Flying the Pilatus PC-12

Install the Pilatus PC-12 into your FSX \simobjects\airplanes folder or your FS2004 or FS2002 \aircraft folder. If you haven't already done so, follow the instructions on our installation page. Press the 'S' key to see the 2D cockpit; press the 'S' key again to see the 3D cockpit and twice more to see the aircraft from the spot plane view. Here's a quick walk around: Press 'L' to turn on the landing lights. Press 'O' to turn on the strobe lights. Press 'E' to start the engine. Press F8 to see the flaps slowly drop into position. Press F5 to retract the flaps for takeoff. Press the stick forward and back to see the elevator move up and down. Press the yoke from side to side to see the rudder and ailerons move. Press Shift 'E' to open and close the door. Takeoff Normal takeoff is without flaps. Line up with the center of the runway. Apply full throttle. When you accelerate to 90 knots, pull back slightly and the PC-12 will easily liftoff. Climb to your desired cruising altitude and set throttle to your cruising speed, about 250 knots. Landing For landing, set up approach to the runway at about 110 knots. You can use one notch of flaps. On short final drop full flaps. The PC-12 stall speed is 65 knots which means that you can be touching down at a quite modest speed.
