Why should you take this rating?
There are many reasons why you should invest in a SET (Single Engine Turbine) class rating on the PC-12. The PC-12 is a state-of-the-art aircraft with an ever-increasing range of applications.
Companies and even private operators recognize the added value of the PC-12:
- The PC-12 can use runways as short as 758 meters at maximum weight and even operate on grass, gravel runways.
- This flexibility, combined with a range of up to 3,300 km, results in a much wider operational envelope than most business jets.
- The PC-12 NG offers avionics technology inspired by business jets, tailored for single-pilot operations.
- More than 1700 PC-12’s and over seven million hours flown safely represent Pratt & Whitney Canada’s highly reliable PT6 engine. The PC-12 has a safety record on the same level as that of twin-engine business jets.
- The PC-12 can be operated in “single pilot” or “multi pilot” operations.
