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
- 2017First flight
- 2019 - Launched in 2019 as the third-generation PC-12
Pilatus unveiled the PC-12 NGX at NBAA-BACE in October 2019 and began deliveries in the second quarter of 2020. The NGX is the third major iteration after the original PC-12 (1994) and the PC-12 NG (2008). The PC-12 family had already accumulated 1,700+ units in 2019 and passed 2,000 deliveries in 2023, an absolute bestseller in the pressurized single-engine turboprop category, with more units than the TBM 700/850/910/930/940/960 combined.

Brazil Fleet
The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is an 11-seat (pilot included) single-engine turboprop with a 1,803 nm range and a 290 kt cruise speed, the third generation of the PC-12, now out of production (the page marks the end of production in 2025). 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 Pilatus, the NGX was unveiled on 21 Oct 2019 at NBAA-BACE, and the first production aircraft shown there already had EASA and FAA certification; Pilatus planned the first deliveries for Q2 2020. The manufacturer listed as new features an engine with electronic engine and propeller control, autothrottle, a redesigned cabin and the ACE flight deck, inspired by the PC-24. At the time, Pilatus counted more than 1,700 PC-12s sold.
Out of production, the model is bought pre-owned. The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Largest cabin in the single-engine turboprop category
Cabin 1.52m wide, 1.47m high and 5.16m long, significantly larger than the TBM 960 (1.21m wide) and the Piper M600 (1.17m wide). With an enclosed rear lavatory, executive-jet-style reclining club seating and large windows (the NGX increased them by 10% over the NG), it offers a light-jet-style cabin experience on a turboprop platform that is cheaper to operate.
PT6E-67XP with FADEC and Auto-Throttle
The PT6E-67XP engine is the FADEC version of the PT6A-67P of the PC-12 NG, with digital electronic engine and propeller control, Auto-Throttle integrated into the Honeywell SmartView and predictive telemetry via FAST. Compared with the previous NG, the NGX has superior dispatch reliability, data-based maintenance (engine condition trend monitoring) and reduced pilot workload in all phases of flight.
Unmatched versatility: cargo, medevac, combi, military
The large side cargo door (1.35m x 1.32m) and modular interior allow quick-change configuration between executive, cargo, medevac, combi (passengers + cargo) or military patrol. Typical operators: utility companies (PlaneSense fractional, Nicholas Air), the Australian Royal Flying Doctor Service, the Swiss Air Force (PC-12 Spectre), and farmers/miners at remote destinations with unpaved runways.
Certified for unpaved runways
The PC-12 is certified for operation on gravel, packed dirt and compacted grass runways, a rare capability in pressurized single-engine aircraft. Reinforced landing gear, anti-FOD deflectors and protective propeller geometry shield the engine from debris. On farms in the Brazilian interior, African lodges, Texas ranches and operations in Australia, it is often the only pressurized turboprop capable of landing.
Limitations
Slower than the TBM 960 (290 vs 330 kt)
The PC-12 NGX cruises at up to 290 kt (maximum cruise speed), while the TBM 960 reaches 330 kt in normal cruise. On 1,500 nm missions the difference is ~30-45 minutes of extra flight time in the TBM's favor. Pilatus prioritizes payload + range + cabin; Daher prioritizes speed. For long-haul missions with 6+ passengers and full baggage, the NGX wins; for quick missions with 2-4 occupants, the TBM 960 wins.
Curiosities
More than 2,000 PC-12 units produced since 1994
In May 2023 Pilatus celebrated the delivery of the 2,000th unit of the PC-12 family, the first pressurized single-engine turboprop to reach that mark. The production line in Stans, Switzerland, operates with a backlog of 2-3 years and a pace of ~80 units/year. Notable operators: PlaneSense (largest fleet in the world with 50+ PC-12s in fractional), Nicholas Air, JetSuite, and hundreds of private operators.
