Know which model you are choosing

The model and its relatives

PC-12

Pilatus introduced the PC-12 in 1994 as a single-engine turboprop with a flat cabin floor and flexible seating. The large side door made passenger and cargo arrangements easier to combine.

PC-12 NG

The PC-12 NG offers a flat-floor cabin, a large loading door and accessible baggage. It suits regional travel for families or small groups with sports equipment.

PC-12 NGX

A single-engine turboprop with a large cargo door, flexible seating and access to airports that may not suit a larger jet.

Model historyWhere it began and how it evolved

Pilatus applied its experience with practical utility aircraft to a pressurised business turboprop. The PC-12’s large side cargo door was part of that original brief, giving the same airframe roles in private travel, cargo and medical transport. Its versatility was designed in from the start.

Pilatus introduced the PC-12 in 1994 as a single-engine turboprop with a flat cabin floor and flexible seating. The large side door made passenger and cargo arrangements easier to combine.

Early -41 and -45 aircraft had lower weight limits. The figures here use the later legacy -47 where applicable; the NG that followed in 2008 brought a different engine and cockpit.

Before you choose

Can I stand upright in the cabin?

The cabin is lower than 180 cm, so a person of that height cannot stand fully upright. The scaled illustration shows the difference. Maximum cabin height: 1.45 m.

Will my aircraft have this exact interior?

Not necessarily. These photographs and the layout illustrate the model. We check the actual interior, seats and equipment when preparing your proposal.
