Great video!! Just what I had been searching for. Clear, as simple as is sensible without unnecessary fluff, covers both real and Sim, showing while talking through the procedure, plus tips about off nominal cases. Pretty close to perfect IMHO. Thanks hugely from a serious Sim denizen!
@@GeneStuart Thank YOU! You hooked me as a sub(!) Watched another of your pc-12 vids, going to watch as many as I can. I really relate to your approach, it speaks to me as I try to fly a pretend plane that does not work quite the way the real thing does(!!) In any case - thanks much for your efforts, can't help but think others will find your vids extremely understandable and useful. And BTW thanks for the first (only?) explanations of hot vs hung start that make any sense (at least to me). (Others I have heard say stuff like 'they are the same thing' - really? If so, why two different terms for the 'same thing'?
That's great to hear! I make these videos in hopes that they help, so I always appreciate it when someone takes the time to let me know. And about the hot start vs. hung start -- they are definitely different and, in fact, have almost nothing in common. 😁 So, I'm glad I could clear that up.
In x-plane 11 (maybe 12 too), you can save a view by entering ctrl-numpad number (eg. ctrl-8) . I've done this for the overhead panel (among others) so that I can get a clear view of the panel quickly. Many thanks for your videos. It is helpful to see how someone with real life experience in the PC-12 manages the aircraft. Cheers.
I got the Carenado PC12 for MSFS, I'm loving that plane. Been flying it for a month straight and can't get myself to fly anything else. Not complaining though
Enjoying the content, very informative. Curious, are you familiar with the REP package for this aircraft? I'm under the impression (desktop simmer) that it does a better job of modeling several things you've brought up in your videos. Keep the great content coming, thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for the kind words! Motivates me to keep posting. As far as the REP, I do have it installed. I installed it before ever really playing around with the base version without it, so I'm not sure how much improvement there is over the original. But, apparently the REP does model the mid-start ITT rollback (which I have noticed in the sim... pretty cool). According to the developer, it does a bunch of other stuff for the engine like makes the spool time more realistic, models hot start behavior, and tracks engine damage if you over-temp it, etc. It claims to make engine temperatures more realistic too, but they still aren't great. I'd give them a C- for temps... They're pretty inaccurate during several phases of flight. But, still might be an improvement over the original. Still worth getting I think.
Yes! Pilatus/Pratt don't require it to be open unless you're operating on an unimproved surface where FOD might be an issue, or unless you're in icing conditions. Most operators want it open during surface and low altitude operations though, just to be safe. It doesn't raise your temps too much, so generally the added protection against FOD is worth the fuel cost.

Thank you so much! It's great to get feedback like this, and it's nice to know my videos are helping my simmer and pilot friends out there. Cheers!

Took me a while to get this: *this is a SIMULATION!* So freaking REALISTIC!
The MSFS2020 version is even better!
I have been watching all your PC_12 videos and have learned so much. Later I plan on getting training for rating in the PC-12. God bless!
That's wonderful to hear. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Awesome content, glad to see you’re posting again!
Thanks, Matt! Glad to see you back too!

Thanks for the tip! Your glider videos are beautiful.
Great informational video!
Thanks for watching!

Yeah, it's pretty great. Not perfect, but I love it.
I'm in the exact same situation, it feels like home flying the PC-12 although I knew nothing about the plane before the MSFS version!

Does the inertial separator stay open during start?
Yes! Pilatus/Pratt don't require it to be open unless you're operating on an unimproved surface where FOD might be an issue, or unless you're in icing conditions. Most operators want it open during surface and low altitude operations though, just to be safe.
