PC-12
With more than seven million hours flown, the PC-12 has established itself as the world's most versatile and pioneering single-engine turboprop business jet.
Multifunctional. Reliable. Safe. Proven.
These are the words customers often use to describe their PC-12, explaining why so many people around the world trust the PC-12 to transport family and friends, colleagues or valuable goods. Comfort, quality, efficiency and time savings add to the list of benefits for anyone traveling on the world's most popular single-engine business aircraft.
Why should you take this rating?
There are many reasons why you should invest in a SET (Single Engine Turbine) class rating on the PC-12. The PC-12 is a state-of-the-art aircraft with an ever-increasing range of applications. Companies and even private operators are recognizing the added value of the PC-12:
- The PC-12 can use runways as short as 758 meters at maximum weight and even operate on grass, gravel runways.
- This flexibility, combined with a range of up to 3,300km, results in a much wider operational envelope than most business jets.
- The PC-12 NG offers avionics technology inspired by business jets, tailored for single-pilot operations.
- More than 1700 PC-12s and over seven million hours flown safely represent Pratt & Whitney Canada's highly reliable PT6 engine. The PC-12 has a safety record on the same level as that of twin-engine business jets.
- The PC-12 can be operated in "single pilot" or "multi pilot" operations.
This is your investment in a future-proof rating!

Course structure
Your training is divided into 2 blocks:
You start your training with a five-day classroom course. In this course, you will learn about the PC-12, the PT6 engine and Honeywell avionics in detail. Our course focuses on the PC-12 NG with Honeywell Primus Apex Integrated Avionics System.
We consciously focus on professional classroom instruction rather than online instruction, as the interaction of the individual components and their knowledge is very important and we can teach you the complex subject matter of a single engine turbine aircraft with complex avionics at a high level.
The most important topics:
- Overview of the PC-12
- Environmental systems
- Anti-Ice/De-Ice
- PT 6 Turbine
- Avionic system Honeywell Primus Apex
- Fuel system
- Landing gear
- Performance
- ...
The training ends with an examination which has to be passed with 75%. After that you are "ready for take-off" with the PC-12!
This part of the training covers the practical training on the PC-12. It includes 7 sessions with a total of 12 block hours and is divided into 5.5 hours of VFR and 6.5 hours of IFR time.
Each session includes a comprehensive pre-flight briefing, approximately 1.5 to 2 block hours of flight time and a detailed post-flight debriefing.
