About The Series

Certified for IFR single-pilot operations, this aircraft has alwys had a fair amount of interest in it due to the fact its relatively easy to learn how to fly and it makes a great starting place for newer pilots.

Although we mentioned that the company hit its peak in the 1950s, they produced the PC-12 at the relatively later period of the 80s, finally being ready to fly by 1991. It went through some minor changes prior to being sky-worthy, and in that time eventually became a hugely useful part of the history of the company.

Ever since it' release, really, the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Australia were key users of the aircraft and, to this day, remain it's most popular user. With over 1,300 of these aircraft in the skies until now, it's certainly become a hugely popular part of the aircraft world in Australia and various other aircraft; it's a real key part of the fleet of Pilatus aircraft that have been produced beyond the 50s.
