First Flight REVIEW | BRAND NEW Pilatus PC-12 NGX

[@lmjacob115]

Believe me, this channel is going to one of the best aviation channels in the future

[@PropClear]

Appreciate so much Aviax! Hope you'll be right with your statement 🙂

[@Factory400]

The PC12 is genius engineering. All airplanes are a compromise of factors - size, weight, speed, range, payload, creature comforts, cost, etc, etc, etc..... This bird balances those so perfectly. It feels like no compromises at all.

[@PropClear]

fully agree. you can takeoff at almost every airfield, even with 8 pax and full tanks

[@ParadigmUnkn0wn]

Even more so with the PC-24.

[@12345fowler]

Good on ya for noticing it after almost 25 years after it was designed.

[@russnurse2b807]

If I ever win the lottery or get rich the Pilatus PC-12NGX will be the plane I buy.

[@BondJFK]

In either way you can't do that, If you wants buy a private jet you should be a business man with billions in revenu so you can buy it to save tax

[@russnurse2b807]

@@BondJFK true

[@eerokoskinen6936]

Fr first invest some and then buy a pc12

[@russnurse2b807]

@@eerokoskinen6936 Definitely! Most of it will be invested. I'll use the interest to purchase the plane.

[@Breenild]

I guess you need to win several lotteries to buy and operate a PC-12. I think it'll cost about 7 million euro to buy it, and many people say 10% per year, which is 700.000 euro operating cost per year!

I was just in Switzerland and drove from Montreux to Gstaad and then back to Montreux via a different route. After walking around the town and experiencing the long drive (3 hours from Zurich), I can see why they are successful. This drive would be much longer in the winter, but the flight time the same. Looking for more videos of the company.

[@bernardanderson3758]

Sounds like a company to flying for and especially in brand new aircraft

[@PropClear]

go for it 😎👨🏻‍✈️👌🏼👍🏼

[@mrMankx]

What a nice pilot, great looking plane, video 10/10.🛩💚

[@thinkingai6017]

Amazing video. I heard turbulence is rough on these smaller planes (as expected), did you experience any turbulence, if so how was it?

[@PropClear]

Thank you. Glad you liked the video. We flew the PC-12 several times and yes, compared to Airliners you can feel the turbulences much more. So you better hold your champagne glass if you fly trough turbulent air :-) Nevertheless, it's still very comfortable and you always feel safe.

[@d-32]

Great video as always👏

[@PropClear]

Thanks Dylan - more to come 😛

[@ricksteelcustoms3196]

They copied "The A-Team's" Black gun metal gray/silver with red stripe paint Scheme, VERY cool! Even B.A. Baracus "i ain't gettin on no plane" would be proud to fly on that plane..............

[@Brother-Louis]

Great review. Can you please give some insight as to choosing the Phenom 300 and not the PC-24 for a small family charter company.

[@bernardanderson3758]

The PC-12 NGX is one nice single pilot Turbo Prop Aircraft

[@PropClear]

indeed!

[@smartworldspace]

good aviation and high engineering work..

[@blaketaylor619]

Hey, how did you order a brand new pc 12 NGX with custom options? Thanks =)

[@Murat-rl6sw]

Well they need to verify your bank account to see if you are financial secure. If your bank acct amount is significant then the manufacturer will talk to you.

[@vonw.3294]

I would love to fly that PC-12 for that company, If only they were in the states! 😩

[@alanendurace]

Excellent and interesting video! 8:37 He said it's possible to fly commercially in club with a PPL? this seems highly unusual. Standard Practice is a PPL does not allow for commercial operations, including cargo flights, even within a flying club system. Commercial operations require a CPL and compliance with AOC requirements. Can you shed some light on this?

[@Calxero]

good music choice

[@Patriotsoul]

You need to do a video with the Piaggio Avanti Evo.

[@PropClear]

We would absolutely love to! :D

[@Patriotsoul]

@@PropClear It would be nice to know Max range with full passengers, max altitude, short field landing and take off information and a look at storage capacity would be AWESOME!!

[@ahmadhayat6314]

Can it fly 2250 nautical miles with full tanks without refueling stop?

[@PropClear]

Pilatus says on their website, that the max range of the pc-12 ngx is 1803nm

[@charlesreed3672]

Be real be safe. 1,500 is the max I would push it.

[@mikentx57]

When asking can it go 2250nm or even 1500nm. You also need to consider what is YOUR endurance as a pilot or passenger. At 270kts cruise speed 1500nm is over 5 hours in the air and 2250nm would be over 8 hours. Both are long times to be sitting in a aircraft this size behind a turboprop engine. PC-12 pilots I have talked to say that really you will want to try to limit your flights to 3 hours.

[@devonopdendries7722]

​@@mikentx57 true. My longest flight was 4.2 hours, and it sucked. The seats are terrible for that length of time.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

@@PropClear I have a better chance of Pilatus giving me one than winning the lottery 😂

[@charlesreed3672]

You can own it. You just have to be patient. I bought mine at a Government Auction. I made the minimum bid of $120,000.00 and no one else bid. It had no passenger seats but I found them in Florida for $600.00. I repainted her and upgraded the systems.

[@arthurbrumagem3844]

@@charlesreed3672 wow, awesome

[@olivergarcia2304]

How funny to listen to two Swiss Germans speaking English with each other in their heavy Schwiitzerdütschi Accents. This is my dream plane. But it costs 8 / 9 million....hmmm... I guess I'll just keep on dreamin'

[@ubermenschen3636]

Why buy a PC12 when you can buy the Piaggio P180 which is faster, higher ceiling, more seats, more spacious, more efficient, and lower interior noise.

[@PropClear]

We haven’t had the chance to fly a P180 yet but would love to review it as well. But for many customers the cargo door and the PC-12´s performance on short and unpaved strips are crucial.

[@GreatDataVideos]

One thing that the man mentioned was the slower speeds on landing. It looks like the Piaggo's minimum control speed is 100 kts.

[@devonopdendries7722]

The Piaggio would suck on shorter soft/field runways, plus it doesn't handle cargo as well. It's a different aircraft for a different purpose. Both are great planes in their respective roles.

[@misham6547]

It's a twin engine meaning it's way more expensive to maintain

[@Calxero]

good one - let's see if we can make a comparison soon :-)
