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.

History
- 2008FAA certification
- 2008 - Pilatus PC-12 NG: the best-selling pressurized single-engine turboprop
The original PC-12 flew in 1991 and the NG (Next Generation) version was launched in 2008 with Honeywell Apex avionics and a 1,200 shp PT6A-67P engine. In 2020 it was succeeded by the PC-12 NGX. The PC-12 family has accumulated more than 1,900 deliveries worldwide, a record for a pressurized single-engine turboprop.
- 2020End of production
- 2023 - 1,900+ units delivered: best-selling pressurized single-engine turboprop
The PC-12 family passed 1,900 deliveries in 2023, remaining the best-selling pressurized single-engine turboprop in history, with more than 9 million cumulative flight hours worldwide.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Pressurized to FL300: the only single-engine in its class at that ceiling
The PC-12 NG operates pressurized up to FL300 (~9,000 m), the only single-engine turboprop in its class with this capability. It lets you fly above typical weather and turbulence, with comfort comparable to light jets on medium missions.
Pilatus PC-12 NG spec sheet
5.1 m cabin length: roomier than the earlier PC-12
The NG cabin is ~5.1 m long, 1.52 m wide and 1.47 m high, with space for 6-9 PAX in executive or cargo configuration. Combined with a 1.35x1.32 m rear cargo door, it offers rare versatility.
Limitations
Single-engine: limited acceptance in RBAC 135 night and severe IFR
Despite the proven reliability of the PT6A, regulations in some countries and charter companies restrict single-engine operation in severe IFR, at night over water or in remote areas. In Brazil it is permitted under RBAC 135 (Brazil's Part 135), but the conservative corporate market prefers twin-engine.

Curiosities
PlaneSense: the world's largest PC-12 fleet with a fractional model
PlaneSense (New Hampshire, USA) operates more than 50 PC-12s in a fractional model dedicated to the type since 1995, proving that a single-engine turboprop can sustain a long-term fractional business, alongside NetJets' jets.
