Good luck getting the FSDO to approve a checklist that contradicts the limitations set by Pilatus.
Seriously?? Do you have ZERO reading comprehension? I clearly said three times this was NOT an actual situation. And three times you told me to write it up. HOW can I write up something that isn't happening? This was a hypothetical situation that happened to one of our other pilots. A guy who actually was a PC-12 instructor at his last company. He is suggesting we make this change.
I also clearly said "
I disagree with the practice as does my employer. I always follow the checklist but there is a strong push to stop turning on the O2 when we do our checklist."
I am not the one suggesting this. I am against this practice. I was asking for other pilots input because our pilots are considering this. I am looking to see if other pilots are doing this or if this is a known problem with the PC-12.
But since you can't "read" you have made a huge and impicilic leap of logic.
