Pilatus PC-12NGX is a new generation of the single-engine turboprop aircraft PC-12, which have been dominating their market niche for the past 25 years. Technological development, competition and the urge to keep the leadership led to the creation of what is basically the third generation of PC-12.
Despite the fact that, judging from its appearance, the PC-12NGX is practically identical to its predecessors of the NG generation, it got a series of important improvements, which encompass the power plant, avionics, comfort levels inside the cabin and interior design. Let’s take a closer look at this brand new plane.

One very sweet plane. This may be the most handsome turboprop that I have ever seen. Well designed and updated, with attention to detail and functionality. No wonder that this aircraft maintain its value and does well in the aftermarket. Well worth the attention of a Skyships Eng video.
Always been a fan of the PC-12 even before many even KNEW the type . . .especially the die hard King Air folks. Even they are smiling about it now.
I flew the PC-12 for 4.5 years, it's a great and very reliable aircraft. I never had to cancel a flight because there was something broken. I really miss flying the PC-12 those were fun times. Thank you for an excellent video on the PC-12. Stay safe and healthy my friend.
Swiss built quality that is ;-) We are very proud on that Pilatus Factory in our State in Luzern.
@Flinty94 uh, nice. Enjoy it. Its quite Something, with the airfield between the lakes and Mountains.
@Flinty94 If possible, also visit mt Pilatus witch ist closeby. And the factory Name is coming from😉
@Flinty94 niiice👍🏻
Glad to hear that. I work for its software :)
I see and hear these beautiful aircraft going by my house most days going to my local airport there so stunning wish I knew how to fly and that I could afford one perhaps in the next life
I think pitatus manufacturers one of the Best Turbo Prop single engines in the World. The performance and reliability is above its Class. Thx for Sharing.
I agree. Pilatus make beautiful aircraft.
This was absolutely the best review I've seen on this plane to date. Thank youuuuu
PC-12 and the Cessna 208 are the two best single-engine turboprops out there, IMO.
Love the PC-12 NG - totally amazing interior comfort. Along with landing and take off capability, the ability to use short grass runways makes it great to access much closer to where you want it to be :) I will have to look into the NGX now! Thanks for the video.
Sky channel has the best stories. The info, the clips & pics, proper format and his accent pull me right into these videos.
Early on I was not a fan of the type, but like caviar I grew to like it. This latest model I must say is beautiful. Thanks for quality content.
The livery of this particular one was especially beautiful in my opinion :)

In a message posted on Facebook, Travis Garza, president of the nutritional products company Kyani, said the company's founders, Jim and Kirk Hansen, and seven of their relatives, died in the crash. ... Twelve people were aboard the Pilatus PC-12 when it crashed shortly after takeoff Saturday afternoon en route from Chamberlain to Idaho Falls, Idaho, National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson told NPR. NTSB, which is handling the investigation, could not confirm the cause of the crash. ...]
@@tommypetraglia4688 it is sad that it happened but you can't just blame it on the plane, FAA has only certified the pc12 to fly 11 people ( 9 passengers and 2 pilot ) max, but they flew with 12 people and all their camping and hunting gears, they could have been easily pushing it's MTOW and overloaded it. They also picked the worst time to fly, during a winter snow storm in heavy icing condition which is not a best time for any one to fly especially a GA pilot in a heavy airplane.... NTSB Preliminary report: www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/NR20191217.aspx AVweb's report on this: www.avweb.com/aviation-news/nine-dead-three-injured-in-sd-pc-12-crash/ a KZhead video which goes into a bit more detail on this: kzhead.info/sun/a7dxdZivfYWjgWg/bejne.html The report says the stall warning came on after just one second from take off and continued intermediately throughout till the crash and witnesses said they were trying for 3 hours to clear the ice from the air frame before the flight. We have to wait for the full report to make a conclusion but from what is known till now it doesn't seem like the airplane is at fault here and it seems to be mainly caused by human error.
@@superchargedpetrolhead it was also snowing that night and the PC-12 was parked outside so the accumulated snow/ice would have added more weight too. The pilot probably didn't know the maximum weight or perhaps was overconfident with such a reliable aircraft! The pilot and passengers were clearing the ice/snow for 3 hours but there were many places where they couldn't reach. www.flyingmag.com/story/news/nstb-pc-12-report-shows-stall/
@@tonyvu2011 Pc12 has so many safety features to handle any type of bad situations in flight but it can't protect itself against human stupidity and overconfidence
Every upload of yours brings me such joy :)
That's good)
Nice panel...&. Screen. &. Software Autopilot Nice Turboprop
Nice. Pilatus. PC 12
Outstanding review, as I have come to expect.
Very nice review, perfectly narrated with all the essential figures. That's a dream machine besides the TBM940 !
Excellent presentation! Amazing aircraft. Well done Pilatus 👍🏻
A video about my favorite aircraft! This is much better than a sweet for me, excellent and thank you for your work!
So interesting. You looked quite comfortable in there yourself, Sky. It's great we got to see this beautiful plane through your eyes.
As always...great work! Thx so much
Excellent review, as always!
Outstanding video, as usual. A beautiful aircraft!
A marvellous aircraft . I imagine with shared avionics the transition to a PC24 would be quite seamless .
Definitely the KING OF PROPS :) with a very specific sound as well. Nice video .
CONGRATULATIONS ! The best video on this fantastic channel so far.
Wonderful video.Well explained.Great visuals.Thank you.I love this plane.Well done.
This is why its called the king of all Turboprops.
I would have said that that title went to the King Air for twin engine props and the single engine king of turboprops to the PC12 but hey, anyone can have its opinion
I thought C-130’s were king of the Turbo props.
Alot of people who are into turboprops call the pilatus the king of all turboprops. You are actually the first person who said it was the c130. I've never even seen a video like that.

@@tommypetraglia4688 true but there was icing on the wing at take off because you know it was snowing. And ice also brought down a 737. So yeah all that was a combination for a crash. King airs on the other hand roll over and die when an engine failure happens due to pilot error. So the fact that its safety record is better than a lot of turboprops does make it king in my and plenty of other people's opinions. Just to let you know the pilot didn't think like alot of other crashes. Same thing would happen to a king air.
thank you Skyships! thank you Sky
I love these videos; they are so well done and very informative.
Beautiful aircraft. Thanks a lot!
Amazing review as per usual! keep them coming, especially about my favorite boy, the PC12
Wonderful bird! Love PIlatus!
The PC12 is so wonderful
I’ve only managed to just sit in the cockpit of one of these. Stunning aircraft
Thanks for the full and superbe presentation of that jewel.
I think this was called the u28 when I flew on it. I never saw those lavish interiors. Still, I had good pilots with this outstanding plane in at least one situation where a lesser plane might have left me a smear on the ground, so props to Pilatus.
That is the military version
This was an excellent summary. Thank you!
All i can say is WOW. Great reporting!
Sky, your videos are very informative and non biased. This aircraft is probably the Cadillac of single turbo props and has some terrific amenities and safety features. You do great work and I like your presentations on Russian aircraft as well. If you have not done so already, how about a segment on the Mi-17 utility helicopter? That is a classic workhorse helicopter in my opinion.
One of the nicest PJs I’ve ever flown in.
You Rock man, love your videos!!!
Great video - very informative!
Enjoyed your presentation!!
It’s time to see a brief video bio on Sky himself! The enduring excellence of our hero merits it! 💛😎
Totally agree! Who is the man that creates this awesome, easy to understand yet very complete and detailed, airplane info clips?????
@@MrJaaplepoole At least he has started appearing in his videos a while ago. In the beginning there was just the voice. ;-)
@@Colaholiker I guess he prefers not to appear so much because he narrates in Russian & then translates to English...it would be weird to see his lips not in sync with his voice !
@@Timothy_Kim Could be. But in many countries people are used to that. I am German, and all the movies and TV series we get from other countries, mainly United States, are dubbed. You hear them speak German but they move their mouths to the English text they originally say. So I don't think it's much of a deal.
@@Timothy_Kim it is considered a bit unprofessional for vehicle fans in CIS to make videos about themselves. It usually ends up with a lot of people commenting how much of a fuck they dont give. Or worse - a political shitstorm.
Excellent and informative video. Thanks!
Great video! I like learning about aircraft that I never knew before. Cheers
The best avia-blogger!
Great video. Really interesting I love the PC 12
A fantastic presentation. Well done.
Ty Sky! You do it well, very well
Thank you for a very interesting video as always👍
First time I had flown in an executive type beautiful plane
Another well thought and excellent presentation. No, no, thank you Sky.
Another detailed and interesting video. Thumbs up.
Excellent review. Thx
Awesome review.. Well done.
Thanks so much for sharing this fascinating video about a really cool airplane!
That’s a Beautiful Plane.
Very nice. I was aware of it but did not know the details. I would love to have one. Thank you!
Always has been one of my favorite aircraft 😍😍✈️
Very good! Thanks.
What a beautiful plane ✈️
Outstanding Report!
Swiss masterpiece... built like a watch!
Super documentary!
Awesome plane and video!
Working on setting up an air taxi service at San Juan, P.R. Flying folks throughout the Caribbean. This will be my flagship!
Thank you for including US measures in this clip, not just metric.
Pilatus is always perfection.
until it bites you..
Still waiting for the Antonov marathon. This is great though.
😎 Very nicely written and presented!
Thanks Sky, such a nice plane!
Very nice...thank you for this video
I love it And thank u so much for sharing I also love a Piaggio Avante Italian plane.
Good video, good aircraft. Thank you.
Great plane indeed. LabCorp flies them I believe exclusively which to me says a lot about the platform. Keep up the great work!
LabCorp flies out of KOSU. I see those flights regularly.
A beautiful and very useful aircraft. I hope they sell loads of them.
It's beautiful...
Beautiful plane.
Oh, the new NGX, heard about it
Love the Pilatus PC-12 ❤🥰👍😎 If I ever have a few million 💰 to spend, This would be the plane. 😉👨✈️
The PC-12 looks like a pretty good duck buster for frequent puddle jumping.
That's nice in all aspects...👍 Love it....😁
Wonderful!❤️
#9👍LIKE👏🎉Thanks for a new video!!💖
What a beauty 😍
This aircraft might possibly be the most beautiful I’ve ever seen... ...of course she’s also out of my league .
Favorite airplane!
Pratt&Whitney made a greate job with their new PT-6
Amazing what a little competition from GE can do.
@@terryboyer1342 Pratt&Whitney Canada have been in the turboprop business with the PT6 and other designs long enough to know exactly what they are doing with their new designs and tech implementation. They also know they cannot afford to be seen as falling behind (rest assured, some of this tech must have been developed some time ago and was just waiting for the right time to make its appearance on the market). P&W C also know that they won't get an easy pass if something goes wrong with the new PT6 design, in the same way that GE may, since GE does not have the same history and pedigree in the turboprop business and some may be inclined to judge them more leniently than P&W C, if something doesn't perform quite according to the standard expected. Between the two, I'd rather have a PT6 than the new GE. A tried and tested aviation legend from a company that has dominated the sector for decades, I think the PT6 is a better choice, especially in a single engine plane.
@@cuttight If you're not already, P&W Canada should make you head of their marketing dept! What a spiel!
@@terryboyer1342 lol - that would be nice! I might actually afford one of these if I were. Nah, I don't have any vested interests in P&W C or anyone else. Just an aviation enthusiast with a (well) informed opinion.
Many thanks as always. If you are covering turboprop private and corporate transport any chance of the Mitsubishi MU-2. I know it's an oldie but it is still high performance and I'd trust you to cover it fully, and not a silly sensational crash fest story.
really good video
Looking very nice.
Omg that is one of the sexiest airborne structures I’ve ever laid eyes on....dang what a smooth and sleek design
GOLD STANDARD in all ways. Only question is, is it you or the hero in concern ? But my THANKS will always remain yours.
A BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANE....
I love this plane!
Beautiful Aircraft.😳
it's beautiful
Love your videos.. :)
It’s also a beautiful bird
Thank you, Sky. Here’s your 50th like.
next one is PC-12MAX good video btw enjoy it a LOT!!! keep it up
Might be NGXu then...
Great plane. I really want to buy it.
