I guess you need to win several lotteries to buy and operate a PC-12. I think it'll cost about 7 million euro to buy it, and many people say 10% per year, which is 700.000 euro operating cost per year!
The PC12 is genius engineering. All airplanes are a compromise of factors - size, weight, speed, range, payload, creature comforts, cost, etc, etc, etc..... This bird balances those so perfectly. It feels like no compromises at all.
I was just in Switzerland and drove from Montreux to Gstaad and then back to Montreux via a different route. After walking around the town and experiencing the long drive (3 hours from Zurich), I can see why they are successful. This drive would be much longer in the winter, but the flight time the same. Looking for more videos of the company.
Thank you. Glad you liked the video. We flew the PC-12 several times and yes, compared to Airliners you can feel the turbulences much more. So you better hold your champagne glass if you fly trough turbulent air :-) Nevertheless, it's still very comfortable and you always feel safe.
They copied "The A-Team's" Black gun metal gray/silver with red stripe paint Scheme, VERY cool! Even B.A. Baracus "i ain't gettin on no plane" would be proud to fly on that plane..............
Well they need to verify your bank account to see if you are financial secure. If your bank acct amount is significant then the manufacturer will talk to you.
Excellent and interesting video! 8:37 He said it's possible to fly commercially in club with a PPL? this seems highly unusual. Standard Practice is a PPL does not allow for commercial operations, including cargo flights, even within a flying club system. Commercial operations require a CPL and compliance with AOC requirements. Can you shed some light on this?
@@PropClear It would be nice to know Max range with full passengers, max altitude, short field landing and take off information and a look at storage capacity would be AWESOME!!
When asking can it go 2250nm or even 1500nm. You also need to consider what is YOUR endurance as a pilot or passenger. At 270kts cruise speed 1500nm is over 5 hours in the air and 2250nm would be over 8 hours. Both are long times to be sitting in a aircraft this size behind a turboprop engine. PC-12 pilots I have talked to say that really you will want to try to limit your flights to 3 hours.
You can own it. You just have to be patient. I bought mine at a Government Auction. I made the minimum bid of $120,000.00 and no one else bid. It had no passenger seats but I found them in Florida for $600.00. I repainted her and upgraded the systems.
How funny to listen to two Swiss Germans speaking English with each other in their heavy Schwiitzerdütschi Accents. This is my dream plane. But it costs 8 / 9 million....hmmm... I guess I'll just keep on dreamin'
We haven’t had the chance to fly a P180 yet but would love to review it as well. But for many customers the cargo door and the PC-12´s performance on short and unpaved strips are crucial.
The Piaggio would suck on shorter soft/field runways, plus it doesn't handle cargo as well. It's a different aircraft for a different purpose. Both are great planes in their respective roles.
Believe me, this channel is going to one of the best aviation channels in the future
Appreciate so much Aviax! Hope you'll be right with your statement 🙂
If I ever win the lottery or get rich the Pilatus PC-12NGX will be the plane I buy.
In either way you can't do that, If you wants buy a private jet you should be a business man with billions in revenu so you can buy it to save tax
@@BondJFK true
Fr first invest some and then buy a pc12
@@eerokoskinen6936 Definitely! Most of it will be invested. I'll use the interest to purchase the plane.

fully agree. you can takeoff at almost every airfield, even with 8 pax and full tanks
Even more so with the PC-24.
Good on ya for noticing it after almost 25 years after it was designed.

Sounds like a company to flying for and especially in brand new aircraft
go for it 😎👨🏻✈️👌🏼👍🏼
What a nice pilot, great looking plane, video 10/10.🛩💚
Amazing video. I heard turbulence is rough on these smaller planes (as expected), did you experience any turbulence, if so how was it?

Great video as always👏

Great review. Can you please give some insight as to choosing the Phenom 300 and not the PC-24 for a small family charter company.
The PC-12 NGX is one nice single pilot Turbo Prop Aircraft
indeed!
good aviation and high engineering work..
Hey, how did you order a brand new pc 12 NGX with custom options? Thanks =)
Well they need to verify your bank account to see if you are financial secure. If your bank acct amount is significant then the manufacturer will talk to you.
I would love to fly that PC-12 for that company, If only they were in the states! 😩

good music choice
You need to do a video with the Piaggio Avanti Evo.
We would absolutely love to! :D

sehr guets video. mached wiiter so jungs! euen kanal isch abonniert.
viele dank - more to come, versprochä!
Thanks!
Thank you soo much David
Can it fly 2250 nautical miles with full tanks without refueling stop?
Pilatus says on their website, that the max range of the pc-12 ngx is 1803nm
Be real be safe. 1,500 is the max I would push it.

@@mikentx57 true. My longest flight was 4.2 hours, and it sucked. The seats are terrible for that length of time.

I want that plane give to me now!!!!

Why buy a PC12 when you can buy the Piaggio P180 which is faster, higher ceiling, more seats, more spacious, more efficient, and lower interior noise.
We haven’t had the chance to fly a P180 yet but would love to review it as well.
But for many customers the cargo door and the PC-12´s performance on short and unpaved strips are crucial.
One thing that the man mentioned was the slower speeds on landing. It looks like the Piaggo's minimum control speed is 100 kts.
The Piaggio would suck on shorter soft/field runways, plus it doesn't handle cargo as well. It's a different aircraft for a different purpose. Both are great planes in their respective roles.
It's a twin engine meaning it's way more expensive to maintain
budget pc24
good one - let's see if we can make a comparison soon :-)

Blah blah blah blah blah
May we please SEE more of the aircraft inside and outside and in flight.
@12:26, dude, get a new laptop PC. You’re embarrassing the PC12.
sorry all of our money goes into flying and video gear
