PC-12 for CYCG ops?

<< < (2/3) > >>

EHM-1465 Dominic:
There are two possible answers to that question Ted:-

a - the flights are so new that the PP software hasn't generated any passengers yet - the number increases over time.

b - our initial EHB clients are very famous and have asked for total secrecy for their trip into the WILD to avoid the paparazzi  ;D

   Thanks for that last piece of info Don, I  am off to CYCG with my camera. :D ;D

EHM-2381 Ted:
I chuckled and flew 8 ninjas plus all baggage into KSEA this morning  ;D

Short Final KSEA:


Be careful departing CYCG with the PC-12 and a full load. V1/Vr took a lot longer than I expected and I came very close to aborting takeoff.

**edit**I only used flaps 15 for takeoff...perhaps flaps 30 with the heavy load and short runway would be the better option as the aircraft did NOT want to leave the ground at 85 knots. Then again I turned right on to the runway and started rolling rather than stand on the brakes while the engine spun up. Lesson learned!

I also had a 42 knot headwind all the way to Seattle!

EHM-1997 Alexander:
Nice shots Ted  ;D I love seeing the EHB planes in action.

EHM-1465 Dominic:
Glad to see you're fulling exploring the flight envelope Ted  :D

Nice pictures, can't see any ninjas though, I guess they were shy for the camera ;)
