Just curious, ever have any "hot start" shutdowns with the PT6?
24/7 for me for a few years, on the maintenance end, too with King Airs. Now it's another American made "suck and blow" aircraft company for me.
Nah, never had any real problems with them. The only time I shut one down was on landing at Detroit Metro, a chip detect light came on right at touch down, shut it down since we were already on the ground and taxied in, no one in back knew any different, just a bad sensor...........and before anyone asks it was a smooth touch down :)
They were a pleasure to operate, you always knew you had a solid aircraft behind you.
