About the Pilatus PC-12

The Pilatus PC-12 is a Swiss-built single-engine turboprop that has become the world's best-selling pressurized single since its 1994 certification, combining executive transport comfort with rugged short-field capability. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67 producing 1,200 shaft horsepower, the PC-12 carries up to nine passengers at 280 knots cruise over 1,800 nautical miles, operating from runways as short as 2,500 feet and climbing directly to FL300. Its unpressurized cargo door, reinforced floor, and go-anywhere reliability have made it equally popular with air ambulance operators, freight haulers, and remote-area charter services from the Australian outback to Alaskan bush strips.

The type's versatility shows in its customer base: roughly half serve corporate flight departments, while the remainder split between special missions (medevac, skydiving, surveillance) and regional passenger work. Pilatus has delivered over 1,900 airframes across three generations—the original PC-12, the refined PC-12 NG (2008), and the current PC-12 NGX (2019) with advanced avionics and a five-blade composite propeller. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
