Woodbridge Airfield to the north east of London offers optimum test conditions: Pilatus spent two weeks there in June 2018 testing the PC-24’s landing and take-off capabilities on the airfield’s unmade runway for the first time. (youtube.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Nice accomplishment, but... to quote an astute YouTube commenter "0 P": "Somewhere in Columbia a drug cartel is ordering a fleet"
Fairly confident Pilatus would not test there without a complete ground inspection.
The Off-Road Jet has finally arrived!
My former husband was CDR at Flughafen Berlin-Tempelhof 1988-1991. The US Army had two Pilatus Porter PC-6s in the hanger. He said this plane flew like a kite and often just did not want to land. West Berlin was restricted airspace at the time, of course. And did not Mel Gibson "fly" one in Air America the plane landed up hill in the dirt? Great Swiss precision at work.
Great till a stone goes through the flap!
Nothing a little 100mph tape wouldn't fix well enough to get you someplace for a permanent repair.
PC12s land daily on dirt in Flying Doctors Fleet in Australia the plane is designed for this
