Turboprop Trauma

Pro Member First Officer

I've lately had occasion to fly a couple of turboprops, specifically the Beech King Air 350 and the Beech 1900D. Once in the air, they are great machines, but on the ground, they drive me nuts Wall Bashing. At minimum throttle, they taxi so fast, I have to ride the breaks almost continuously. Very difficult to control, especially in traffic. Is there something I don't know about setting prop pitch or some such to overcome this annoying 'feature'?

I would advise dropping your prop RPM a tad, that might help. I fly jets mostly, but i do enjoy the occasional turbo. If that dont work, use the F2 key for throttle instead of a joystick throttle. just tap it untill you begin to roll, then drop it to idle.

Good luck

Just where did you get the C 1900Beechcraft? I like the ATR 42 myself, good bit faster than the C 1900.
