About the Pilatus PC-12 Ngx

The Pilatus PC-12 is the best-selling pressurized single-engine turboprop in history — over 2,000 delivered since 1994. Powered by a single Pratt and Whitney PT6A-67P engine (1,200 SHP), the PC-12 NGX carries up to nine passengers at 290 KTAS with a 1,803 nm range and lands in 2,602 feet. What makes the PC-12 exceptional is its combination of jet-like cabin comfort (330 cubic feet, 4 feet 10 inches stand-up height), short-field performance, and the ability to operate from unpaved strips via its rugged trailing-link gear. The large 52 by 52 inch cargo door on the left side transforms it from executive transport to freight hauler in minutes.

The PC-12 competes with the Beechcraft King Air C90 (twin engine but smaller cabin) and the Daher TBM 960 (faster but smaller cabin). The PC-12 wins on cabin size, versatility, and operating costs ($800-$1,000/hr versus $1,200/hr for a King Air).

Buying advice. PT6A-67P engine condition is the primary value driver. Verify hot section inspection status and compliance with Pilatus mandatory Service Bulletins. The PC-12 retains value better than almost any turbine aircraft — 10-year residual values consistently exceed 70%. Early PC-12/45 models (1994-2005): $1.5M-$3M. PC-12/47E: $3M-$5.5M. PC-12 NGX: $5M-$7M. A Pilatus PC-12 for sale is the ultimate single-engine turboprop — nothing else combines this cabin, performance, and versatility.

Buying a Used Pilatus PC-12 Ngx

Buying a Pilatus PC-12 Ngx centres on its turbine engine(s) — time to overhaul, hot-section history and any engine maintenance program — alongside airframe hours and cycles.

What to check before buying

  • Turbine engine status — hot-section and overhaul time, trend monitoring and whether the engine is on a maintenance program.
  • Airframe hours & cycles — high-utilisation turboprops accumulate cycles quickly; cycles can matter more than hours.
  • Equipment — cargo pod, floats/amphibian gear, de-ice and avionics all affect value.
  • Corrosion & logbooks — continuous records and a corrosion inspection, especially on float or marine-operated aircraft.
  • Pre-buy inspection — commission an independent pre-buy by a type-experienced shop.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pilatus PC-12 Ngx

What improvements does the PC-12 NGX offer over the PC-12 NG?
The NGX (2020+) adds FADEC engine control (eliminating costly hot starts that plagued earlier models), 5,000-hr engine TBO (up from 3,500), and improved avionics. Previous PC-12 owners spent $50-100K on hot section repairs from improper condition lever use — FADEC prevents this entirely. The NGX is the most refined single-engine turboprop available.
How do PC-12 NGX operating costs compare to light jets?
At $814K annually (450 hrs), the NGX costs roughly 30% less than a Phenom 300 to operate. Fuel burn of 66 gph (vs. 130+ for light jets) is the main advantage. The trade-off is speed: 290 KTAS vs. 400+ for jets. For missions under 1,000 nm where speed is secondary to economics, the PC-12 NGX is the most cost-effective pressurized aircraft available.
Is a used PC-12 NGX worth the premium over an NG?
Used NGX models average $6.7M vs. $3-5M for late-model NGs. The FADEC alone justifies a significant premium by eliminating the most expensive maintenance risk. The 5,000-hr TBO saves roughly $150K over the engine life compared to the 3,500-hr NG. For high-utilization operators, the NGX pays for itself through lower engine costs.
