With over 1,300 Pilatus PC12s sold, it has become the best-selling single-engine turbo prop plane in the world. It’s also one of the few pressurized turboprop planes capable of operating from tough landing strips, making it a great choice for those flying into less developed airports or destinations.
The PC12’s reliability and versatility makes it a great choice for all kinds of missions, and has been routinely used for air ambulance, staff transport, military, and surveillance in addition to its uses as a private charter.
Manufactured in Switzerland since 1991, the Pilatus PC12 uses the Pratt & Whitney PT6 engine, a reliable and robust choice. A single-engine plane also provides many benefits, including a lower fuel requirement and better aerodynamics, making the Pilatus PC12 charter a smart choice for eco-conscious travelers.
The Pilatus PC12’s large cabin provides several different options for seat layouts, including executive seating for six, or a four-seat passenger-cargo combination layout. Even without this layout, the plane provides ample storage space with a 40-cubic-foot internal baggage area.
The cabin of the plane is also very aesthetically pleasing, thanks to Pilatus’ collaboration with BMW’s Designworks department. Outfitted in leather and fine wood veneers, the plane’s cabin is akin to that of a luxury car. You’ll also find an enclosed lavatory in the aircraft.
The plane’s 1,200 shaft-horsepower rating proves its robust strength and reliability. Additionally, dual angle-of-attack sensors near the wingtips help counteract stall and spin conditions by forcing the stick forwards ahead of potential stalls. The Pilatus PC12 also boasts an exceptionally low accident rate of just 0.005%, ensuring peace of mind when you charter a Pilatus PC12.
The same design features found in the cabin carry through to the cockpit of the Pilatus PC12. Designed with ease of use in mind, the cockpit is equipped with Honeywell Primus Apex avionics. It also includes primary flight displays, multi-function displays, and 3D renderings of terrain. Although the plane can be operated by just one pilot, JetLevel maintains a policy of two pilots per flight to enhance safety during your charter.
