The new Pilatus PC-12 Pro
Pilatus PC-12 PRO: the single-engine aircraft of the future has landed. Pilatus has once again redefined the concept of single-engine aviation with the new PC-12 PRO, an aircraft that brings with it an extraordinary combination of advanced technology, enhanced safety and refined design. This model represents a radical evolution, while keeping intact the essence that has made the PC-12 a benchmark in the sector. With a completely redesigned cockpit, new safety features and a redesigned interior for maximum comfort, the PC-12 PRO is the most advanced single-engine in its class.

At the heart of this revolution is the new Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE), based on the Garmin G3000 PRIME system. Pilatus has customized the entire avionics suite to provide pilots with a smoother and more intuitive flight experience . Three large, high-resolution touchscreen displays, supported by two secondary displays, offer twice the processing capacity and four times the RAM memory of the previous version. The Pilatus-exclusive Cursor Control Device allows for even more intuitive handling, while the improved external visibility, achieved by eliminating the "Direct Vision" window frame, ensures optimal control in all flight conditions. The controls have also been updated, with ergonomic yokes inspired by those of the PC-24 jet, for an even more comfortable piloting experience.

But the real revolution of the PC-12 PRO lies in the advanced security features. Garmin's Autoland system is one of the most important innovations: in an emergency, the aircraft is able to land autonomously, ensuring maximum protection for pilots and passengers. In addition to this technology, there are additional safety systems, such as Electronic Stability and Protection, which helps maintain control of the aircraft at any stage of flight, and an enhanced weather radar, equipped with a new, larger antenna that improves the pilot's situational awareness.

On-board comfort has been completely redesigned, with a cabin that combines modern design and timeless refinement. The precious materials, the finishes with attention to the smallest details and the increased storage capacity offer a welcoming and functional environment. The new color palettes, inspired by the digital world, give the PC-12 PRO a futuristic look, with dynamic lines and high-tech details that make it one of a kind.

In addition to aesthetics and technology, Pilatus has paid particular attention to efficiency and sustainability. The PC-12 PRO is equipped with the latest version of the legendary Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engine, considered the most reliable ever produced in aviation history. With more than 60,000 engines in service and more than 400 million flight hours accumulated, this engine is a guarantee of excellent performance and safety. The Electronic Propeller and Engine Control System (EPECS) optimises fuel consumption, reduces CO₂ emissions and makes the flight experience quieter and more comfortable. In addition, the PC-12 PRO is ready for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) use, offering a greener alternative without compromising performance.
The first deliveries of the PC-12 PRO are scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025, marking the beginning of a new era for single-engine aviation. With this evolution, Pilatus has redefined standards, creating an aircraft that combines technology, safety and cutting-edge design. The future of private flying is already here, and the PC-12 PRO is ready to take flight.
