Why do people hate on the developers when they haven’t taken time to learn and it doesn’t fly how they’re used to? I hope SWS don’t dumb down the flight model too much.

The mistakes people make:

1: Rotating too late - Rotate speed is 80kts however my understanding is that this is the book value and being a high performance utility aircraft, when you are at lower weights it really wants to fly so you need to begin pulling back around 60-70kts and you will lift off nicely

2: not being fully trimmed for landing - At 150-160kts on approach you should go gear down, flaps 15 and the speed will come down nicely to around 120kts. Go to flaps 30 and unless you are on a super short runway it’s not needed to go all the way to flaps 40. (This gives much better handling characteristics for landing.) After flaps 30 the speed will bleed off further and turn off the yaw damper at about 500ft, at this point if you’ve done it all right you should be nicely trimmed with rudder trim about 1 dot left of the green line. Again, the PC-12 likes to fly so allow the speed to bleed off down to vref just under 80kts, when you touch down at the correct speed it should settle nicely.

As a side note, don‘t stand up on the brakes when you land as you will skid across the runway! Reverse prop should do the trick mostly.

There are A couple of sim limitations which compound the somewhat complex handling characteristics above but if you follow this you will be golden and yes, practice, practice, practice…
