longest flights

Recommended Posts

4.2 hours. From KBLI to KPHX. With the mod pack, this aircraft is almost spot on for performance in the sim vs. the actual aircraft.

I really don't mean to brag as its not my style, but the story of the amazing performance and potential of the PC-12 combined with the PT6-67B needs to be told!

I flew from Houston Executive to Boeing Field Seattle in 7.5hours, single pilot PIC, Part 91.  Full load of fuel (2700lbs) and a full load of rescued pets from Hurricane Harvey last year.

Once I informed ATC of my precious 'cargo' they gave me direct routing for the CHINS2 arrival.  Verified by FlightAware :-D

Cool and PC12Instructor I could use your help with the PC12 just what approach speed should I use for a greaser landing?

Try getting those last flaps out at 95 and greazing on at 85, or may be slightly less if you're light.
