Pilatus PC-12: Complete Specs, Performance, and Buyer's Guide (2026)
The Pilatus PC-12, in production since 1991, is the iconic single-engine pressurized turboprop manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft of Stans, Switzerland - and the world's most successful single-engine business turboprop. The PC-12 was announced in October 1989 at the annual convention of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), with prior development under high levels of secrecy. The two prototypes were completed May 1, 1991, with first flight on May 31, 1991. Following a wing redesign (increased wingspan and added winglets to meet performance guarantees), the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation issued type certification on March 30, 1994, with FAA certification on July 15, 1994. The 2,000th PC-12 was delivered in May 2023. Designed as a high-performance utility aircraft incorporating a large aft cargo door in addition to the main passenger door, the PC-12 is uniquely capable of operating from short paved or unpaved (grass strip) runways while delivering pressurized cabin comfort, modern Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A turboprop reliability, and exceptional value retention (80-85% of selling price after 10 years given average use - better than comparable turboprop offerings). Variants: Original PC-12 (CFE738-1B engine, 1991-1996), PC-12/45 (PT6A-67B, 1996-2008), PC-12 NG (PT6A-67P, 2008-2020), PC-12 NGX (PT6E-67XP, 2020-2025), and PC-12 PRO (latest, announced March 14, 2025, FAA + EASA certified, deliveries beginning late Summer/early Fall 2025). The PC-12 PRO introduces the long-awaited Garmin G3000 Prime Flight Deck (replacing Honeywell Apex on NGX/NG), Garmin Emergency Autoland (industry-first for single-engine turboprop), Smart Glide, Electronic Stability, BMW Designworks cabin, and 100-pound useful load increase. Powered by the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67P (or PT6E-67XP on NGX/PRO) engine, the PC-12 delivers 280-290 knots max cruise (322-333 mph), 1,340-1,803 nautical miles of range, 30,000 ft service ceiling, and 2,236 lb max payload. The cabin features 16.3 ft length, 5.1 ft width, 4.9 ft (1.50 m) height, and 10% more cabin volume than King Air 250. The PC-12 PRO base price (typically equipped): $6.8M. Pre-owned PC-12 NGX: $5.395M-$8.15M (Guardian Jet, 2020-2025 models). Used original PC-12s start at around $4M.
For operators wanting the world's most successful single-engine business turboprop with single-pilot operation, pressurized cabin comfort, modern Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A reliability, exceptional value retention, ability to operate from short paved or unpaved runways, and (with the new PC-12 PRO) Garmin Emergency Autoland and modern G3000 Prime avionics, the PC-12 represents Pilatus's flagship single-engine turboprop platform.

Aircraft maintenance is coordinated through manufacturer-authorized service centers, and aircraft refurbishment programs (interior, paint, avionics, connectivity) are managed end-to-end so the Pilatus PC-12 retains residual value over its operating life.
Fractional jet programs are available for Pilatus PC-12-class travelers who want guaranteed access without sole ownership. Aircraft lease and aircraft leasing arrangements (operating, finance, dry, wet) are structured to match the operator's hours, geography, and balance sheet. The Pilatus PC-12 fits naturally into all of these structures, and Quantum Jets handles the structuring, documentation, and lifecycle service so the owner can focus on flying.
If you are evaluating a Pilatus PC-12 for purchase, charter, lease, fractional access, management, refurbishment, or sale, talk to a Quantum Jets broker for a custom market scan and pre-buy diligence.
