The Pilatus PC-12 in the PlaneSense® program has the advantage of being able to land and take off from over 8,000 U.S. airports compared to the roughly 500 airports that are served by commercial airlines.
In addition to that, the Pilatus PC-12 can fly into and out of airports with runways as short as 2,500 feet -- concrete, grass or gravel, whereas operators of similarly sized business jets typically use paved runways that are at least 5,000 feet. That means we can help you access up to 4x as many airports compared to a similarly sized jet*, whether you're flying inside or outside of the Primary Operating Area.
You can use the following resources to explore runway length at airports near you: www.airnav.com, www.acukwik.com, www.airportcodes.com. As a share owner, one of our Owner Services representatives will help you identify what airports will work best for your needs.
When considering these landing and take-off advantages, the aircraft’s large cargo door and storage capacity, and our spacious six-seat executive configuration, you’ll begin to understand why we think of the Pilatus PC-12 as one of the most unique and hardest-working aircraft in private aviation.
