The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is the latest version of Pilatus' flagship single-engine turboprop, incorporating performance, technology, and cabin upgrades over its predecessors, the PC-12 NG and PC-12. Designed for both rugged operations and business-class travel, the PC-12 NGX offers the versatility to land on short, unpaved runways and transport passengers in comfort across long distances. With its combination of reliability, range, and enhanced features, the PC-12 NGX is widely popular in corporate aviation, air ambulance services, and cargo transport. The PT6E-67XP engine powers the PC-12 NGX, delivering 1,200 shaft horsepower and allowing a maximum cruise speed of 290 knots (333 mph). A new thrust management system and digital engine control also improve fuel efficiency and pilot ease-of-use. With a range of up to 1,803 nautical miles, the PC-12 NGX can handle both regional and long-range missions while maintaining strong STOL capabilities. The aircraft also boasts a maximum payload of 2,236 pounds, making it ideal for diverse mission profiles that require both cargo and passenger configurations. The PC-12 NGX cabin features upgraded executive interior options with amenities that include larger windows, a quieter cabin environment, and seats inspired by the Pilatus PC-24 jet for enhanced comfort. The cabin seats up to 10 passengers and can be configured for either a fully executive layout or mixed-use for cargo and passenger transportation. New, larger windows improve passenger views and bring more natural light into the cabin, enhancing comfort during extended flights. Equipped with the Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE™) based on the Honeywell Primus Apex system, the PC-12 NGX includes a digital autothrottle, synthetic vision, and a touchscreen avionics interface, which reduce pilot workload and improve safety. The system’s intuitive layout supports single-pilot operation, which makes the PC-12 NGX suitable for private owners and charter operators alike. Additionally, the ACE™ suite enhances situational awareness and operational safety, especially in adverse weather conditions or complex airspace. As of Q2 2024, the list price of the PC-12 NGX is $6,200,000.

- Is the Pilatus PC 12 NG a safe aircraft to charter?
