P C-1 2 NG
Crafted in Switzerland. Exceeding Expectations Everywhere.
PILATUS PC-12 NG Crafted in Switzerland. E x c e e d i n g E x p e c tat i o n s EverywherE.
H E R I TAG E Like the mountainous Swiss terrain from which it was born, the Pilatus PC-12 NG is powerfully rugged, substantial in feel and solid to the core. Throughout its distinctive history, Pilatus has built a reputation for constructing aircraft that excel in demanding conditions, yet without compromising speed, safety and comfort. Our military trainers, the PC-7 MkII, the PC-9 M, and PC-21, have forged new aviators into the world’s foremost fighter pilots. The PC-6 Porter has been heralded as one of the most extraordinary bush planes ever built. From our proud heritage comes knowledge. The Pilatus PC-12 NG single turboprop embodies all of this experience and represents the pinnacle of 70 years of precision aircraft manufacturing.

PERFORMANCE Setting a new standard among business aircraft, the PC-12 NG has the broadest performance envelope of any in its class. Start with its dependable gas turbine engine, the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67P, flat rated at 1,200 shaft horsepower for takeoff and climb. With it, the PC-12 NG can quickly accelerate and depart with a full load of eight passengers and bags using only 1,650 feet of runway. In the air, you can choose cruising altitudes up to 30,000 feet and speeds of up to 280 knots. With a pressurized cabin larger than those found on many business jets, you gain the ability and convenience of transporting people in efficient comfort. And the PC-12 NG’s superior runway performance enables you to land at thousands of airports worldwide that the competition is just plain unable to use. Why compromise when you don’t have to?

V E R S AT I L I T Y Too often an aircraft excels in one area only to compromise in another. The Pilatus PC-12 NG is the exception, a rare combination of spaciousness, speed, economy and performance. Configurable for a variety of missions—executive, regional, air ambulance, cargo, or combination—the PC-12 NG makes operations easy with a forward airstair and a large pallet-sized cargo door. It can transport business executives in sumptuous luxury or haul important cargo into an austere airfield. With its long-range, impressive short-field performance and the ability to handle unpaved runways with ease, the PC-12 NG delivers unmatched versatility with whatever payload you choose.

Each PC-12 NG is a testament to unyielding refinement. We believe that perfecting the smaller details, even the ones you may never see, creates an aircraft without equal. For instance, the PC-12 NG’s hand-welded engine mount is a work of art that takes technicians a week to craft. The aircraft’s internal wheel wells and access bays, areas not commonly seen, are finely finished in gloss white. The entire airframe is fatigue-tested to the equivalent of seven lifetimes without failure. And, to reduce weight and increase reliability, each main wing spar is milled from 2,000 lbs. down to 80 lbs. out of a solid billet of aluminum. Excessive? Not to us.
THE DIFFERENCE

P I L OT I N G T H E P C - 1 2 N G The precision so evident throughout the PC-12 NG is nowhere more apparent than within the cockpit. For this is indeed a pilot’s aircraft. Created for the single pilot, the cockpit is both efficient and intuitive. From the comfort of its command seats, pilots find the Honeywell Primus Apex avionics system has been cleverly designed to reduce pilot workload and improve safety. Systems are carefully integrated and automated, including starting sequence, pressurization, propeller control, fuel balancing and dual zone climate control to name just a few. The PC-12 NG is simply the perfect combination of single-pilot operation and advanced aviation technology.

The time you spend within the PC-12 NG should be productive, enjoyable and comfortable. To bestow these qualities upon the cabin, Pilatus has teamed up with BMW Group Designworks to create a series of interior designs that complement the aircraft. Every component is chosen to enhance the passenger experience of the PC-12 NG. Supple, soft leathers, rare hardwood cabinetry with exquisite details and the finest textiles merge to create an interior of your choosing which reflects the meticulous construction of the aircraft. To accentuate your comfort and productivity, the PC-12 NG features a flat floor (unlike many with a dropped center aisle), a fully enclosed flushing lavatory and a baggage area that you can access in flight.

PC-12 NG ECONOMICS When it comes to airplane economics, it’s sweet to be single. Acquisition, operating, and maintenance costs, along with residual value, are all key factors in how an airplane really affects the bottom line. Purchasing an airplane with one sophisticated reliable turbine engine is less expensive all around. A PC-12 NG is less than 1/2 the cost of a jet with a similar sized cabin. In fact for less than the price of a share in a light jet you can own a PC-12 NG. After saving money on acquisition, you’ll be pleased to find the PC-12 NG is also more fuel efficient than a twin, leaving more money in your pocket every time you fill up. When it comes to scheduled engine maintenance, you can plan on half the cost. Swiss quality, luxury and an economic advantage. Maybe that’s why the PC-12 NG is consistently the top-selling business turboprop.
