Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Pressurizado a FL300: único single-engine na classe a esse teto
O PC-12 NG opera pressurizado até FL300 (~9.000 m), único single-engine turboprop da classe com essa capacidade. Permite voar acima de tempo e turbulência típica, conforto comparável a jatos light em missões médias.
Pilatus PC-12 NG spec sheet
Cabine de 5,1 m de comprimento: mais ampla que PC-12 anterior
A cabine do NG tem ~5,1 m de comprimento, 1,52 m de largura e 1,47 m de altura, espaço para 6-9 PAX em configuração executiva ou cargo. Combinada com porta cargo traseira de 1,35x1,32 m, oferece versatilidade rara.
Limitations
Single-engine: aceitação limitada em RBAC 135 noturno e IFR severo
Apesar da confiabilidade comprovada do PT6A, regulamentações em alguns países e empresas charter restringem operação single-engine em IFR severo, noturno sobre água ou áreas remotas. No Brasil é permitido (RBAC 135), mas mercado corporativo conservador prefere bimotor.
