Pretty slow going over the past few months. Had a hard drive failure and needed to reload all Win7 applications. Doing more real world flying lately than sim, but that's a good thing too. Watch this space though cause I'm sure to burst into sim enthusiasm again soon! I have a Mustang on my mind!!!

December 2008 Builder of the Month

Welcome to KennAir

This is the home of my flight simulator. It's based on the Pilatus PC12 but with the ability to emulate the Beechcraft King Air B200 and Bombardier CRJ along with just about any other piston or turbine aircraft. What started out as a devise to supplement my real world flight training turned into a passion and an end in itself.

Knowledge is useless unless shared

So, after many exhaustive hours surfing the net and gaining inspiration from other home builders devoted to this hobby, I decided to give something back to the community by sharing my own knowledge and experience. I hope you find it useful and even inspiring. Please feel free to let me know either way via the contact page.

A new build is underway with Dual yokes, Dual Rudders, Main Panel, Avionics, Throttles & Overhead.

Take a tour of the NG cockpit

The product for which the Pilatus company is currently best known is undoubtedly the mighty PC-12, the aircraft which is revolutionising the aeromedical, police and business aircraft market segments. Pilatus has been building single-engine aircraft in Stans, Switzerland for nearly 70 years. In both the civilian and military markets, Pilatus enjoys a reputation for utilizing the most modern design techniques, precision engineering and cutting-edge manufacturing processes to produce its high performance aircraft. The latest and largest member of the Pilatus family is the PC-12 NG. Integrating a single turboprop engine into an aerodynamically advanced airframe, the Pilatus PC-12 NG combines excellent economy, reliability and versatility with the inherent safety of this type of aircraft.

Take a tour of the Proline 21 cockpit

Step inside the next-generation Beechcraft King Air B200 and you are immediately steeped in a sense of awe. This is the aircraft that changed an industry and now stands alone as the most successful turbine-powered business aircraft model of all time. It earned this distinction by establishing and maintaining a tradition of engineering excellence and exceptional value. The newest models feature enhancements like a Collins Pro Line 21® avionics package and the quietest cabin ever, the latest King Air B200 offers greater capability, comfort and dependability than any other comparable aeroplane. It is truly the stuff of legends.
