Hey Guys...From 24th of June 2019, i am working for Pilatus Aircraft in Switzerland...I only can say: I AM SOOO PROUD...A dream come true for me...Cheers from Switzerland
As a Fokker fan myself, too bad that Fokker went under... totally unnecessary. If only the Dutch government at that time had more balls...What a waist!! This plane could have been build by Fokker, great looking and innovative design. Just shows that a small country can build great planes. Keep up the good work Pilatus!
Thank you so much for this nicely paced video especially the Honeywell Primus glass cockpit. I love your PC-24! I also thank you for your extra effort to use fine cameras and keep your works music free. You speak so clearly because my sight and hearing is poor at 74+ year OLD. You have my most unworthy thanks for your hard work.
What a marvelous airplane! When Pilatus builds an airplane they do it RIGHT! I am sure once you fly in the PC-24 you never want to look back! A service ceiling of FL450 so you are above all the commercial traffic and can just breeze along to your destination. I checked and it is rated for Single Pilot Operation which I suspected from all the avionics packages. The plane must be a pilot's dream to fly! ONE BEAUTIFUL PLANE!
Wow, it’s hilarious that the other day I was working on that aircraft and was talking to you. Now I watch this video and never thought you had a TH-cam channel. Greetings from KACY
@PlaneJunkies Good day, Tommy! Thanks so much for sharing this video. I really enjoyed your unedited, pilot POV external & internal pre-flight checks from start to finish. It's like being there just beside you! You have probably helped Pilatus sell a few more PC-24s with your videos and not even know it. 😊 Please keep up all your good work. 👍🏻👍🏻 Your long-time subscriber.
Today, I watched most of your flights, but this one is very interesting. You showed us step by step, I know know this flight deck more than my car lol. Thank you man, you get the funnest job! Flying plane ✈️ PC24 is so beautiful.
Much respect for the pause at 23:00 for us to listen to that cessna get its clearance. A lot of people on TH-cam are looking for some ATC comms too, so I appreciate even if it wasn't you doing it. Btw looks like it was a student
I'm 40 years old and this is a life time dream of mine. With a family, career, bills... I don't know how I could possibly get this going. I've been a lifetime flight-simmer and aviation buff, also a USAF avionics vet. This is the one thing in my life that I have ever dreamed of doing, but the chips just haven't fallen my way yet. Somehow it has got to be now or never! I can't live my entire life and not give this a go.
Mike Alpha Mike - I've dreamt of being a commercial pilot since I was 3. At the age of 53 I got rid of my toys and the place I was staying,moved into a semi and drove 150,000 miles. Took about 1.5 years. I saved all I could and took a loan out for the rest. Figured it was my last chance. I know this isn't an option for everyone but that is how I did it. Currently I fly the SA227(cargo) in the U.S.,Canada and Mexico. One more thing... IT WASN'T EASY!!!
MUCH BETTER sound quality than I heard on a few other videos I watched. Great to hear the radio conversations instead of the "modern-style" music that is so common today. It would be wonderful IMO to be able to turn off the music on any videos if I wanted to do that. Great quality video of a fantastic plane. Thanks. Keep them coming.
Great channel. Please can you do a video about the breaking and steering systems and their use from taxing to landing. Again, very interesting video and thanks for taking the time to make them.
Thank you Sir for this great video. I wanna buy the Iris Simulations PC-24 for FSX/P3D but I bet the avionics won't be modeled like the real one... This jet is such a babe, much love and respect from France.
I'm in NYC 2020 Virus lockdown ... this is sooooo much fun watching your videos. When I grow up I want a P24 and a Tesla x (I'm72 and I still have goals!) Great work THANKS
That was your best PC24 video yet, very good! I like your way to really get the youtubers to follow the preflight and run up, nice, detailed and calmly explained. Understand QPM (which is there to replace an APU to get current for Air cond. and aircraft power where there is no GroundPowerUnit, GPU) has some restrictions. Does it top up the batteries? What ground operations can't be done under QPM. Tanking according to Scott Marshal in your delivery video. Is this forever or is it a software fix down the line. A really impressive aircraft as the first jet from the Swiss, almost embarrassingly good for the crop which has done jets for decades. Thanks!
WOW - mind boggling the amount of 'stuff' to know. You know things back the front - perfectly- eye opening video. You are very impressive. I'd fly with you! That background humm makes my eardrums vibrate every time, lol. Hey, I thought that iPad app could communicate with your controller and auto populate the input. I'm sure I read that in a review somewhere. Perhaps a different app?? Anyways, Thank you. Michael 🇦🇺
I was going to ask you to do a video on the QPM mode. You beat me to it. I was really interested in how much of a difference it made, especially from the exterior. Not too much, it seems. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video again, thanks for sharing such an beautiful plane with us. A question if I may, I read somewhere that Honeywell are planning a direct datalink from the tablet app to fms in one of their software updates so you can build your flight away from the aircraft and then just send the plan between the two devices, has that been implemented yet?
Great Video, learned a Lot! Thank you very much! But, one question: when do you use the QPM mode? For pax entering the plane while the engine is running? For taxiing in the night? Thx
what a great video and guided tour of the plane, systems and start-up. Really paying attention as this plane could be a great candidate for our next aircraft when time is up.. ( the other one is the 300E) ;-) Looking forward to some videos of flight... Speeds, FF, noise, etc..
Yeah very interested in the PC-24 vs 300E. :) PC-24 looks like it has better avionics and equipment, probably even possible to make it oceanic with dual FMS. Better landing performance, safer dual wheels. But it sould have much less real world range (against the wind) because of lesser speeds.
I am curious, is the engine too loud to use as a Apu? I am getting at using it in qpm to run systems and AC while on the ramp for instance while waiting on my passenger (don't tell her I said anything) lol. Bigger Jets run the Apu and I just wonder if you could park, shut down LT engine, put RT in QPM and get out to do fuel, wait on passengers ect.. Your in Vegas and I'm in Phoenix so you know what I'm talking about needing AC to precool. Just curious for a short stop on if I have to get a cart or can use the airplane it's self to stay cool. That is a great plane. Thank you and be safe.
Some friends and I want to solve a problem. We have many oil execs coming from West Texas to Corpus Christi and they have to fly in commuter either out of San Antonio, Houston, Harlingen or sometimes Dallas in squeezed seats. We put together a business plan to buy one or two of these to give them direct flights from a small local airport of even a grass strip near their oil fields and give them first class service.
Btw, the cockpit layout is similar to the Embraer Phenom family (100, 300), even the yoke looks similar, therefore, I would guess that making the transition would not be that hard (like from the Hawker 800 to the Beechcraft Premier IA). The only item missing in both aircraft (Pilatus/Embraer) is the HUD and maybe some cameras here and there...
Really enjoyed your "QPM" video! Thanks for showing the detailed cockpit checklist and layout description. Keep those exterior walk-arounds and interior walk-thru going so I can drool all over my keyboard - it helps keep it clean. What is the purpose of "Quiet Power Mode" anyway and when do you use it?
The PC 24 doesn't have an APU, so you can use the QPM instead of really starting one engine. As far as I know the time in QPM does not count towards engine hours
And the QPM is like the Hush kit of the past on turbojets? And used when? Thanks for the training. Luv the PC12 and 24. Amused at comments of past posts about Lav placement. LOL.
Concerning QPM, I understood that it’s not counting on the engine hours due to almost no wear in this mode. But I assume it does count on the cycle of the right engine, right? If you would use the QPM regularly wouldn’t you run out of cycles or are the engines interchangeable?
Cycles are only counted on start up taken to flight . There are more start up to flight cycles on the left engine due to quick turns and only shutting down the left and starting back up when we depart. We don’t just run qpm and not go anywhere
@@PlaneJunkies once again, thanks for the quick response in this topic ;-) Makes sense of course. So the “issue” with too many cycles originates on the left rather then the right (QPM) engine. Or isn’t that seen as an issue, concerning maintenance costs?
I think QPM is used to make the right engine (that's away from the doors) act as the plane APU so the passengers aren't bothered with the excessive noise while waiting for takeoff
Great video in a wonderful aircraft! Question: can you use the QPM mode just like you would with a real APU? Can you leave it running on the ramp while loading bags and passengers?
In your walk around I didn’t her you check the o2 tank levels only turn on and test the mask, does the pc24 have a visual tank level marker as I thought this was a standard check
What kind of oil does the Pilatus PC-24 use? And what's it for? I mean does it lubricate the bearings inside the turbine or something? Piston aircraft and automotive engines, I get it but jet engines I'm not sure. I'd like to see that in a future video.
ebrown405 all jet Engines use Turbine Oil. E.g. from Aeroshell. It’s not a Pilatus (btw. Williams Engines) specific but a given for turbine engines regardless of type. Oil consumption is normally much less than oil consumption on piston engines so you can get out many many hours before refilling the oil.
Love it. The detail was the best I've seen yet. Thank you. This was a great class. Keep it going like this. Details like these are priceless.
I am disabled and cant get out of the house that much. I really enjouy your videos and thank you for making my days brighter.
Mind and body are two different things..
HOPE YOU ARE OKAY😊
Thank you for doing your videos uncut and in full depth and detail without distracting music, very refreshing! Keep it up!
probably the most thorough you tube video I have seen on this topic. ty
Oh boy! A 42 minute video on the PC-24! Love this channel!!!
thanks
Good stuff , keep it coming !
Hey Guys...From 24th of June 2019, i am working for Pilatus Aircraft in Switzerland...I only can say: I AM SOOO PROUD...A dream come true for me...Cheers from Switzerland
I really love this plane! As a Fokker fan I must say that the PC-24 is one of the nicest privatejets on earth.
A real bargain ! And capable in the most ways ,
As a Fokker fan myself, too bad that Fokker went under... totally unnecessary. If only the Dutch government at that time had more balls...What a waist!! This plane could have been build by Fokker, great looking and innovative design. Just shows that a small country can build great planes. Keep up the good work Pilatus!
Thank You for taking the time to show us the Pre-flight and Start up. It's a beautiful fast Moving Object.
Such an awesome aircraft, my favorite. Clean layout in cockpit. Love the 8 passenger cabin layout. Pilatus has hit a homerun with this PC 24.
they sure did
Thank you so much for this nicely paced video especially the Honeywell Primus glass cockpit. I love your PC-24! I also thank you for your extra effort to use fine cameras and keep your works music free. You speak so clearly because my sight and hearing is poor at 74+ year OLD. You have my most unworthy thanks for your hard work.
thank you . hope you enjoy the next video
Love the avionics and ergonomics of this plane. Hopefully the guy i work for buys this one day soon!
What a marvelous airplane! When Pilatus builds an airplane they do it RIGHT! I am sure once you fly in the PC-24 you never want to look back! A service ceiling of FL450 so you are above all the commercial traffic and can just breeze along to your destination.

If y'all excuse me I'm going to go potty in front of God and all his countrymen.
wonderful airplane, wonderful video. Greetings from Austria, Europe
Strangely, I find this fascinating, and relaxing to watch. Thanks for the run through.
A good friend of mine has a PC12 they are awesome planes I enjoy flying with him and try to do it often enjoy all of your videos great family as well
Wow, it’s hilarious that the other day I was working on that aircraft and was talking to you. Now I watch this video and never thought you had a TH-cam channel. Greetings from KACY
nice to meet ya lol
Great presentation. One of the best I have ever seen. You did a very good job.
@PlaneJunkies Good day, Tommy! Thanks so much for sharing this video.
I really enjoyed your unedited, pilot POV external & internal pre-flight checks from start to finish. It's like being there just beside you!
You have probably helped Pilatus sell a few more PC-24s with your videos and not even know it. 😊
Please keep up all your good work. 👍🏻👍🏻
Your long-time subscriber.
I cant get enough of the PC-24. You are really the only person that puts up quality videos on it. Thank you so much!!
Thank you very much for the closer look at the PC-24. I look forward to flying this bird.
Thanks again Tommy...impressed by your 20 years of experience and flying and driving skills....best wishes...
I'm headed to Dallas for class next week. It's nice to see the the walk around and cockpit checks. Thanks.
enjoy
Today, I watched most of your flights, but this one is very interesting. You showed us step by step, I know know this flight deck more than my car lol. Thank you man, you get the funnest job! Flying plane ✈️ PC24 is so beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Much respect for the pause at 23:00 for us to listen to that cessna get its clearance. A lot of people on TH-cam are looking for some ATC comms too, so I appreciate even if it wasn't you doing it. Btw looks like it was a student
I'm 40 years old and this is a life time dream of mine. With a family, career, bills... I don't know how I could possibly get this going.

It’s never to late to start . You have plenty of time to make those dreams come true. Just slowly start get into training it will happen

What a great video. Thanks for this. I wish everyone made one comprehensive video that went through everything you did. Bravo.
This jet is awesome! You are one lucky man to fly it so frequently!
Yes I am! lol
Very nice demonstration of QPM mode!
It looks like a fantastic aircraft, very solid and beautiful.
"I checked the engine oil yesterday"
- famous last words 😋
haa lol ya good thing I didn't fly lol
Jets don't leak ... if they do you'd absolutely see it - ALL OVER THE FLOOR
Fox3 JetWarbirds jets don’t leak when they are out of oil. Have you seen a gulfstream LoL.
My wife never checks the oil in her jet, she goes through 3 OHs a year.
@@jameswest8280 This implies that you guys have the money to do those OHs and I'm jealous..
Thanks! I love how you explain everything
That is one bad ass jet. Wow. That looks fun to fly for sure...
Really enjoyed your video on the beautiful PC24
Glad you enjoyed it
Great channel. Please can you do a video about the breaking and steering systems and their use from taxing to landing. Again, very interesting video and thanks for taking the time to make them.
Thank you Sir for this great video. I wanna buy the Iris Simulations PC-24 for FSX/P3D but I bet the avionics won't be modeled like the real one... This jet is such a babe, much love and respect from France.
Thx for your video, i like the planes from Pilatus was two times in they factory here in Switzerland and i love how they work and produce they planes.
I'm in NYC 2020 Virus lockdown ... this is sooooo much fun watching your videos. When I grow up I want a P24 and a Tesla x (I'm72 and I still have goals!) Great work THANKS

BTW, understand QPM hours doesn't count for engine TBO. Pls confirm.
Great video! It's funny, at 20:00 the aircraft getting clearance. Skyhawk 117SV is actually one of the aircraft for my flight school.
This plane has such clean lines
Great explanations Tommy. Enjoyed it!
Glad it was helpful!
The Mexican guy standing around with the yellow mop bucket was a nice touch. Si, senor.
Great video! I have been wondering about QPM ever since I heard about. Thanks for the tutorial.
That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
What a great aircraft. Love these videos. And so that’s what that sound is - the brake accumulator.
Absolutely excellent walk through of the aircraft and its avionics. Keep them coming!!
Great videos! I hope Pilatus delivers a lot with aft lavs and better forward galleys, as they say the airplane can be equipped as..
WOW - mind boggling the amount of 'stuff' to know. You know things back the front - perfectly- eye opening video. You are very impressive. I'd fly with you!
That background humm makes my eardrums vibrate every time, lol. Hey, I thought that iPad app could communicate with your controller and auto populate the input. I'm sure I read that in a review somewhere. Perhaps a different app?? Anyways, Thank you. Michael 🇦🇺
Hella of a pilot, To be the PIC of, one of only 70 PC-24✈️ made thus far. very kool sir👊🏽.
Thank you for the detailed video. Loved this and all your videos.
Thanks for the video and the info! That was great! I’ve flown the PC12 and a Lear 60 for years so needless to say I’m in love with this new PC24!
I like everything about the PC-24, barring one. What Einstein put the lav in the middle of the ****** cabin?
Such a beautiful machine.
Just a brilliant video! 👏👏👏👏
What a strange place for the bathroom, then again, very convenient for the pilots.
Considering PC-24 is rated for single-pilot operations, the shortest bathroom trip possible is preferable.
Gawd that is a beautiful aircraft! Love the red paint job.
I was going to ask you to do a video on the QPM mode. You beat me to it. I was really interested in how much of a difference it made, especially from the exterior. Not too much, it seems. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work.

Thanks a lot for your video!! 😊👍🏽
Really well done video. Curiosity question, though: why does a leading edge scratch ground the aircraft? Anti-icing issues?
Some friends and I want to solve a problem. We have many oil execs coming from West Texas to Corpus Christi and they have to fly in commuter either out of San Antonio, Houston, Harlingen or sometimes Dallas in squeezed seats.

bruh that was so entertaining nicely done! and just curious what app do you use to create the flight plan and get ur v1 v2 VR?
Great detail in the content.
Very cool, would love the chance to fly with you!
Really enjoyed your "QPM" video! Thanks for showing the detailed cockpit checklist and layout description.

Hi.. I'm Brazilian and Pilatus PC-12/PC-24 Fan. I'd like to know if do you agree if i share this video in my Channel with credits to you ?
Great job, Tommy!
And the QPM is like the Hush kit of the past on turbojets? And used when? Thanks for the training. Luv the PC12 and 24. Amused at comments of past posts about Lav placement. LOL.
No, QPM is to put the ENG Nr. 2 into an APU mode so to say. Delivers power and air that way, if you're away from any Ground Power Unit.
You really know that jet! What's your background?
Now THAT'S a tidy cockpit!
Brazil is watching you captain
Concerning QPM, I understood that it’s not counting on the engine hours due to almost no wear in this mode. But I assume it does count on the cycle of the right engine, right?

Parking Break Check
PC24 Check
Video Was AWESOME!! CHECK!!!! :D
Awesome thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
This man know his plane
This was a GREAT explanation
Damn this plane is amazing, is it yours or do you fly it for your boss?
Thank you and greetings from Italy!
company
Great video in a wonderful aircraft! Question: can you use the QPM mode just like you would with a real APU? Can you leave it running on the ramp while loading bags and passengers?
I take my type ride in a week. Thanks for the info!
Very nice video. Thank you
Awesome video dude! Thanks!
That is one CLEAN plane!
Your camera work is amazing!!
Great video of an amazing aircraft
In your walk around I didn’t her you check the o2 tank levels only turn on and test the mask, does the pc24 have a visual tank level marker as I thought this was a standard check
you can see the amount In the ace system and will get a cas msg if low
Badass plane bro
it sure is lol
What app are you using on your tablet to gather your take off/landing & weight information for your airports?
Hi ,the video is great,,,I am interesting what the app You are usieng to get all these speeds?
It's an app that Pilatus published, foreflight also works
Is Honeywell still unable to throw out V speeds??? Really??? Collins FMS do this for decades now!
Wow Man!!! Awesome video, Thanks for the whole run down. That was awesome!!!
What kind of oil does the Pilatus PC-24 use? And what's it for? I mean does it lubricate the bearings inside the turbine or something? Piston aircraft and automotive engines, I get it but jet engines I'm not sure. I'd like to see that in a future video.
ebrown405 all jet Engines use Turbine Oil. E.g. from Aeroshell. It’s not a Pilatus (btw. Williams Engines) specific but a given for turbine engines regardless of type. Oil consumption is normally much less than oil consumption on piston engines so you can get out many many hours before refilling the oil.
