GETTING THE
JOB DONE
It’s the new reality – you are under constant pressure to do more
with less. More missions need to be supported with fewer people
and less budget to accomplish them. Surveillance, command and
control, personnel transport, medevac, cargo movement.
Up until now, each mission required its unique set of equipment
and specialized personnel to manage and operate the assets.
In today’s world, it’s time to think differently about how you get
the job done, and Pilatus has the solution.
The rugged, field-proven PC-12 NG is as versatile as a Swiss Army
knife. In just minutes the PC-12 NG can be transformed to perform
a wide range of special mission roles. In one aircraft, the PC-12 NG
combines high speed, long range, large cabin, fuel efficiency, low
maintenance, and unimproved runway operation (STOL) to create
a unique asset unmatched by anything else in the field. One highly
efficient platform, capable of accomplishing many critical missions.

THE ULTIMATE LOW COST
MULTI-MISSION PLATFORM
Start with the most capable and cost-
effective day, night, and all-weather
aircraft available today. Tailor its 330
cubic feet of cabin volume to your
unique requirements. Switch quickly
from a nine-passenger transport
configuration to a full cargo or com-
bination layout. Convert it to an ISR
or SAR platform with the stealthy, de-
ployable Spectre EO/IR sensor lift
and operator console. Transform it to
a medevac format or air ambulance.
There’s even an optional utility door
for airdrop and jump operations.
The PC-12 NG is one stellar platform
being deployed by special mission
insiders in some of the most austere
and harsh environments around
the globe. Combine long loiter time
on station with high-speed dash
capability and long range. The result
is a truly compelling, multi-role,
multi-mission aircraft that is the
definition of “mission fit.”
What’s more, it costs millions less to
procure than other aircraft in its class,
and costs half as much to operate.
The sleek and rugged PC-12 NG is equally
at home patroling urban areas as well as
landing on remote landing strips.
The rugged airframe and unparalleled
reliability of the PC-12 NG Spectre
come from the same company that
builds the legendary Pilatus Porter PC-6.

along far-reaching borders. Agencies tasked with the difficult
mission of protecting long stretches of unguarded borders have
found the PC-12 NG uniquely capable of expanding their reach
without blowing their budgets.
DRUG
ENFORCEMENT
Get a leg up on smugglers with some tricks of your own. The
PC-12 NG Spectre is the ace up your sleeve for patrols over land
and sea. Protect your undercovers by knowing if suspects are carrying
weapons, how many perpetrators there may be and where they are
moving. Use the infrared sensor to observe and protect day and night.
The deployable EO/IR sensor
provides the ability to be a stealthy
observer of unlawful activity.
The sensor operator console allows full control
of the tailcone mounted EO/IR sensor. Sensor
deployment may also be controlled by the pilot.
Sensor imagery can be displayed on the cockpit
MFDs for complete crew coordination.
Trailing link landing gear and a very short landing
distance allow the PC-12 NG to operate on
remote and unimproved airstrips.
The lift mechanism for the sensor is completely
integrated into the tailcone of the PC-12 NG.

DISASTER RESPONSE
Fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and tornados are
not just the stuff found in movies. Real disasters require rapid re-
sponse by governments, military personnel, medical staff and relief
agencies. The ability to carry large loads and operate from short,
unimproved runways or even roads allows the PC-12 NG to provide
aid in a way that no other aircraft is capable. The PC-12 NG’s
large cargo door enables it to make quick turns reloading supplies
on the ground. Its quickly convertible interior makes it easy to switch
from carrying pallets of food and supplies to transporting medical
personnel or air-lifting critically injured patients. These are not
simply roles conceived in a movie studio — the Pilatus PC-12 NG has
proven itself dutifully as a first-responder providing support to teams
helping people impacted by the earthquake in Haiti, Hurricane
Katrina, and in relief efforts throughout the world.
After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, a
group of Pilatus PC-12 owners joined
together to help with the relief efforts
and collectively contributed over 2500
hours of flight time.

UTILITY
& TRANSPORT
When the mission calls for moving
people, cargo or a combination of
both on short notice, the Pilatus
PC-12 NG serves dutifully. Oversized
cargo, unimproved runways, and
short fields – not a problem with
the PC-12 NG. In its standard con-
figuration, the PC-12 NG features
nine quick-release utility passenger
seats. Any or all of the seats may be
removed in a matter of minutes to
reconfigure the PC-12 NG to carry

DEPENDABLE
& COST-EFFECTIVE
The PC-12 NG is precision-engineered and crafted with the purpose of
operating day-in and day-out in harsh environments around the globe.
Pilatus’ experience building high performance turboprop aircraft for
the world’s militaries provides a solid foundation for understanding the
demands that are placed on aircraft which must be available for duty
at a moment’s notice.
With over 1,100 aircraft in the field, the PC-12 fleet has racked up
millions of flight hours operating in remote regions of the Arctic, across
the deserts of Australia, over the waters of the North Atlantic, and in the
mountains of Southwest Asia.
The PC-12 NG’s modern, yet simple and intuitive systems make trouble-
shooting and repair a breeze — especially for units used to working with
older twin-turboprops, jets, or turbine helicopters. Consequently, the
PC-12 NG requires far fewer man-hours of maintenance per flight
hour than aircraft traditionally used for special mission roles.
For 10 consecutive years owners and operators of PC-12 NG aircraft
have ranked Pilatus customer service #1 amongst all other turboprop
aircraft manufacturers. The bottom line is that the Pilatus PC-12 NG
simply gives you more up-time and mission readiness. It is the aircraft
you can count on any day, anytime, anywhere.
Fly 2,000 nautical miles, carry a 2,666-pound payload, or loiter on
station for over eight hours. Respond at a dash speed of 280 knots
or throttle back and circle at 115 knots. The PC-12 NG’s wide speed
range enables pilots to easily sequence with airliners or touch-down at
less than 75 knots on unimproved airfields and stop in less than 900 ft.
With its unequalled range of performance capabilities and low lifecycle
costs, it’s quite clear that the PC-12 NG Spectre is always ready for
your most demanding missions.
