This channel provides basic and advanced aviation information for pilots and aviation enthusiasts looking to gain a deeper knowledge on a variety of aviation topics. These topics include: systems, human factors, preflight preparation, aerodynamics, regulations, maneuvers, multiengine, and instrument procedures. These topics are addressed using my extensive experience or over two decades working as a CFI, CFII, MEI, backcountry instructor, aerobatic instructor, 141 chief pilot, Medevac pilot and FAA designated DPE. qp Aviation has been organized as a way to disseminate critical information gained from these experiences and increase the knowledge and safety of the aviation community.

These systems are utilized on Beechcraft 1900, Starship, King Air C90, B200, B300, Pilatus PC21, PC12, PC 9, PC 7, PC 6, Air Tractor AT 400, AT 502, AT 602, ...
May want to check the theory behind aerodynamic twisting and centrifugal twisting. Happy to be educated but normally aerodynamic twisting goes to coarse and centrifugal twisting pitches to fine
Wow, that was tops, you got yourself a subscriber from South Africa 🇿🇦. I love how during your presentations, you provide a problem to the illustration, then our minds get tricked, excited and curious, then further you magically plug in a solution on how it was solved. I found that style of presentation exciting and makes a good reception of information in our brain. There's a video of Elon Musk where he says, minds have a tendency to want to forget things. He said, but if during the lesson you throw in an element of importance and why what you're teaching is seriously necessary, the brain will automatically store that in a long term memory because there's element of emotions attached to that specific information. Appologies for a long thread but your presenteation style kind of reminded me of his words.Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words. I am very fascinated with the way the human brain works and have taught several university courses on the principles you are talking about. How information is presented makes a very big difference to our ability to both understand and remember it. You are absolutely correct! I plan to make a video series on this topic as well as other human factors as I continue to develop the channel. Thank you for your support, I hope you find the information of this and future videos engaging and helpful.
Nice
Thank you
Thank you so much for making this
My pleasure!
This is such an underrated channel. Absolutely fantastic
Much appreciated!
the P T stands for Papyrus Typeface
nice
Very good! Making this informative video must have taken a lot of work and time. Thank you!
You are welcome, I hope you have found it helpful.
This is fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to put all this together. The timing cannot be better.
You're very welcome!
Thanks
No problem, you are welcome
perfect explanation, thanx
thank you
I'm an "OLD" A/P mechanic and wished I had this animation and clear explanation back in tech school, it would have saved me a lot of OJT time. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you, I feel the same way. That is why I started doing this.
This is the best explanation.Could you create a movie how work FCU (Fuel Control Unit) PT6? Please.
Thank you, I am currently working on an FCU explanation. Watch for it in the coming months.
"Don't pick die" Just too cool.
Thank you
My God! Such a cool video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Brilliant Video
thank you
FCU video next please!
FCU is on the list, hopefully I should have it out in the next couple of months.
Best video on this I've seen.
Thank you
Adding the complexity layer by layer makes so much more sense than throwing a full system diagram up at once.
Absolutely the best breakdown of this subject I’ve seen. Genius!
Thank You
Exceptional video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hellor sir, this is very big help for me becase im not good at english and having difficulties reading on MM. I hope you make another helpful vieos like this. Maybe you can make video for fuel system for pt6 engine also and oil system. Thank you so much
Thank you for your comments. I plan to produce a series of videos that cover all of the systems of various aircraft including the fuel and oil systems.
Retracting the landing flaps upon landing on most aircraft will create more lift as the flaps may be transitioning through the take-off flaps position.
tomw5907, thank you for your comment. I have heard this concern before and it usually stems from the misconception of the source of lift generation at various flap settings. During flight most aircraft are more efficient at producing lift at the takeoff flap setting because high flap angle produce a lot of drag. When flaps are reduced to takeoff settings the reduction of drag allows the aircraft to accelerate and the increased airspeed creates a net gain of lift production. However, this gain of lift is not immediate as it required the aircraft to accelerate to produce the lift, and it only occurs when the aircraft has engine power or altitude to use for acceleration. Neither of these criteria are met during the landing roll. During the landing roll the loss of drag from flap retraction (both landing and takeoff settings) is not ideal as more drag would assist in lift destruction. However, this penalty is offset by the immediate loss of lift from the lower AOA and subsequent enhanced braking capabilities. I have tested this method on 35 different airframes over 5,000 landings and found that retracting the flaps at touchdown will reduce your landing roll distance on average by approximately 10 percent. Have you had the opportunity to test this method to see if these finding hold true for your aircraft or do you have any additional data that you have based you statement on? I would love to widen my understanding. One really easy and safe way to test the effect of flap settings is to get the aircraft stabilized at a safe altitude with full flaps. Then simply retract the flaps to the takeoff setting and see what the aircraft does. If the aircraft enters into an immediate climb then your concern may be valid for your aircraft. However, my experience is that most aircraft will immediately lose altitude, accelerate, and then gradually start into a climb. Please let me know what you find out, and fly safe my friend.
This is the best Prop system explanation I have seen! 🎉 Exceptional!!
Thank you. I am glad it was helpful!
That’s what I was looking for so much time. I was wondering why some pilots told me that the FTG on PT6 works only when the primary and secondary TG failed and that’s didn’t make sense for me due to so many info finding in websites, however none explanation (text) really help to understand like this video. I will keep waiting for more videos like this, thanks.
You are very welcome. I am glad that it was helpful.
Brilliant video and channel
Thank you very much!
Very educational and nice graphics. This channel was quickly shortlisted as important.
Thank you!
