A Proven Power Plant is a Must

In a single-engine aircraft, a proven engine is the most important component. Fortunately, the PC-12 PRO is equipped with the latest version of the most reliable aircraft power plant ever produced – the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6. With over 60,000 engines in service and over 400 million flight hours, the PT6 family of engines has an unrivalled safety record. The PT6 engine has already been thoroughly tested in over eleven million flight hours in the PC-12.

In combination with the fully automatic electronic engine and propeller control system (EPECS), the digital thrust control, or “Autothrottle System”, reduces the pilot’s workload, optimises performance, increases fuel efficiency, ensures a quieter flying experience and protects against engine overlimit events. The PC-12 PRO also generates fewer CO2 emissions and is additionally ready for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), enabling a greener future without sacrificing performance.

Already certified, deliveries of the PC-12 PRO will start in the fourth quarter of 2025.
