That's a very instructive video, but not just instructive. It's a very efficient post-production, with many views, these of the instruments, helping us to follow your explanations. What a gorgeous cloudy sky ! Great moment a little bit as your passenger. Hearing and watching you in the pilot seat is a pleasure. Thank you for sharing your flight. Salute from France.
Thanks André!
I love the weather readout you did for us to read alongside the callout. Great video!
Thanks again Grant for taking us along. Glad your back 🤙
Thank you for sharing a cool flights down there.😊
Yep, missed these videos, Thanks Grant
Welcome back Grant, another awesome 1NG video. Thank You sir!
Liked the state to state montage. Keep em coming. Great flight.
Love it. My favorite plane. You’re living the dream!
Really enjoyed this Grant! The clouds were AMAZING, and it was cool to see which states you were flying over. Great video!
Good Evening Grant! Great to see you again. Excellent Flight and Landing! Thank you for sharing. Godspeed...
Cruise timelapse was unique. Nice.
What a beautiful flight amazing clouds over Florida. That's OK every landing can't be absolutely perfect . I bounce the Champ once in awhile 👍😆
I live in Marion. It was pretty cool to see a video of someone flying out of here. Kudos my friend!
Thanks Grant! Excellent as always! I hope all is well with you and the family.😎
Thanks Randy!
I learned to fly at a little airport KMRN here in the foothills of western NC... We had winds like that here all the time! Especially after a front went through!! They'd cross the mountains then swirl & circle around these hills which caused me all kinds of problems!!! I would've gladly accepted your landing as GREAT!!! 🙂 Thank you for taking us land lubbers along for the ride!!! Safe travels sir 🙂
What a cruiser ,, Nice !!!
Thanks for another great video. 👍 That looks like a really cool rc airpark.😎
It was an awesome park! Busy RC airfield, mountain bike trail, and gun range. 😁
@GrantBaker Now we're talking. Perfect trifecta.🙌
Nice seeing you up flying Grant. Great flight. I am sure your right seat passenger loved his view. Great stats for the flight.
Yes he sure did! Thanks Mark.
Good to see ya back
Thanks Jeremy!
Fun vid. Looking forward to more.
Not this Year. I had it Down Here 2021. Flying into Marco Island was a Great Experience. I could Relate to Your Flight. It Brought Back Memories.
Thank you for the excellent video on your flight. I’m a former Malibu owner and just flew into Marco a couple weeks ago in a twin Comanche. Welcome to sunny Florida.
Grant thank you for your video!! You did a great job once again on capturing the highlights of your flight. I really like the state subtitles as you flew fast forward over them! Again great explanation on the cockpit actions. Oh and lastly I did not feel a bump on your landing! 😂 Thank you again and keep those awesome videos coming please!
Thanks Kevin!
I’ll be looking forward to seeing you come back to Manasas
Shoot me an email at pilatusgrant@gmail.com so I can let you know next time I’m out there!
Also, glad you caught runway 35 is a right pattern, I canceled IFR once upon a day and completely blew it…flew a left-hand pattern by not checking ahead of time.
Hello from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 and brilliant video sharing its magnificent, brilliant flying 🛩 very nice scenery it's beautiful
Hello! My next flight will feature an Irish guy…and possibly my very poor attempt at an Irish accent. 🤣
@@GrantBaker your welcome stay in contact 🔔
Nice to see you back sir haven’t seen you in a little bit
Thanks EJ!
Love your videos sir. I fly out of KGSH as well. Don't worry - we all bounce sometime :)
Man where have you been?? Good to see you back!
I know, it’s been way too long!😭
Immokalee, you were close. I worked their in the 70's. Interesting area.
I fly out of MWO (Just N of Cincy) to S Florida all the time as well and usually get direct but always plan on routing from ATL handoff to Jaxs app. Awesome video badass Plane!!
Great video!
It's been a while since you shared a video on yt. Thank you for sharing good memories once again. (Apologies if I made any mistakes my English is not strong).
Yes, I agree. It has been too long since my last video! (And your English was perfect 😁)
In my mind the PC12 is definitely one of the most visually interesting aircraft I see these days and one of the most interesting when you hear them when they do their startup. When I'm driving with someone in my vehicle people always ask what type of aircraft that is because of it's distinctive look.
Yes it has a great ramp presence and a unique sound!
Marion (KMZZ) is my base! Enjoyed your video, great work!!
Thanks Jerry!
Grant. Great Video. I’m in Venice Island Florida until April 17th. Only 1/2 Mile from KVMC.
Sounds like fun JP! Did you fly your Saratoga down?
Another great video. Another beautiful flight. Maybe lay off the kangaroo juice mate! Hehe. Thanks for sharing Grant.
🤣
Welcome back!
Thanks!
Hello from Montego Bay Jamaica 🇯🇲
👋
I really enjoyed this video. I'm just a flight simmer with 1400 hours but now I have to get the pc12.
I don’t do much flight sim, but I’ve heard a lot of talk about the SimWorks PC12. The legacy is out already. I’ll have to try out their NG when they get it done!
My flight instructor used to ask me if I thought I was on a trampoline. I also liked the weather commentary as well
😂that’s great!
Live in KAPF....fly into Marco all the time
Regards from Brazil!
👋
The development you saw was Babcock Ranch it’s a solar powered community utility electric is only a backup. It’s a pretty amazing community to visit if you ever get the chance
Cool!
Nice flight. Weird landings happen. Thanks for bringing us along. I hope to be able to afford this plane one day. I have a Piper right now. I need to figure out how to increase my income to get to your level.
Haha yeah weird landings do happen. I still try to understand why when they do though. I don’t own the plane, I fly it and manage it for a company.
Couldn’t tell the bounce. Looked good to me.
Nice flight. Landing, ehhhhhhhhh.... :-)
Not sure why but I haven't been notified of your last 3 videos by KZhead. I just binge watched the last 3 so I'm ok now LOL
Haha thanks for watching them!😁
Even though I am a pilot, I can’t keep up with you when you talk about the different flight data on the Garmin screen. It’s intuitive to you because you fly that cool stuff. Same for other systems in the plane. Show us. Please slow down a bit and point to what you are referring to, please. Vertical speeds, cabin pressure, intercepting the darned GS and Localizer, auto pilot for sure etc. Also, for us piston pilots, would you explain in more detail about ITT, NT, Hung start, Hot star, and the other things you as the pilot are watching and what it really means. Not a turbine course because we know how they work, but not how you operate them. I’ve been flying since 1997 and I stay current and study everything aviation. But I still get SO much from winners like you when you go back to basics and explain the most basic aspects of aviation. Thank you for what you do for us and I hope that wasn’t a jackass. Bo Brewer
@bobrewer202 nope I didn’t think you were rude! I do try to point some of that stuff out in my editing by adding the radar ping circles. Some of those things are happening at critical phases of flight and it wouldn’t be wise to distract myself with an explanation. Next time I video, I’ll try to remember to discuss cabin pressure a bit. That’s not something you can really see from any of the GoPros, and I don’t think I’ve talked about that in any of my other videos.
@@GrantBaker Makes perfect sense. That’s why we cut off our passengers on the intercom. Thank you for your generosity and for being open to feedback. Waiting for your next good 0ne!
You said Immokalee perfect by the way
Beautiful plane! Thanks for taking us along.
Glad to see you back at it again Grant!! Great video once again.
What did you think about the MZZ thermal and the airport.
Very nice video. I am learning about airplanes and enjoyed this. I have one question. How come the co-pilot only showed up at end of flight? I have never seen that before.
He was a passenger who started the flight in the back and switched seats.
@@GrantBaker oh I got it now. Sorry for the misunderstanding
Grant you flew right past Charlotte county executive airport Punta Gorda can we get back there sometime? Thank you for another excellent flight!
We’ve never been to Punta Gorda, but maybe someday!
LOVE Marco Island. Heading down there the third week of May. Always wondered what the airport looked like. Really enjoyed this flight. What was your flight time?
3.4hrs. All the flight stats are at the end of the video at 25:00
I have learned a lot watching your videos. I took some but ran out of money. So watch youtube tutorials and guys like you. My old boss was a dentist and real estate developer and has 2002 pc12, but had to get rid of it in 2008 when economy tanked. Would you do a video on how the radios work. So keep them, thanks alot
Fantastic video, what software do you use for editing 😎😎🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thanks! I use Davinci Resolve.
Do you take a bike with you on the plane or is it a rental? There is a great trail in three rivers mi at meyer broadway park if you ever find yourself driving a little north. Its worth the trip.
Meyer Broadway is awesome! I get up there a time or two a year usually, but I should try to ride it more. I bring my bike along on trips when I can.
Thought you had stopped videoing… knew had some older ones you haven’t posted yet, did you film the one when you stopped in Wichita?
I haven’t stopped filming! But no, I didn’t film that flight.
@@GrantBaker Ah man…. Was thinking that would be up soon since you posted the flight to Kansas…..
How does the five blade prop performance compare to the four blades
The main differences are that the 5-blade has better takeoff and climb performance.
On Marco right now
Is the inertial separator similar to a carb heat in my 182
Nope, it’s not really similar to anything in your 182. It’s a door that opens to allow fod (mainly ice and birds, but could also be small stones and other debris from an unimproved runway) that gets in the intake to exit before entering the engine. On a PT6, the air goes in the front and then makes a u-turn to go back forward through the engine and exits at the front. The intake is shaped in a way so that when the inertial separator door is open, FOD will go out the door instead of making the turn to go into the engine. Some air is also lost in the process, so at altitude you do lose some power with it open. And that’s also why closing it during climb reduces the ITT; more air is flowing through the engine.
Did they park you next to Stevo's TBM?
Nope, not his
LOL. Great video BTW-@@GrantBaker
so Grant , what are the advantages of flying a pc12 verses ,say a honda jet ??
The PC12 can operate out of much shorter runways than the Honda jet, and can operate off of unimproved runways. It can haul more weight and passengers, and has more range. It is more flexible with cabin layout and has the pallet-sized cargo door for easily loading cargo. The PC12 is extremely capable and one of the most versatile production aircraft available. The Honda jet can fly faster (422ktas vs 180ktas) and higher (FL430 vs FL300).
Thank you... I enjoy watching your videos .. I've seen your videos where u fly out of Goshen IN. we live towards Shipshewana
@blschrock yep we are based in Goshen!
You said Immokalee right the first time
How was the flight to New Orleans?
It was good! Low IFR when we landed with storms just to the south, so a missed would have been a bit interesting. We broke out at 100’ above minimums. Wish I’d have had the cameras running, it would have been an interesting video!
I wanna know how they were able to see that plane, on the tarmac, about to take off, was a 'Sky Hawk', from like miles away...dude must have some bionic eye sight...wow.@20:14
Haha they don’t call me eagle eyes for nothing!😜 The cut right before that transmission is a bit misleading I suppose, but you can tell by the angle I’m looking out the plane at him that we are just about abeam the end of the runway so he was less than a mile from us at that point.
@@GrantBaker Amen Brother...LOL...
Would you be willing to fly our family of 4 from IND to Destin and back this May?
Robert, we aren’t a charter operator so I can’t take you in our plane. If you find a PC-12NG to dry lease, I could be your pilot depending on schedule. Shoot me an email at pilatusgrant@gmail.com if you’re interested in pursuing that.
Well, we just became friends…so it won’t be a charter. lol! Thanks for the reply sir
whoa! how did that passenger get in that co-pilot seat there ? you were alone ! alien ? lol
“Beam me up Scotty!”
Is it 21 NG or 12 NG?
21NG. The full tail number is N921NG, which is a PC-12 NG
In Marco Island war ich mal in den Ferien mit meiner Familie im Marriot Hotel! 💌
Pilatus...100% Function...as NONE ever look good lol
My wife actually _wants_ me to get a Pilatus PC-12... I love my wife! Now I just need to find a way to pay for it.
youre just a show off tryhard.
