About this aircraft
The PC-12 NG updates the classic PC-12 with a flat-panel cockpit, a more powerful PT6, and cabin refinements—the generation that prepared the market for today's NGX.
It kept the type's go-anywhere reputation while cutting pilot workload versus steam-gauge classics, and remains extremely common in charter and owner fleets. Passengers still get the large cargo door and short-strip access that define Pilatus.
Modern PC-12 flying without requiring the newest NGX badge on the booking.
