In a single-engine aircraft, a proven engine is the most important component. Fortunately, the PC-12 PRO is equipped with the latest version of the most reliable aircraft power plant ever produced – the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6. With over 60,000 engines in service and over 400 million flight hours, the PT6 family of engines has an unrivalled safety record. The PT6 engine has already been thoroughly tested in over eleven million flight hours in the PC-12.
Our confidence in the PT6 E-Series engine is such that it features a 5,000 hour overhaul interval. When it comes to single-engine turboprop aircraft, it’s a must to trust the proven leaders – Pilatus and Pratt & Whitney Canada.
In combination with the fully automatic electronic engine and propeller control system (EPECS), the digital thrust control, or “Autothrottle System”, reduces the pilot’s workload, optimizes performance, increases fuel efficiency, ensures a quieter flying experience and protects against engine overlimit events.
The PC-12 PRO also generates fewer CO2 emissions and is additionally ready for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), enabling a greener future without sacrificing performance.
