Flew the C90A years back. Great machine. If I can just recommend for others to announce your moves as your going along and speak about the KA while you're at cruise. I won't mention his name but one pilot flying a Baron does and makes it more interesting for non King Air pilots. Just saying. Otherwise good video.
@@RunwayHeading i appreciate you answering my questions! thanks much. one more thing... what's the ideal cruise power setting in the ITT, Torque, Prop, and Turbine?
Do those C90's have trouble tripping circuit breakers? That is a suspected cause of the Hawaii C90 crash. Supposedly the pilot lost all his avionics. Maybe an electrical failure at night?
I have flown 11 different C90s and never had a breaker pop. The only speculation I have seen for that crash is the possibility of spatial disorientation. I would be very surprised to see a complete avionics failure in a King Air.
@@RunwayHeading That's good to know. I got that Idea from a comment on another youtube channel about the C90 accident in Hawaii. This is his exact quote: "C90 ems pilot here. These model king airs have a troublesome bus tie system which can mistakenly trip. This can lead to loss of all avionics (including pilots attitude indicator and hsi) and panel backlighting until corrected, or pilot uses emergency lights or a flashlight to reference the attitude indicator on copilots side." I don't know what a "bus tie system" is. I just assumed it was a circuit breaker of some sort. Spacial disorientation can be a killer, if it's bad enough. I assumed the pilot was experienced enough to know how to handle it. Maybe not. Surely he had an autopilot? Anyway, the accident was the subject of our local IMC Club meeting a few weeks ago. It has haunted me ever since.
The one thing I would watch out for is the cannon plug below the fuel panel. Frost can corrode these connections. I once had the boost pumps remain on even after switched off at KYIP. It was pulled into maintenance and as they rebuilt the cannon plug, they explained that a C-90 based their had a dual engine failure when the short in the cannon plug closed both firewall valves. They landed in Lake Michigan. The corrosion comes from frost coming down the window and a poor seal on the fuel panel.
Excellent! Major kudos for showing single pilot IFR flying without silly airline callouts. CNI has quite the sloping runway...
Great photography of a great plane.
Great aviation video! I love the fact that you don’t use music on your video!
Thank you 🙂
Absolutely!!
Nice video. This is my home airport. I saw my Skyhawk on your left as you rode by the east ramp N7462X 😊
Good idea with the soft ambient engine sound. Many of us consider that music.
Great Video! I was surprised when atc said cherokee county I live about 15 mins north of there. Great Flying
That was my airfield when I got my license and until I had to quit.good to see it.
Did my first solo at cherokee in georgia, great flight!
I miss flyin the KA 90. I flew as the med crew on a Medivac. It was a great little plane!
Nice job on the video and on the flying part. Look forward to seeing more from you. Thanks.
Nice landing. Thanks for sharing .
Great video man! Adding the engine noise was a good choice.
Thanks!
Im in love with C90, right now 😍
Great video. I love the C90!
That was a great approach and landing
Thank you!
Smooth landing , even though that little bit of yaw to the left right before touchdown made me nervous.Not too wide of a runway.
Thanks! Yep I got just a little off centerline, not enough rudder input for the crosswind.

I need to get used to talking to the camera a few people have suggested I do that. Might try in the next one. Thank you sir
Even though it was an IFR flight plan, less than 5 minutes of IMC, so you could only log a very few minutes of instrument time. Enjoyed the video. 😀
Hy Dennis, perfect - nice flyt. Michael
Thank you!
Love the video. What do you do that allows you to fly King Airs around? 🤩
Thank you, I ferry them around for my dad’s company
Subbed for more C90 content! You talk more about whats going on during the video. Let people know what you're doing and why.
Thank you, I’ve been debating on whether or not to start talking more, maybe I’ll try it out in the next one
Kim trails on arrival
. One day I will be able to get on the plane and I will control it by myself
It looks like it’s hard to see out of the windshield. Is that the case or is that a optical illusion with the cam behind pilots head?
Just how the camera focus is set up
@@RunwayHeading copy
take off on low idle?
@@francisbelen7629 yes, the idle setting only affects the gas generator speed at idle. Has nothing to do with power above idle or in flight
@@RunwayHeading does that mean that i can just set that to low idle on all flight phases?
@@francisbelen7629 yes, the only time high idle is used is for a cross-gen assisted start and landing on short runways when you want maximum reverse
@@RunwayHeading i appreciate you answering my questions! thanks much. one more thing... what's the ideal cruise power setting in the ITT, Torque, Prop, and Turbine?
@@francisbelen7629 depends what model you’re flying. 90,200,300 3 or 4 blade props. The AFM will tell you

Nice video is made better by not putting music
You missed the 230 heading you were given to clear the restricted area. You reported 220 heading.
Just rewatched it I definitely said 230 @5:50
😮
