Great video, and there is a lot to learn here. I've experienced cases where I got behind the aircraft and needed ATC help and didn't ask. Not good. Two words I've burned into my brain now are "standby" and "unable" - these can come in handy from time to time. I also try to take more care during the takeoff briefing to better anticipate frequency changes, and other things ATC or the airspace might require.
Was this acting? This is terrifying and pretty much summarises why private pilots are dying in massive numbers in these high performance single turbines. The fact that the pilot confesses that the stick shaker came on early (due the pusher icing mode) suggest that it has happened to him before. It's incredible you get a stall warning at 800ft AGL and you don't firewall the levers, lower the nose and save your ar$e is remarkable. I'm seriously unsure this video actually helps a PC12 pilot because if you don't have the fundamentals down before you climb into your +$3M USD aircraft with your family in the back - then there is very little to learn here.
The aircraft should have an emergency activation button! When the pilot presses this button the AP should activate immediately, setting altitude-hold and banking to zero, so the plane flies straight. Also (if the plane has autothrottle) automatically power up or down if the parameters are outside the limits. This is very useful for such desorientation situations.
The intro states "The scenarios are dramatized to illustrate the points." So, yes acting, but the PC12 can be a lot of airplane for a low time, single pilot operator. Especially someone who does not fly regularly or in IFR regularly. I've been training pilots on the machine for cleae to a decade now, and I've seen many new FOs come into our training program and make similar mistakes.
These are very advanced high performance aircraft, Pilots need to be on top of their game to operate them safely. Single Pilot Night/IMC is not a good place to realise you are in too deep. It is best to decide on the ground not to make the flight if conditions are not good. Know your Auto Pilot, it is a very good Servant, however a very poor Master. Consider employing a Professional Pilot, or better still two.
the PC 12 seems unforgiving and easy to get behind in, i’m seeing a lot of accidents with the aircraft. This should be a 2 pilot aircraft not single pilot. I think all the automation to be overwhelming and difficult to learn, we should go back to the simpler steam gauges.

Thank you for flight...great experience...new sub

The Cirrus jet has this feature if I'm not mistaken.
