BIGGER

The PC-12 NGX, the third generation of aircraft designed on the PC-12 airframe, packs some extra power under the hood thanks to a newly crafted Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6E-67XP turboprop engine that pumps out 10 percent more power, upping the airplane’s maximum cruise speed by 5 knots true air speed (ktas) to 290 ktas. The new engine comes equipped with the first dual-channel integrated electronic propeller and engine control system, including full authority digital engine control (FADEC), making it a worldwide leader in its market segment.

BOLDER

Passengers will rave about their travel experience after flying on the new PC-12 NGX thanks in large part to a cabin makeover that features hand-stitched European leather, exclusive hardwood cabinets and an exacting attention to detail throughout. Your personal style will be on display in the cabin where you can choose from six different eye-catching interiors created by the expert artisans at BMW Designworks.

Passengers will certainly appreciate the significantly quieter cabin, which comes courtesy of the propeller’s new low-speed mode. Plus, the PC-12 NGX can be equipped with Wi-Fi, entertainment and connectivity technology, so passengers can kick back and enjoy the ride, or jump right into conducting business.

No makeover would be complete without adding more legroom and headroom. Guests will appreciate how a reimagined headliner provides additional headspace and an upgraded air cooling system keeps them comfortable throughout the flight. The fully reclining executive seats come with taller backs and are arranged to allow greater freedom of movement within the cabin.

The design team added a bold touch based on lessons learned from the Pilatus PC-24. The PC-12 NGX features 10 percent larger cabin windows, allowing more outside light to stream into the cabin.

BETTER

The PC-12 NGX’s avionics are smarter and more intuitive than ever before continuing the Pilatus tradition of putting safety first. The aircraft’s designers took another page out of the PC-24’s playbook, adding Honeywell’s Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE™) to the aircraft. The PC-12 NGX includes an impressive lineup of new technologies, including an emergency descent mode, and a crew alerting system that automatically displays the appropriate electronic checklist on the multi-function display. The digital auto throttle reduces the pilot’s workload, improving safety and ensuring automatic power optimization throughout every flight. Touchscreen controls introduce another level of sophistication to the NGX’s dynamic flight deck.

The PC-12’s legacy for low operating costs, a proven safety record and high residual values continues to grow with the NGX. In addition to improving the avionics, Pilatus also found ways to improve the efficiency of their new aircraft. The PC-12 NG set a high standard, with operating costs that were an impressive 30 to 60 percent lower than comparable twin engine jets or other turboprops. The NGX adds to the overall operating cost savings by doubling the flight time required before scheduled maintenance to 600 hours, and lengthening the time between overhauls from 3,500 to 5,000 hours.

Time Back in Your Day

Think of the PC-12 NGX as your office in the sky. When you own the aircraft, you set the timetable and the destinations, bypassing the hassles of busy commercial airports and rigid flight schedules set by airlines. The versatile PC-12 NGX gets you in and out of hard-to-reach locales with ease, bringing you closer to meetings or job sites, thus saving you time, money and stress.

Another major benefit of ownership is creating more time to be with your family. You’ll put hours back in your day by working without interruptions between business stops. And should the opportunity arise to mix business and pleasure, the PC-12 NGX has plenty of room for family and friends to tag along in style. Your loved ones will cruise safely high above inclement weather, thanks to a fully pressurized cabin.
