Mmmm those G1000's are yummy!

[dwalker747]

new PC-12 also has FMS nice alike the proline

[LordOfRot]

I's rather have an engine failure at Vr in the PC-12, then in a King Air or Metro, etc...

[4fifty8]

@LordOfRot I'd have to completely disagree with that... I'd rather live than have an awesome chance of dying, but that's just me.

Ive been flying this machine for 3 months now. After coming off an older twin with steam gauges and no gps,....it is a DREAM!!! You honestly forget that it has one engine. What other single engine airplane can haul 2+9, fl280 and go for 6.5 hours at 270 ktas....none. Well not all at once, but you get my drift. :-p

[LockerzUnlocked]

how is the pilatus space wise, does it have a bathroom? how much fuel does it burn an hour and why not just buy an older pilatus and stick a g1000 in it, is that possible, thx

[crazyleedude]

The pilatus is good space wise. cockpit has ton of room, and the cabin is same as a b200 if not larger. Fuel burn at t/o is around 600 lbs/hr and high level cruise is around 300. The older pc-12 are great too, just the ng has a newer engine (more power longer), and cockpit is awesome. And yes they do have a lav.

[EBUTUOY2112]

Just one problem it has only one engine!

[Mickthebike]

No no problem at all. The PC-12 safety record says it all.

[lovUSAhj]

its a turbo prop, not a falcon business jet, it is cool but adds another expense to an already expensive aircraft, and it probably takes all the joy out of actually "flying" the plane. thats just my opinion

[toomanystupidvideos]

I've been flying with a G1000 for a few years now, and the "glass cockpit" has added more joy to my flying. I feel safer, more informed, and more in-tune with the airplane. At this point, I would rather have a cheaper plane with glass, than A pricier plane without it.

[zombiesurfer1]

@toomanystupidvideos I am not sure rather or not i prefer glass over traditional round dial. I trust both systems, however i am concerned about a glass cockpit system being difficult to operate. All those buttons just to control the computer seem confusiong. Should I learn in a glass plane or a traditional plane?

[shugacane]

@toomanystupidvideos

I've only flown Turbo 182s and used both glass and the older gauges. The G1000 DRASTICALLY changes the flight experience and situational awareness. Its also much more reliable and Very easy to learn

[4fifty8]

@toomanystupidvideos I agree they're fantastic. But i think people are losing the skill and art of flying because of all this advanced tech. There is always going to be a downside to technological advancements.

[jfreak91]

i agree 100%

[Airlinerfreak]

I hope you know, that there's no engine burning less fuel than a Turboprop...

[tomsolomedia]

Nice and new! But I like the old ones cockpit more!

[homesqueeze420]

I couldn't agree with you more.

[punchthedog]

How much would a top spec PC-12 Next Generation cost?

[soquan]

Not sure, but a 2007 model is offered at over $4 Million.

[mingocr83]

2009 Model Basic price $3.8 million, full spec is around $4.2 million with all the luxuries.

[N626DM]

HAHAHA at the beginning i can hear the red arrows leader

[caca121112]

nice!
