The PC12 is my dream machine. The SUV of the sky with the super reliable Pratt & Whitney PT6 out front.
I think the Pilatus pc-12 is probably my favorite turboprop as a newcomer to the flying community. Excellent craftsmanship
I am a 73 year old retired airline pilot and I was fortunate to find a job after the airlines flying the best turboprop ever, the Pilatus PC-12NG. This awesome airplane caused Beech to stop building the King Air 90 because my airplane has a bigger cabin, payload, range, and performance with only one engine instead of two. I flight plan at 270 knots at FL280 which are King Air 200 numbers. And there is no finer small turbine engine than the PT6. I have flown some 70 different airplanes over the past 57 years as an active pilot and feel that the PC-12NG is one of the best I have ever flown, next to the B-757 that is!
I don’t know much about airplanes but i can agree that PC-12 is the best turbo prop ever to ever. I once saw the start up video of it also damn that plane looks so easy to fly as well.
In my recent tour of Africa the most common popular bush plane we rode on commercially was the Cessna Caravan. The 14 seater version flew well, was very reliable but was kinda tight inside.
Nice video. I flew N342PE (the PC-12NG in the opening scene) when I was a charter pilot. Beautiful airplane!
I will buy pc12ng ......🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 India...
The Royal Flying Doctor Service (aeromedical) in Australia switched over to PC12's and Beech King Air B200's in mid 2000 from their C441, C404 and PA32-350's. The pilots love the PIlatus for it's versatility and payload capability. They often land on roadways and unimproved station strips at night and that's where the PC 12 type excels. In early 2019, they took possession of 3 PC24's, with 2 turbofan engines (high on the fuselage tail). The Pilatus PC-24 is a light business jet produced by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. Following the PC-12 single turboprop success, work on the jet started in 2007 for greater range and speed, keeping the rugged airfield capability.
In early 2019, The RFDS have so far received all of their 3 Pilatus PC-24 jets, which will be replacing their Hawker 800XP jet. They are based at Jandakot Airport (Perth Western Australia) and made a debut at the Avalon Air Show 2019. The PC-24 can fit 3 stretcher beds and 4 doctors. The aircraft can cruise at 45,000 feet (14,000 m) and halves the time of flight compared to the existing propeller driven fleet. The PC-24 can also operate out of paved and unpaved runways. The RFDS have purchase rights for 1 more aircraft.
Again, because these aircraft can operate out of marginal strips and are much faster, they are an ideal choice for aeromedical services.
Correction: PA-31-350 Navajo Chieftain
I chartered a PC-12 once. Absolutely amazing plane
Awwww, yes! Which turboprop should I buy today!
@Connor Jamie you're that type of the guy in school that just can't stop being a jerk even for a sec
This is the best aviation education channel. Not clickbaity, nor vague or even boring. Great job Mike!
I got a ride in a PC12 after I knocked myself silly coming off my motorcycle. The Royal Flying Doctor service fly them in outback australia. Great plane, great ride
They were designed by Pilatus in conjunction with the Royal Flying Doctor Service to be the ideal plane for outback medical service. The wing and the cargo door are designed so that there's room for an ambulance to back up to the door to transfer a patient . There's room inside for a medical team. It can land on outback rough strips.
People who are not from Australia may not understand why we have the RFDS. There are huge areas of the outback where the nearest hospital might be a couple of days drive away. Your nearest neighbour might be several hours away. In the wet season, a drive to the nearest hospital might have to wait for a couple of months. Most (all?) outback properties have landing strips. It makes sense to fly a medical team to them and fly the patient back to a hospital. It's like the outback version of an ambulance service (plus doctors) in more populated places.
If you think that the long nose looks a bit ugly, it's all to do with balance. The wing needs to be further forward to allow room for the ambulance. That means that the engine has to be even further forward than "normal" to balance the plane.
Thank you, Pilatus.
But the landing for the hospital wasn't so great cos you probably didn't walk away.
Being the PC12 and Piper M600 pilot i can say Pilatus is the best pressurised single engine turboprop. Airplane, capabilities, avionics , everything is much better then piper or TBM (except speed, but its not so big advantage of TBM compared to other things). G3000 is not so good in operation as it looks on videos or exhibition. TBM and M600 are really small planes, not very comfortable for this price , as well as hand piloting of PC12 is much easier and comfortable then piper or TBM. So, im agreed with your video. Its best SET airplanes now and PC12 is the best.
The Australian Royal Flying Doctor Service needed a smaller plane in addition to its workhorse King Air's. They needed a single turboprop that could be single piloted, carry everything you would need in an intensive care ambulance, have room for two stretcher cases, two paramedics and a doctor. It needed to have a range of over 2000 miles, have a cruise speed of 300knots, consume less than 100lt per hour, have stol capability on rough outback airstrips. A big order. The PC-12 was the only one that came close. (I have no relationship with Pilatus).
I love the Quest Kodiak. Their newest generation avionics suite is a full glass and extremely modern. The plane can also be ordered with just about any kind of interior configuration and trim level, some are luxurious. Its perfect for flying your family or friends to whatever regional getaways you have. It also has Pratt and Whitney's renowned PT6 turbine engine, which powers the overwhelming majority of both single and twin turboprops.
on a side note i remember the breaking bad scene where Gus is taking walt and jesse down to mexico, and it was a Quest Kodiak 100 that landed in the middle of the desert and got them.
The guy that designed the electrical system for the Kodiak was a professor at my school for awhile.
Who came up with this list. You cannot even compare these aircraft. The missions each are designed for are totally different. The PC 12 is versatile and can be outfitted several ways. It is a large aircraft. The TBM is the Ferrari of the sky, super sleek, elegant to the max, the most R&D of them all. Piper has been around but so what, the Meridian is pure Bovine Scat compared to even the old TBM's. I have actually flown these aircraft and know. I have flown several Cessna but have not flown the Caravan or the Kodiac, but longevity and variety of Cessna says something.
To be fair if this was just about the engine type then we should be seeing C-130s or Dash 8s or something too
PC-12 NG is my favorite!
I have flown a PC-12, such a docile aircraft to fly. If I ever win a big lottery it will be my go to aircraft and .maybe even a KingAir 350 😉😉
Not IF.....WHEN you win big on the lotto ))
Don't buy the Kingair 350 lol... maintenance is a nightmare.
Compare the two, Can the PC go 2200 mile before refueling?
I want Airbus A-350 1000!😇
I envy you, that’s such a great opportunity.
Hey yo yo yo bro, you missed the Canadian Beaver. When you are in a pinch and taking off short, the old'Canadian Beave will wrap around you like a tight buckskin glove to get you on your way.
Best sounding type of engine for a plane, Everytime a p/c21 comes over the house I know straight away it’s the RAAF roulettes
Best thing about the Pilatus PC-12 is that the exhaust pipes look like a mustache……..
And the air intake under the prop gives it a smiley face!
In the skies this afternoon in U.S. airspace, among the pressurized singles, there are 19 PA-46-350 Malibu Mirages pistons flying at about 21,000 ft on 21 gph at 249 mph. There are 18 P46-T-500 Malibu Mirage Meridians flying at 27,000 ft on 39 gph at 299 mph. There are 33 non-corporate or airline PC12's flying at 26,000 ft on 63 gph at 265 mph. There are 5 TBM 900 series flying at 30,000 ft on 72 gph at 371 mph. There are no Caravans or Quest Flights. but there are 45 Cessna Skyhawks flying at 7,500 ft on 8 gph at 127 mph. So in U.S. airspace, operating cost is King in the face of very good regional air service. Speed and the potty take a back seat to the King--the Cessna Skyhawk.
The PC-12 and PC-24 are the choices planes for the RFDS.
My dad used to work for an air emengrcy company in south africa he was not a pilot but an on board paramedic the flew the pilatus and they all loved it it flew to rural aers and was used as an air amubalance
Saw the title and thought the king air had to be here. Then I heard “single engine only”
Yeah, I was incredulous there was no kingair. Single engine is very large caveat.
Jesus Loves You
Amen
Will he let me
Muhammad loves him too
I'd list top 5 turboprops like this:
5. Cessna Caravan
4. Cessna Degali
3. Lancair Evolution
2. TBM
1. Pilatus PC-12
give me 5 millions and i'll buy 3 cessna caravans and start a commercial airliner. but if i have to choose the TBM is the best.
Maurice Tatiano it’s cute that you think you can just “start” an airline because you have the planes
Insurance... 🤮
I wouldn't go so far as to say I'd start a commercial airline, but I might do a charter company.
Single engines are not certified for 'airline' operations. but i can see what you mean though.
Matt Renfro ...it is a start though...I’m curios as to how would you do it ones you have them...
Dang, I don't know much about planes, but the tbm 930 is by far the sexiest looking bird on this list. Compared with the others, it is a Lamborghini parked next to a bunch of F150's lol.
"I don't know much about planes ..." Well, you're perfect for this channel !
You apparently forgot the "single engine" caveat in the title.
It seems that you are unaware of the definition of the word "caveat". ;-(
Another single engine turboprop is the Epic. It’s currently experimental only but certification is coming soon. Same engine as the PC-12 and even when fully loaded with 8 people, luggage, and a couple dogs it climbs at 1500 ft/min. (The owner/Pilot was very generous with a ride and the facts.)
High and Fast in the TBM
Kodiak takes off less than 1000' at gross weight. You forgot to mention that it's crazy, 3500lbs of cargo
That Piper’s landing gear still retracts like a 1978 Arrow.

I agree the number is the pilatos is jsut beautiful
oh yeahhh the good old PC-12!!! My favourite turboprop!
In Switzerland we're reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally proud of our Pilatus Aircrafts!!!
The PC 12 is hands down the best turboprop, Surf Air keeps buying them, it does everything well.
Pilatus is so nice! I've been inside this and looks so freaking nice everywhere you look. The cockpit is also extremely nice and gives a jet feel to it.
The PC-12 is my wet dream....I was in heaven or at least close to it when I got fly in one 😊 when I win the lottery!!!
my grandpa owned an aerostar 600 but his dream plain was a pc-12. on his 80th birthday our family rented one from a biollionair in cali who rented it out. that his the smoothest, fastest and coolest single prop airplanes ever. the only problem is the useful load
Look up boutique air, you can fly one for $100-$200
@@azj9519 I'm speaking of piloting, not riding in the back lol. I've got fly one for a little bit before
Performance #s are wrong on tbm 930, max cruise speed is 380MPH, 330 Kts.
the friend i have w/ a TBM 850 tries to nearly max it out, more or less, he says typically he flies at 315 knots (5 under the max cruise TAS). He's flying nearly cross country most trips, with one stop, where he can burn the fuel and not worry about range. Price is no object so he doesn't worry a ton about fuel burn numbers. Maybe not a typical case though. I really have no clue what most owners do though. I suspect they tend towards the fast end of the scale, otherwise why buy such a fast airplane? Any insight from the TBM pilots on here?
Yep, i got the sense from my friend that he rarely could get the max TAS, that he could always get 315 but rarely 320. Great points. A small nit- i checked the Daher official documentation, and the max cruise is achievable at 28K, a bit under the airplane's ceiling (at least for the 930). It seems TAS falls off a bit as you get up to max ceiling. Your points are excellent, thanks!

The Pilatus PC-12... My first Aircraft.
I remember back in the early 80's, I was supposed to take up a TBM 700 for an introductory flight. Unfortunately things happen, and I never did.
wow great story
Damn that TBM is beautiful
A lot of Pilatus "love" here, but being someone who knows both airplanes, i suspect that 95% of the commenters who are saying they would prefer the Pilatus would take the TBM if they did the reasearch. Just look at the numbers- the Pilatus sells slightly better, but the majority of sales are to corporate operators, and a smaller percentage to individuals. On the other hand, the TBM is sold overwhelmingly to wealthy individuals who are moving up from slower airplanes, like the Cirrus. The Pilatus is great if you haul cargo, land on unfinished runways, or carry a lot of passengers. Corporate stuff, where top end speed and ceiling don't matter as much. The TBM is perfect if you want a blazing fast, high flying "supercar" of an airplane. That's why most individual buyers who can afford it go TBM.
This comment is right on the money. The TBM is so much faster than the Pilatus ... who wants a slower airplane? It's too bad the facts in this video are so wrong.
No question, the pilatus is a great airplane, especially for that sort of usage. It's perfect for back country, short or unfinished strips, carrying big loads, at a pretty decent speed. The TBM is a completely different animal- it's all about performance. Unless you need the special characteristics of the PC-12, the TBM is going to be more appealing for most individuals. That's not saying the Pilatus isn't great for corporations, back country work (like you mentioned), higher PAX count, and such forth.
great point. the pilatus has a much better safety record. The question it raises is the Pilatus just a safer aircraft, or is it the kind of pilot who flies the TBM? I'm a bit of a geek on this stuff, and have read every TBM and pilatus accident report. The most notable TBM accidents are primarily due to 1. torque rolls over the runway by pilots who don't know how to use a rudder correctly, 2. failures to follow a checklist correctly (turn on yaw damper in cruise!), 3. spatial disorientation, and 4. improper response to airplane issues (when you have a pressurization issue at 28k', put on your oxygen mask and start the descent, don't hem and haw w/ ATC). These accidents are not surprising when you have a serious airplane like the TBM being flown by pilots who were financially successful in other areas and now think they are great pilots b/c they were great in business. On the pilatus side, I can think of a few accidents of the same nature, mostly due to spatial disorientation by less than adequate pilots (search for "NTSB Points to Surprising Cause"). But there are a lot of crashes of various types.
It's really hard to say, but my gut is that if TBMs were flown mostly by professional pilots, like the pilatus, the accident rate would be very similar. But that's just a guess!
Thanks, interesting stuff!
I am constantly flying the TBM850, and it is insanely good! Very fast and reliable, and easy to fly. The Pilatus has a better safety record, but any plane, if maintained improperly will have issues, and some owners of the TBM might think it is not needed, giving the TBM a worst safety record than it should have. And the TBM can also land on any chunck of land you want, just like the pilutus
Ted Dryden There’s a lot of projecting going on here...
You can’t speak for others based on your own opinion. Sales are facts. Neither airplane is a car nor Ferrari, they are purchased for pleasure commutes, business commutes or medical services. You aren’t hitting corners or doing burnouts with a 4million dollar jet, it needs to look good & make sense. The wealthiest individuals in the world want space & that will always give the Pilatus the upper hand. If you want speed, speed, speed you’d buy an old mustang or convert a PC-21 “Ohh Pilatus” & gear it up on experimental. You guys kill me 😩
pt6 is the luxury suv of turboprop industury
My brother had a piper. Always breaking down. Bought the pilates.
Thanks Mike, think my faves are TBM, Pilatus and Kodiak in that order!
MCGEARY PHOTO my first camera was a Kodiak.
@@RB747domme ...thats a good one!!!
I would like to see compare Velocity with other planes like rv10 cirrus or maybe other 4 seater...
I'm working on a Velocity review. Will release in future video. Thanks.
Agree these aircraft are all bigger and have greater payload capacity, and higher price tag, but the main distinction is the powerplant and its incredible power output as well as reliability to rest on. These aircraft all perform better then piston engine counterparts in cruising/top speed, climb rate, and ceiling.
Piper M600 is my dream
The ranges claimed for the PC-12 and TBM both seemed substantially greater than the numbers claimed on the manufacturers' websites. Anyone know why?
Swiss perfection, the Rolex of single engine planes.
One question, how does the piper m600 come in below the family truckster Cessna caravan ? Even the price point is out of order. Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan. But....
What do they all have in common? The PT6 turboprop there is no better
TBM all the way... so fast so good looking
Piaggio is fast a turbofan
Thing about the Kodiak is it was originally purpose-built for Humanitarian Aid and Mission Aviation ministries.
Ahem. I believe your missing the beech King air. It's a twin prop engined. Besides the price on that thing it's fabulous.
Cause it's a list of single engined planes not twin
TOM 930, the Polaris p312 and the Piper m600, gorgeous. Love the design of these, thanks Mike!!!
Mike I'd fly with you anytime, your right about alot of the these high performance beauties, the Piper entry in your video I believe was previously named the Marader, lots of problems initially, the engines for some reason kept jumping lose from the housing, unfortunately killing a few people before they worked out the bugs, changing the name, as they did with Pipers Aztec, from Apache. Same plane different name because of accidents. The Platus, another beauty and fast too upwards 500 mph for a single engine propjet my understanding. A few serious accidents and requires a highly trained pilot to operate, quite an advanced aircraft. Yup love Stevo and Mike keep the videos coming thanks man...
PC-12 (max cruise 260kn) is slower than the TBM (330kn). Neither come close to cruising at 500mph (434kn).
Epic 1000 will be number 1 soon. Denali ,PC-12 and TBM930 next on the list. My dream airplane : SearBear L-72 , SJ30 and PC-24
That's the five I would have. Except, I had the King Air in there until you said single.
And you can say "aircrafts" anytime you want.
Single Prop Number 1 : Epic E1000 - 2: TBM - 3 : PC-12 - 4: Denali - 5 : Pilatus PC-21
Saw a TBM 930 in person, I've been sold ever since.
Am wondering what double wing prop will be flying into VNY?
My favorite is the PC-12 NG. It's so nice and so sleek and so luxurious.
TBM is definitely the best looking plane here.
Pilatus is more bealtiful.
The fan on a "jet engine" (fan jet) is NOT really inside the engine, basically. It is kinda wrapped around the outside of the core, but yes, it is part of the engine, inside the outer case and NOT an externally driven item like a propeller or maybe a rotor system which is all driven but a shaft (and, therefore, the name TURBOSHAFT in most turbine helicopters) from the engine to (usually) the transmission. On a fan jet powered aircraft, MOST of the engine's thrust is provided by the engine driven FAN and only a small bith by the core of the engine. This setup is usually caled a "HIGH BYPASS" jet engine and they come in several levels of bypass which is often expressed as a RATIO----that ratio being bypass thrust to core thrust. Turbojet, Fanjet, Turoprop and Turboshaft engines are just different kinds of TURBINE ENGINES.
You forgot the PAC750XL, NZ Built STOL Utility aircraft.
is Wasteland Wyvern a turboprop airplane?
i know it's very very old airplane, but just curious to know
btw it's Westland
and I don't think so...
Isn't Viking making a modern version of the deHavilland single otter? Nice plane very well regarded and can compete with the best of these.
PC-12 my favorite!
You should put the speed in knots instead of miles per hour
Yes, Knots for pilots and kmh for others. Miles per hour is understood by only one country in the world yet UA-cam usage is global.
You're doing great, thanks. Have you heard something about Airvan GA-10? Former GyppsAero, Mahindra Aerospace now. They say it's as good as Cessna 208. And costs only about a $1 mln
No, will check it out. Thanks

Man oh man....I LOVE that picture
Makes the plane look so capable n menacing
Think we need top 10 coz there is the Sherpa. Turboprop back country tail dragger.. Probably not popular in the big scheme of things but big cool factor.
Well NOT the "only difference" but the prop on end is the MAIN difference. Most turboprops have "backward' engine designs, you can tell by the exhaust port being so near the propeller.
also in aircraft historical reference, "since the 90s" is not really very long at all. The Cessna is really the only one with the age to claim "old timer" status.
You should specify "single engine" and "private" as none can beat the veteran TU-95 Bear (925 Km/h - 497 kts)
My personal favorites: PC-6, and the M-7 Maule.
Pls Do A Video Comparision Of The PC-12/TBM 940/Cessna Denali
Nice job - I'd love to see a video about different Avionics systems for the Glass Cockpit. G1000 is most well known, but there are other companies out there like Avidyne and Dynon.
Noted, I'll add to the list of topics now. Thanks.
MogoGrip,
What is the best all-purpose Turboprop for flying in the united states mostly will be used to business travel?
Looking at piper m600, TBM 910 or Secata 930, Cessna deali is alittle pricey , Pilatus PC-12 which one do you prefer?
I love your videos thank you very much!
"Aircraft" is a collective word, like "sheep" and "deer", and so it is both singular and plural. Words such as "aeroplane" and "jetliner" are singular and so the plural form involves the addition of the "s".
pilatuses are dream aircraft
Don't forget about the new Epic Turboprop. It's completing with the TBM and Pilatus.
What’s the price difference per fly hour cost between turboprop an jet planes of this class? Thx
Jet engine cost $2,000 per hour...single engine turboprop $600 per hour.
u should include the piper malibu (pa-46)
Nothing can beat the PC-12.
Great video. I think you should have mentioned the pros and cons of pressurized and non-pressurized cabin aircraft though.
Great airplanes single engine jetprop!! Epic is also a jewel plane
I flew King airs from A90 to superKing 200 and those are like heaven.
FYI the plural of aircraft is aircraft. Sorry, I had to.
Every wonder why these are so good? Consider what they're powered by
M600: Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A
Cessna 208: Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A
Kodiak: Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A
TBM930: Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A
PC-12: Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A
Hi Mike
Who would you recommend at El Monte Airport for instruction to get my LIght sport LIc,
Thanks for any Help Greg
Socal wouldn't be my first choice but if you must, ask for BEN. He's a long time CFI there and I remember he helped a student get their Light sport pilot license while I was training there.
Thanks Mike
What would be your first Choice to get my Light Sport.
Thanks Safe and Fun Flyn
Depends where you are. Lots of flight schools in LA. Honestly of You can get Ben, then Socal is a good choice.
Nope, I won't argue with you on your choice of single engine turbo props. Yes, I was based out of KHWO back in the day before they moved to PMP, so seeing TBMs were a regular sight. PC-12? Flew right seat a few times and was in heaven. $5 mil? That's fantasy money for me. I can only dream.
Platis PC12 went down this weekend in South Dakota killing several people . Sure like to know more information as to why the weather was marginal. However nothing it shouldn’t have been able to handle.
You dropped the ball: the Epic E1000 should have been #1 on this list.
Personally I’d rather have a Twin Otter on amphibious floats but that’s just me.
I’d take a beaver all day
Best of the best is TBM 930 and
Pilatus PC 12 of course!
I saw a PC12 at 0230 today take off from KDP in weather that I honestly thought it was too dangerous to fly in. Flightaware.com showed it being registered to Ohio State University or something I only checked to see if the thing even made it. It was dark out of course and just insane winds, it showed gusts of 40mph but felt worse and snow in layers so thick, this place took off like a Rosie O'Donnell after a sandwich, awesome plane.
My family has a tbm and we wouldn't trade it for any other turbo prop. Also the facts are wrong for the tbm. 330 mph? It's 330 kts. Which is around 380 mph. The pc12 is slow
yes! painful to see him make those errors in the video.
slow but spacious and has a lav ;)
sufficiently spaced for a family of four maybe. With no lav, with hardly any baggage compared to PC-12. The TBM is a good airplane if you want speed. But most other applications Id have to give it to the pilatus. Also TBM has a cabin volume of 123 Cu. Ft .. the pilatus has 356 cu ft. almost 3 times as much room.
Why does he sound like the host from vehicle virals?😂😂
Hey he has a very nice voice, but C'mon Andrew I'm much better looking than that guy.
The pc-12 is very expensive.
I prefer the c-208.
