can I do it better? I read the manual, landing tips. Still no help. Please suggest.
Would you think it's possible to do a video talking about how to transition from VFR to IFR in flight with ATC? It could be very relevant to those flying GAs
Again an amazing video ! thank you very much ! I've purchased the aircraft a few days ago and I love it ! It is absolutely beautiful to fly. I believe we could turn of the recognition light above 10'000. I thought I read we should also close the inert sep latest above 10'000 but even sooner deepending on the conditions ; but I don't know if it is different in icing conditions !? Thanks again for the great video !
your forgot to set TOGA brosef /Heads up by the way, the "Auto throttle TO GA" keybind will set it so I do recommend setting the keybind instead of painfully trying to press the button on the throttle.
5:28 I want to address the comment about GA checklists written to be “read and do” while airliners are flow and check. My opinion only: That may be true, but if you’re currently a sim pilot who hasn’t begun flight training yet, I’d suggest getting in the habit of flow and check. I’m a GA pilot, I’ve never flown commercially but that’s how I was taught by a former airline pilot and I think it makes more sense and is much safer. I’ve only had 2 instructors and both did it this way. If you’re flying IFR, you don’t want your head down reading a checklist while you’re busy with other things. And if you’re VFR you should be looking out the windows and ensuring proper separation with other aircraft. I prefer get everything done early and then flashing the checklist up high quickly to verify you didn’t forget anything. On the ground, I guess it doesn’t matter, but I find it more simple to learn just one methodology. Just my opinion, as a low time GA putz
At minute 16:58, during your second CB check, I noticed one of them popped out, one with reddish color…. What was that one? Tks for the tremendous video
That's for the stick PUSHER system. It isn't actually popped (notice the lack of white on the breaker's shaft- you'd see it if it popped). It's of a different design than the other CBs and sticks out a bit more.
Just a simmer here but I have heard operators say flaps 30 is the standard approach for normal conditions and runway lengths, while flaps 40 is more for really short runways.
How is that incorrect? Isn't operator specific? Several PC-12 cockpit landing videos out there with flaps 30. They can't all be wrong.@@hostettervideos
@@softreset82the pilot will choose what they’re comfortable with. 40 flaps will give the best landing performance, however I see many PC12 drivers using 15 or 30. They hardly have a good reason, although I speculate the slow approach speed and “mushy” controls scare them.
Good thing you mentioned the rotation speed at 80kts^^ First flights I rotated at 85-90 kts and the plane started to yaw to the right extremely 😂 Probably because of the trim setting. The approach and landing characteristics do confuse me though, tried multiple landings today and the fact that the nose is always going to one side when landing puts me off, I don't want to land sideways 😅 Do you use the rudder much on approach ? I'm always kicking the ball but maybe that's the wrong thing to do I don't know 😬
The aircraft is broken currently, and no one wants to call them out on it because for some reason people love SimWorks Stuidos. Would be an awesome aircraft but yea the flight dynamics are screwed.
Great Video! I have the Problem that i cant bring the Aircraft in the air during take off. When i try to rotate at 80 kts the plane remains on the runway even i pull the joke completely to me. Then after some seconds Its come up in the air but very very slowly. Any idea why?
How can you say this aircraft is controllable? I’m a real world pilot with 1800 hours, been in aviation for 23 years and although I’ve never flown the PC12 in real life, I cannot imagine that the real aircraft flies like this one. At low airspeeds the aircraft yaws horrendously. I’ve never known any aircraft to handle like that. Even in this video on your landing you were yawing to the right like you had a stiff right crosswind, but the wind sock indicated about 5kts from your left yet you said nothing about it? There comes a time when you have to be honest and not let your love for a certain developer cloud your judgement. You know this aircraft is broken.
Flew the PC-12 for two years. The handling characteristics at low speeds don’t differ too much other than slow sluggish controls. Definitely no large yaw moments 😊
As a non pilot. I'm so glad to see this, I thought I was doing something seriously wrong when trying to stick land this aircraft. I wanted to love this aircraft and I'm sorely disappointed with it. It handles like a brick with wings.
As others have mentioned. I too wanted to love this aircraft. Simworks can say what they want, but this plane handles terribly in the sim. They want to say that you arent a good pilot if you have issues, which may be why some youtube channel creators are blatantly ignoring the issues, which are present even in this landing.
@@Catamount287 found it! There was a recent update that moved the clickspot. It’s now the silver lever at the bottom rear of the seats (towards the back of the seat). Hope that helps 🎉
I have been looking forward to this plane for a very long time and was a little disappointed with the amount of none functional equipment, the same way I was disappointed with the lack of functionality with the EFIS on the Black Square TBM-850 (hopefully they introduce that functionality). Even the Carenado PC-12 shows the flight plan, map symbols and TCAS on it's EFIS. On the SWS version you're given just a very basic stripped down version of what in real life is quite a complex avionics package. Hopefully SWS improves upon this release as they've already implemented the buttons and breakers for them. Btw, thank you for another fantastic video! :)
the reason for that is because everything we make is from scratch. all graphics and everything. everything will be functional, part of it was a late discovery of the very lacking system depth of MSFS default AP. so we decided to make our own. a majority of the systems work compared to carenados. so what you speak is very small compared to what the plane actually delivers
@@hostettervideos I really do enjoy the aircraft, it's flight model is spectacular, especially in terms of climb rate and how it reacts in a crosswind. I'm looking forward to any improvements you guys make especially since you've coded everything from scratch. I got so sick and tired of seeing great planes get released and the developers would fall back on the incredibly under-developed default G3X.
i tried the plane yesterday, and couple of things i noticed was a slow cruise. then i took it for a trip to sedona and it was a drag. the trim is a little bit difficult to control
hi A330Driver, will you be doing a flight with the updated PC-12 flight model any time soon? it seems that there is still some debate on whether it's an actual improvement and it'd love to hear your expert opinion on this.
How is it actually in the PC12 do you have to have the exhaust pipes in the wind to avoid a hot start like in the Piper M models or can you prevent that here with the SEP?
I wish I had more time for streams as well. But I just don't. Came back from a 6 day Africa trip two days ago, tomorrow flying to the Carribean for four days, then another two off followed by a full week in the Carribean. I'm glad I can find the time to create all those pre-recorded videos at the moment.
@@A330Driver yea absolutely, I think it is better that you do your thing irl than to stream and make TH-cam videos! Im not trying to be critical it is really nice seeing you doing your thing especially now with the 330 stuff!
Can you clarify FL based on distance. You said to divide by 10, then used the example that a 200 mile flight would be FL200. But that would be divided by 1, not 10.
Love your content always so helpful. I just had to say something about the checklist comments. Do people really fly this plane as GA personal use? Every PC12 I work is for medevac or charter companies and those pilots are definitely airline pilots who get those 800 hours a year lol
Yep, quite many do. Especially in the states. Here in Europe it’s a different thing mostly, but I actually know a guy who owns and flies one himself. He makes about 50-100 hours a year.
Lots of people said, that the Carenado PC 12 is just bad and the SWS Version will be way better. Is this true now? And how would you position the BlackSquare TBM850 here?
the carenado doesnt even have a flight model, the engine is a default turbo prop simulation from asobo so its very incorrect. so the basics of a flying aircraft are lacking.
Its really amazing how long the issue list is with this aircraft after SWS hyping in up for a YEAR. Took many months longer than they had anticipated, and kept announcing, and last minute they cut failures, then kept telling us the plane would not be released until it was perfect. So why do systems in the plane not all work, why are there flight model issues? They keep blaming everyone else for every “problem”, yet not every aircraft in the sim exhibit some of these issues.
I don't agree with your statement at all, naturally any first release will have bugs, but likewise I don't feel it's many of them. Lots of stuff is pilot induced with this plane due to mishandling. When I go over their discord and the problems customers describe the majority can be put down to mishandling. For instance many don't seem to have an eye on their rudder trim on landing, which in turn makes them break out on landing. Or likewise many climb much to quick and then end up exceeding maximum differential pressure because they don't keep an eye on their cabin rate of climb. Those things are not bugs though, they happen because the PC-12 needs quite some special attention from the pilot and people don't read manuals. Sure enough the manual could be imrpoved a bit, that was a suggestion of mine as well. And sure enough there are bugs that need sorting, like the oscillations with V/S mode. But I can't share your feelings that "it's really amazing how long the issue list is". It's no worse than other similar releases.
@@A330Driver … can appreciate your opinion and input. Hopefully we will see ongoing improvements either way. Im about 1/3 way through the manual, so will see what the remaining has to share. As of right now I prefer the TBM 850 from black square. Have both, but the TBM seemed much more refined upon release
comparatively this plane is a complete success with how realistic it is. and honestly when it comes to bugs theres only maybe a handful. which is pretty good id say given it was released a day after SU14. which broke some stuff naturally. and sometimes things are out of our control, asobo isnt the most dev friendly company. something they greatly need to work on. for people to say this was a failure or a bad aircraft is because they need to spend more time and actually learn how to fly the aircraft. since they wanna simulate our lives they need to put in the work. @@A330Driver
Where do we make aircraft and equipment selections? Like your radios? I selected PMS when I loaded the plane, but there are other options beneath the gps
@@JockoFlocko … pretty bare aircraft considering what they were promoting to release back in June and July. Took months and months longer to finally release a plane that has bug issues, flight model issues (just watch videos here on YT of the plane pulling hard right, even on realworld pilots), systems that dont operate, obviously cut out all failures in the last minutes of the game. Yes, fidelity of the model is really good, and the sound set oa also good, beyond that the Black Square TBM 850 is miles ahead of this one. And those that had flight model concerns with the Kodiak, of which I agree with, will definitely have issues with this one.
@@hostettervideos thanks I was just rewatching the video, and was at the part where he shows you in the video how to do it, lol i must of blew past mine mind first time watching it was gonna delete me comment and saw your reply
As soon as my descent rate goes above 1k the plane starts screaming at me. Is there a setting that Im missing on this? Im sure the plane can descend faster than minus 1k fpm, so why is the audible warning going off? Im sure its user error, but have yet to figure out why
The sink rate annunciator goes on below 2500ft and when in > -1000 ft v/s. I don't know if it's the real behavior and if they will tweak it. You can disable it when it goes on by clicking on a button on the center panel (close to the EGPWS button)
I must have watched this video like 4 or 5 times now…. And I still can’t land this plane properly… shame on me. It’s not the instructor’s fault… but only mine, for sure
I've been watching your video and I can't think of a better teacher.

just wondering where you get the PC-12 cruise power chart
Check the manual, it’s in there
@@A330Driver Cheers! 😁
As soon as my descent rate goes above 1k the plane starts screaming at me. Is there a setting that Im missing on this? Im sure the plane can descend faster than minus 1k fpm, so why is the audible warning going off? Im sure its user error, but have yet to figure out why
The sink rate annunciator goes on below 2500ft and when in > -1000 ft v/s. I don't know if it's the real behavior and if they will tweak it.
You can disable it when it goes on by clicking on a button on the center panel (close to the EGPWS button)
Great job/RJW Retired corp. pilot. Thank you

I must have watched this video like 4 or 5 times now…. And I still can’t land this plane properly… shame on me.
It’s not the instructor’s fault… but only mine, for sure
On xbox?! When?!
What a shame the flight model lacks any yaw stability. Uninstalled.
LOL This is the old aircraft! Is this what they took so long to show???? Another disappointment... i had much better than this on FSX
Plz. Epic E1000 GX 🙏🏿
