Aircraft Features
Range and Performance
The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX delivers a maximum range of about 3 269 km (1 765 NM) at long‑range cruise, reaching speeds of up to 537 km/h (290 KTAS). That makes nonstop flights such as London to Athens or New York to Dallas feasible, offering flexibility and convenience—especially to smaller airports—with a single‑engine, turboprop efficiency that benefits passenger comfort.
Cabin Comfort and Configuration
The PC‑12 NGX cabin seats up to nine passengers and offers executive layouts, plus options for cargo combi or air‑ambulance configurations. It provides redesigned executive seating, 10 % larger windows, advanced connectivity, reduced noise and extended maintenance intervals—all within a versatile and comfortable interior crafted in partnership with BMW Designworks.
Onboard Amenities
The PC‑12 NGX interior offers executive‑style seating by BMW Designworks with full‑recline, expanded headroom, larger windows (10 % more than the predecessor), improved cabin cooling, and reduced noise. A fully enclosed lavatory and accessible, pressurised baggage hold add practicality to its refined comfort.
Technology and Flight Deck
The PC‑12 NGX employs the Honeywell Primus Apex avionics suite with intuitive interface, ADS‑B In traffic, and touch‑panel controls for system navigation, enhancing single‑pilot ease, situational awareness and safety. Its Pratt & Whitney PT6E engine with FADEC reduces cabin noise and supports reliable performance.
Pilatus PC-12 NGX Certification
The original PC‑12 had its first flight on 31 May 1991 and received Swiss (FOCA) certification on 30 March 1994.
