Pilot Review by Aviation Now for Pilatus PC-12

Aviation Now has a detailed pilot's report by Fred George on the new Pilatus PC-12/47.  It is a great read.  Some take-a-ways:

  • Range with full tanks and 7 passengers is 1,450 nm
  • Main rival is the Raytheon King Air B200
  • Standard integrated GPS is the Honeywell KLN90B but you can upgrade to the Garmin GNS530/430
  • Sales continue to be brisk, and resale market profitable. A total 80 units sold in 2005.  Some 600 have been sold since introduction of this model.

Here is the Pilatus PC-12 product page.
