Design and Powerplant
- Engine: One Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6E-67XP turboprop engine (NGX model).
- Power Output: Flat-rated to 895 kW (1,200 shp). The PT6 is famous for its reliability and power-to-weight ratio.
- Construction: Conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane with retractable tricycle landing gear.
- Fuselage Feature: The PC-12 is instantly recognizable for its large, aft cargo door (1.35 m x 1.32 m), which facilitates the loading of oversized cargo, stretchers, or palletized goods.
- Cockpit (NGX): Features the modern Honeywell Epic 2.0 integrated avionics system, offering a digital, glass cockpit experience with advanced safety features.
Performance and Safety
- Maximum Cruise Speed: 537 km/h (290 knots) at 20,000 ft.
- Maximum Range: Approximately 3,339 km (1,803 nautical miles) with reserves.
- Service Ceiling: 9,144 m (30,000 ft).
- Short Field Capability: Renowned for excellent Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) performance, requiring less than 800 meters (2,600 ft) to clear a 50 ft obstacle.
- Single-Engine Safety: The PC-12’s single-engine configuration is offset by the PT6’s historically low in-flight shutdown rate, making it a very safe aircraft, often operating under single-engine IFR rules comparable to twins.
