Pilatus Aircraft Ltd introduces the new PC-12 PRO, featuring a completely redesigned cockpit and innovative safety features such as “Autoland.” The new PC-12 PRO promises an improved user experience, greater efficiency, and enhanced safety. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in late 2025.
PC-12 PRO – Progress in the cockpit
At the heart of the new PC-12 PRO is the Pilatus Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE), based on the Garmin G3000. This modern cockpit system includes three high-resolution 14-inch primary flight displays and two 7-inch touchscreen secondary displays. The equipment is complemented by a cursor control device that gives the pilot complete control over all phases of flight. Inspired by the PC-24, the new ergonomic design of the control horns ensures a pleasant user experience. The improved viewing angle also contributes to increased safety and ease of handling.
Top-class security features
Advanced safety features include the Autoland function, which will be standard equipment on all PC-12 PRO models starting in 2026. This feature is part of a comprehensive safety portfolio that includes the Stall Warning & Protection System and Electronic Stability & Protection. Together with the enlarged antenna for the weather radar, it improves situational awareness and makes a significant contribution to flight safety.
PC-12 PRO offers innovative design and comfort
The PC-12 PRO offers a modern cabin design paired with exceptional comfort and timeless elegance. New built-in furniture creates additional storage space in the cabin, while the state-of-the-art color and interior designs showcase a digital aesthetic. These design elements, inspired by the digital era, give the aircraft a dynamic, futuristic appearance.
Efficient drive technologies
At the heart of the PC-12 PRO is the proven Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engine, renowned for its reliability. With over 60,000 engines in service worldwide and more than 400 million flight hours, this engine offers an unmatched track record. The autothrottle system and the electronic engine and propeller control system (EPECS) reduce pilot workload while increasing efficiency. Additionally, the PC-12 PRO is certified for sustainable fuel, reducing emissions and promoting more environmentally friendly flying.
