Which Should You Buy: Pilatus PC-12 or Pilatus PC-24?
Bottom line: Choose the PC-12 for single-engine turboprop economics, the 9-10 seat cabin and the largest cabin-class single fleet. Step up to the PC-24 for jet speed (~160 kt faster), twin-engine redundancy, longer range and the only jet certified for unimproved strips — at materially higher acquisition and operating cost. Many PC-24 buyers are PC-12 owners stepping up. ================================================================ # HONDA AIRCRAFT (1 нова пара) ================================================================
