There is truth to that, one of my favorite things about flying a crewed airplane is someone to go eat lunch with and shoot the breeze.

may I throw one in, does not matter as we already are so far OT…

let's assume, the trim stick is the correct one….let us assume, because the engine seems to run on the "hot" side that your temp probes in the engine are correct….the real gotcha, the ones that I am worried about, are the "cool" engines…they may in fact have a problem with burned off temp probes…which may be the reason they indicate "cool" when in fact they are pretty hot…

let's assume the torque sensor is not "bent" but indicating correctly…

how about, when was the last compressor and turbine wash performed on that engine?

try it out….

to gain 20° C or more after a good compressor wash on a PT 6 or any other turbine engine for that matter is easy…

just saying..

may be wrong...

Gerard, great points, those are my normal temps since I owned the airplane. I do compressor washes about every 3 weeks when in Florida and the islands.

may I ask, "just" desalination washes, and they really are important, or the full treatment with a compressor detergent?

(just had seen it years ago on a Caravan, while desalination washes took care of the salt, that engine had been washed on weekly basis, the compressor still was loading up with the usual dirt caused by doing a lot of take-offs and approaches in industrially polluted areas..needed a full treatment, did wonders to make the compressor breathe easily again..with a corresponding reduction of ITTs..)

I like farkles. In my truck and in my plane.

ok, do you like the new lane departure warnings, etc.? It's like a shaker stick for your car. Just bought my wife a new suburban that has it and IMHO it's an unneeded farkle.

farkle on!

I do! It's easy enough to turn off, but I like it.

I'm not sure if it makes it safer or not. Encourage people to text even more because it makes it easier not to run off the road? Or keeps them from running off the road.

If I could justify a Tesla with a/p, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I'm a tech nut. Sometimes to my detriment. When an iOS upgrade comes out, I can't download it fast enough.

Let me get this straight, you bought your wife a suburban, knowing it had a stick shaker?

Looks awesome. A Pilatus with Garmin G3000 and a bigger cargo door, with a more efficient engine. Love it.

After watching the video and reading the specs my dream plane has changed from the PC12NG to the Cessna Denali. That is one awesome airplane and IMHO will out sell the PC12 to private owners like Jason, Mike and others who will pilot them.

Although I would want at least 100K off the price for Textron not making it a Beechcraft product and naming it Starship II or? :scratch:

It would take some of the pain out of spending that much money and not being able to call it a Beechcraft. BTW I owned a Cessna years ago and loved it so I'm and not a Cessna hater just a Beechcraft lover.
