Pilatus PC-12 NGX for Sale

One engine. 2,000 aircraft. 10 million hours. Still the smartest buy in aviation?

One engine, nine seats and a cargo door big enough for skis and bikes. The Pilatus PC-12 passed 2,000 deliveries and 10 million fleet flight hours, milestones Pilatus announced in 2023. The NGX, unveiled in October 2019, added the PT6E-67XP engine with electronic engine control and autothrottle.

In 2025 Pilatus replaced the NGX with the PC-12 PRO, so a pre-owned NGX is now the smart way into a near-new PC-12. It cruises at 290 kt and costs a fraction of a jet to run. ICCJET sources PC-12 NGXs and earlier PC-12s on and off market.

The cabin

Can you stand up inside a PC-12 NGX?

No, and nobody in this class can. The cabin is 1.42 m high, so adults bow their heads to walk in and sit comfortably. What you get instead is 5.16 m of cabin length.

Cabin size 5.16 m long, 1.52 m wide, about 1.42 to 1.47 m high
Passengers Up to 9
Cargo door Large aft cargo door for bikes, skis, stretchers or freight
In practice Not a stand-up cabin, but a flexible one: executive seats on Monday, freight or a stretcher on Tuesday

Routes

10 routes the way an owner flies them

The PC-12 NGX duel. Pick a rival, pick a route and race them. Gold is the PC-12 NGX. Watch who lands nonstop and who stops for fuel, then switch to Who gets where: the gold cities are the ones only the PC-12 NGX reaches nonstop.

Distances are great-circle from the business aviation airport of each city; times use 290 kt plus 20 minutes, in still air. Nonstop means the distance is under 90% of the 1,765 nm range, a margin for winds. A fuel stop adds about an hour on the ground.

Ride quality

Turbulence: how the PC-12 NGX rides

Honest answer: a turboprop at 30,000 ft flies lower than a jet, so it meets more of the weather. Plan around convective weather and let the crew pick the altitude. Its ceiling is 30,000 ft.

In the press

Who flies a PC-12 NGX

The PC-12 is the aircraft professionals pick when the runway is short and the job is serious. These are public fleets; ICCJET never discusses its own clients.

Royal Flying Doctor Service Flies PC-12s across Australia
United States Air Force Flies the U-28A Draco, a PC-12 for special operations

What the list tells a buyer: doctors in the outback and special forces trust one engine because this one has been proven over millions of hours.

Incidents

Safety record and history

Fleet More than 2,000 delivered; more than 10 million flight hours
Fatal accidents Notable fatal accidents include Butte, Montana (2009), Chamberlain, South Dakota (2019), near Milan (2021) and Gillette, Wyoming (2024)
Context A single-engine aircraft that flies in all weather into short strips: weather and runway decisions matter as much as the airframe

The honest view: the PC-12 asks for professional flying. Hire experienced crews, respect icing and runway limits, and it repays you with jet-like utility at turboprop costs.

Buyer checklist

What to check before you buy a PC-12 NGX

  1. Engine. Hours since overhaul, hot section inspections and engine programme status.
  2. Propeller. Hours and overhaul status.
  3. Use history. Air ambulance, freight or private use changes the wear profile.
  4. Avionics. NGX suite or earlier Honeywell Apex, and region mandates.
  5. Records. Complete logbooks, airworthiness directives, service bulletins and damage history.
  6. Registration and transition. Plan the certificate of airworthiness and the change of registry early. Compare 21 aircraft registries.
  7. Finance. Structure the deal before the letter of intent. Aircraft financing with ICCJET.

The King Air 350i has two engines, a taller cabin and a little more range; the PC-12 NGX burns far less fuel, costs less to buy and lands in less space. Choose the King Air if two engines are a must, the PC-12 for running costs.

FAQ

Pilatus PC-12 NGX for sale: questions

How much does a PC-12 NGX cost?

A pre-owned PC-12 NGX price depends on year, hours, engine and propeller status. Older PC-12s cost much less. ICCJET gives a current indication on request.

What is the range of the PC-12 NGX?

1,765 nm (3,269 km), according to published manufacturer figures.

Can you stand up in a PC-12 NGX?

No, and nobody in this class can. The cabin is 1.42 m high, so adults bow their heads to walk in and sit comfortably. What you get instead is 5.16 m of cabin length.

Can a PC-12 NGX fly New York to Aspen nonstop?

Yes: about 1,502 nm against 1,765 nm of range, about 5 h 30 min in still air.

Is a single-engine PC-12 safe?

The fleet has passed 10 million flight hours. Its record, like any aircraft, depends on crew training and weather decisions; many professional operators fly it every day.

Can the PC-12 land on unpaved strips?

Yes. It is one of the few pressurised turbine aircraft designed to operate from rough strips.

What is the difference between the PC-12 NGX and the PC-12 PRO?

The PRO, launched in 2025, moves to Garmin avionics with emergency autoland. The NGX keeps the same airframe and engine family and costs less pre-owned.
