Pilatus Refreshes the PC-12 Family of Aircraft with the New PC-12 NGX Model - AIN

I've heard of guys buying a wrecked plane fuselage, and building the flight simulator of their dreams out of it, with monitors in the windscreen. You can also get into legal, no license flying with a single seat ultralight in the United States for $10,000.

[@heymartini6913]

I used to be an civilian A&P Mech on a army U21 that had PT6's on it and they are a high torque engine and very durable, one of the fun jobs was setting the Z Gap for mating the props in sync. I was also in on tearing the the PT6 apart at the C flang and grinding the veins down due to it having a hot start problem twice. With this airplane having an auto prop governor on it and a one button for start that would eliminate human error for both of the problem we used to have with these engines (IMPRESSIVE) Loving this plain already!!!

[@bryanrendleman2001]

@Wave Dancer Yes by Pratt and Whitney and then Honeywell integrated the software with the engine. BMW interior upgrade so Pilates didn't change or upgrade anything.

Would love to see this in the Upcoming Microsoft flight Simulator 2020. Just a huge fan of the PC12.

[@mikentx57]

Brandon Aviation HD - Not the same thing really. The TBM is more comparable to a Piper M600. PC-12s have a true aisle cabin configuration. This is why I would much prefer to have a PC-12 over a TBM.

I fly a 2018 PC-12NG and they come with Bose A20 headsets which are noise cancellation. Besides, it is not that loud, to begin with.

[@ditirojimmysegang3009]

If they could add or re-route that exhaust to be a single port away from the exits to allow for hot-turn-arounds that thing would topple the Caravan in my home country....

[@Purlee100]

The exhaust adds a considerable amount of thrust to the aircraft, about the equivalent of 75 shaft hp at cruise, so they probably want to keep the thrust symmetrical.

[@hash2all]

@@Purlee100 The thrust on a turboprop consist mainly on the propeller, to be honest the exhaust provides zero thrust in this aircraft

[@Purlee100]

Well my many thousands of flying hours with PT6s must be wrong then? Even Pilatus agree with me, that's why they point the exhaust rearward!

the wrong plane for Africa by far..

[@2011blueman]

Hopefully you're talking about a non-profit NGO funded, or government funded, service. If not, good luck with that because an air ambulance service in East and Central Africa simply can't be a profitable venture.

Whoever gave this a thumbs down is, well, ignorant. This is the Patek Phillipe of turboprops.

[@raidazz1]

[@mikentx57]

Question for those that know about the auto throttle. Sometimes when you want to descend and slow up fast. You reduce your throttle and have the propeller in a low pitch so that those big five blades work as an air brake. Other times you want to slowly descend but not slow up that much so you leave the propeller in a higher pitch. With the auto throttle how do you accomplish this?

[@beardedbarnstormer9577]

its pretty much the same how its done now, there never was a separate prop lever just fuel condition, not really how turbines work...

I've seen some single pilot aircraft (Cirrus) that have autoland capability. If this aircraft doesn't have it, it should.

if i am not wrong the new autoland feature is introduced by garmin and this has a honeywell avionics in it, so it could be sometime before it makes it's way here.

[@MrCucamonga1]

Nice aircraft. However, I still think the Celera 500L is going to turn the industry on its head once it's released. Everyone talks about the Celera's ugly look. I think it looks fine. Besides, who cares what it looks like when it's cruising at over 400Kts and can go over 4,000Nmls on a single tank with 7 passengers? Private transporters and airlines will all be switching over because of the low cost to operate. Those who refuse to switch over to the Celera or similar aircraft will go out of business simply for the cost to operate.

Sorry, but in this case, much to much noise in the background!

Well the Honda HA-420's range is 800km less than the PC-12's. Plus, a lot more runway required to take off. And also, it can't land and take off on unpaved runways. So i do see how the PC-12 can be more attractive to a lot of people
