Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

The Pilatus PC-12 is a single-engine turboprop with a 1,803 nm range, in production since 1994. The up-to-date RAB-ANAC registration count, summed across the variants of the PC-12 NG family, is in the Brazil Fleet section of this page, and the breakdown by status is in the model's Analytics.
According to the EASA type certificate data sheet (TCDS EASA.A.089, issue 11, of 7 Jul 2025), the Swiss authority issued the PC-12 type certificate on 30 Mar 1994 and the PC-12/45 certificate on 4 Jun 1996. The data sheet describes a large single-engine multipurpose turboprop with a pressurized cabin that converts from passengers to cargo, retractable landing gear suited to grass and unprepared strips, and protection for flight into known icing conditions. The engine is a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67B rated at 1,200 shp for takeoff, and maximum capacity is 9 passengers, excluding the pilot seats. The same data sheet covers the PC-12/47, PC-12/47E and PC-12/47G versions.
