SECTION 1 GENERAL SYMBOLS, ABBREVIATIONS, AND TERMINOLOGY GENERAL AIRSPEED TERMINOLOGY AND SYMBOLS Calibrated airspeed means the indicated airspeed of an aircraft, corrected for position and instrument error. Calibrated airspeed is equal to true airspeed in standard atmosphere at sea level. Ground speed is the speed of an airplane relative to the ground. Page 63 SECTION 1 GENERAL V MO Maximum operating speed is the speed limit that may not be exceed at any time. V is expressed in knots. Maximum Operating Maneuvering airspeed is the maximum speed at which application of full available aerodynamic control will not overstress the airplane. NOTE V O is defined in accordance with FAR 23 Amendment 45. SECTION 1 GENERAL METEOROLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY Indicated The number actually read from an altimeter when the Altitude barometric subscale has been Pressure set to 29.92 in hg (1013.2 mbar). IOAT Indicated Outside Air Temperature is the temperature obtained from an indicator and not corrected for instrument error and compressibility effects. Page 65 SECTION 1 GENERAL Icing Can exist when the OAT on the ground and for take-off Conditions (Continued) is 10°C or colder when operating on ramps, taxiways or runways, where surface snow, ice, standing water, or slush may be ingested by the engine, or freeze on the engine, or the engine nacelle. SECTION 1 GENERAL POWER TERMINOLOGY Cruise The power recommended to operate the airplane in a Climb Power cruise climb (a continuous, gradual climb) profile. Flight Idle Power The power required to run an engine, in flight, at the lowest speed that will ensure satisfactory engine and systems operation and airplane handling characteristics. SECTION 1 GENERAL ENGINE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS TERMINOLOGY Adjustable The Power Control Lever position selects the minimum Minimum Prop pitch in flight (6° to 12°) when forward of the idle detent. Pitch in flight This pitch can only be reached when the propeller is underspeeding at low power and low airspeed conditions. SECTION 1 GENERAL Py Pressure P3 pressure (after engine compressor) to limit fuel flow during engine acceleration in order to not cause compressor surges. The torque limiter and the N f governor reduce P3 pressure (which is called Py pressure) to limit fuel flow so that the torque and N f limits are not exceeded. SECTION 1 GENERAL WEIGHT AND BALANCE TERMINOLOGY A.O.D. Aft of Datum. The horizontal distance from the reference datum to the center of gravity (C.G.) of an item. Basic Empty Weight Standard empty weight plus optional equipment. Center of Gravity The point at which an airplane would balance if suspended. (C.G.) Its distance from the reference datum is found by dividing the total moment by the total weight of the airplane.

CAUTION ON RUNWAYS WITH POOLS OF STANDING WATER AND/OR POOR BRAKING ACTION IT MAY NOT BE POSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN THE CENTERLINE AND/OR THE CORRECT ALIGNMENT OF THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY IN CONDITIONS OF STRONG CROSSWIND. Page 259 SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES 4.24 FLIGHT IN ICING CONDITIONS Icing conditions can exist when: The Outside Air Temperature (OAT) on the ground and for takeoff, or Total Air Temperature (TAT) in flight, is 10°C or colder, and visible moisture in any form is present (such as clouds, fog or mist with visibility of one mile or less, rain snow, sleet and ice crystals). Page 260 SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES During all icing encounters or times with visible ice accretion on any part of the airframe the flaps must not be extended beyond certain limits. These limits eliminate the possibility of tailplane stall which results in an uncontrolled aircraft pitch down moment. Page 261 SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES The LH side and RH side windshield deice is activated from the overhead DE ICING switch panel by two switches labeled LH WSH and RH WSH respectively, being pushed to ON and the HEAVY/LIGHT switch pushed to either LIGHT or HEAVY depending on the severity of the icing encounter. Page 262 SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES The emergency procedures, concerning failure of the ice protection systems during flight in icing conditions, are provided in Section 3. On departure from icing conditions the inertial separator (INERT SEP) and the propeller deice system (PROP DE ICE) should be kept OPEN and ON respectively until all visible and unprotected areas of the aircraft are observed as being free of ice.

Page 264 SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES 4.25 SEVERE ICING CONDITIONS Severe icing may result from environmental conditions outside of those for which the airplane is certificated. Flight in freezing rain, freezing drizzle, or mixed icing conditions (supercooled liquid water and ice crystals) may result in ice build-up on protected surfaces exceeding the capability of the ice protection system, or may result in ice forming aft of the protected surfaces.

Page 477 SECTION 7-2 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION AIRFRAME GENERAL The airplane is a low wing, T-tail, single engine, retractable landing gear type designed to transport passengers, cargo, or various combinations of both passengers and cargo. Construction is conventional semimonocoque, primarily incorporating aluminum alloy, but composite structures are used in certain areas. Page 478 SECTION 7-2 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION EMPENNAGE The empennage is a T-tail design with the horizontal stabilizer mounted on top of the vertical stabilizer. The aft fuselage is attached to the cabin at the aft pressure bulkhead. The vertical and horizontal stabilizer assemblies are conventional aluminum construction. Page 479 SECTION 7-3 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION FLIGHT CONTROLS GENERAL The flight control system is conventional using push-pull rods and carbon steel cables. Electric trim systems are provided for the aileron, rudder, and elevator. All trim systems can be disconnected in the event of a runaway condition. An aileron/rudder interconnect system is installed to improve lateral stability and turn coordination. Page 480 SECTION 7-3 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION TRIM The aileron, horizontal stabilizer and rudder trim are electrically operated. Aileron and horizontal stabilizer trim operation are controlled by a switch on the outboard horn of each control wheel while rudder trim operation is controlled by a switch located on the Engine Power Control Lever. Page 481 SECTION 7-3 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION A rotation sensor is installed on each of the outer flap screw actuators. These sense the rotation of the flexible shafts and give signals to the FCWU. The FCWU monitors these signals for asymmetrical flexible shaft rotation of more than 20 rotations (caused by a broken inner flap drive shaft). Page 482 SECTION 7-3 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION A FLAP GROUND RESET switch is installed on the maintenance test panel (right sidewall behind the co-pilot seat). The FLAP GROUND RESET switch is only operational on the ground for maintenance purposes. INDICATION / WARNING A three-axis trim position indicator is located on the center console.

Page 485 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION LANDING GEAR GENERAL Refer to Figure 7-4-1, Landing Gear System, for system operation. The landing gear is a conventional tricycle configuration that is extended and retracted using hydraulic pressure produced by an electrically powered hydraulic pump. Landing gear extension and retraction is the only function of the hydraulic system and landing gear operation is completely automatic upon pilot gear selection. Page 486 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION Nose wheel steering is accomplished using the rudder pedals which are mechanically connected to the nosewheel. Additional nosewheel steering is done through differential braking. Use of rudder pedal only will turn the nosewheel ± 12 degrees from center while differential braking will turn the nosewheel ±... Page 487 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION HYDRAULIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The main hydraulic system comprises a power pack located in the hydraulic service bay in the left wing root behind the main spar, a nitrogen charged accumulator in the same location, a landing gear selector valve mounted in the cockpit mechanically linked to the pilots control panel selector handle by a push/pull rod and three actuators, one for each landing gear leg. Page 488 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION Cockpit controls consist of the following - A landing gear selector handle is located on the pilot's lower right panel and facilitates extension or retraction of the landing gear. It acts directly, via a rod, on the landing gear selector valve. Page 489 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION Figure 7-4-1.

Page 493 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION INDICATION/WARNING Extended position indication is provided by micro switches internal to the main landing gear actuators and a proximity switch on the nose landing gear drag link. Retraction position indication is provided by proximity switches on the landing gear doors. Landing gear position is indicated in the cockpit by three dual-indication lights (one for each leg), located to the left of the landing gear selector handle. Page 494 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION EMERGENCY EXTENSION SYSTEM The emergency extension system is required to ensure that the landing gear can be extended and locked after a failure of the main system. This is accomplished by releasing the hydraulic pressure in the actuators by selecting landing gear DOWN via the selector handle. Page 495 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION AIR / GROUND SYSTEM The airplane is equipped with independent weight on wheel detectors, one on each main landing gear. Each weight on wheel signal is generated by a proximity switch. Each proximity switch controls a relay that provides the AIR/GND signal to the different systems. Page 496 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION Failure of a weight on wheel signal, while the airplane is in the air (GND signal provided), will have the following effects on the systems: LH and RH Stick Pusher Stick Pusher is inoperative. Stick Shaker and aural stall Computers warning still operative from the other computer Cabin Pressurization... Page 497 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION BRAKES Refer to Figure 7-4-2, Brake System, for system operation. Aircraft braking is provided by two brake assemblies, one bolted to each main landing gear axle. The brakes are controlled by toe pedals attached to each rudder pedal assembly. Page 498 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION WHEELS AND TIRES The wheels are split-hub type, the main wheels have three fusible plugs which melt when there is too much heat from the brakes. Tubeless tires are installed on the wheels and each wheel has a tire inflation valve and an overinflation safety plug. The main wheels have fairings on the outer hubs which make the wheels aerodynamically smooth when the landing gear is retracted. Page 499 SECTION 7-4 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION Figure 7-4-2.

The aircraft is then flown in a sideslip to touch down initially on one wheel. As soon as one wheel touches, lower the other two to the runway and immediately select either the condition lever to ground idle or the PCL to beta or reverse.

Page 1082 FAA and Transport Canada Holdover Timetables Pilatus recommend that ground de-icing/anti-icing is done with the engine shutdown to minimize fluid ingestion into the engine and bleed air ducting. The ECS switch must remain set to OFF for approximately five minutes after the de- icing/anti-icing procedure has been completed. Page 1083 Various de-icing fluids are commercially available. Clariant fluids were rigorously tested on PC-12 aircraft with no detrimental effect identified. Clariant fluids are therefore recommended by Pilatus for use on PC-12 aircraft. NOTE For de-icing the temperature of all heated fluids should be at least 60°C (140°F) at the nozzle. Page 1084 SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS HEALTH EFFECTS Pilots must be aware of the potential health problems of de-icing/anti-icing fluids to ensure the correct precautions are taken when a de-icing/anti-icing procedure is done, and to better ensure the wellbeing of the passengers and crew.

DE-ICING/ANTI-ICING CAUTION THE APPLICATION OF TYPE II, III OR IV FLUIDS, MAY CAUSE RESIDUES TO COLLECT IN AERODYNAMICALLY QUIET AREAS, CAVITIES AND GAPS. DRIED RESIDUES MAY REHYDRATE AND FREEZE FOLLOWING A PERIOD OF HIGH HUMIDITY AND/OR RAIN CONDITIONS. Page 1088 SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS APPLICATION OF DE-ICING/ANTI-ICING FLUID A. GENERAL Flight crew should supervise the de-icing and anti-icing of the aircraft to ensure proper application of the fluid. When ice, snow or slush is removed from aircraft surfaces, care must be taken to prevent entry and accumulation of the ice, snow or slush in intakes or control surface hinge areas. Page 1089 SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS DE-ICING/ANTI-ICING THE WINGS, TAIL AND FUSELAGE The wings are the main lifting surfaces of the aircraft and must be free of snow and ice to operate efficiently. De-icing/anti-icing of the wings should begin at the leading edge wing tip with the flaps retracted, sweeping in the aft and inboard direction. Page 1090 SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS LANDING GEAR AND WHEEL BAYS DE-ICING The application of de-icing fluid in this area must be kept to a minimum. De-icing fluid must not be directed onto the brakes and wheels. Landing gear and wheel bays must be kept free from a buildup of slush, ice or accumulation of blown snow. Page 1091 SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS NOTE Any forward area from which fluid may blow back onto the windscreen during taxi or take-off must be free of fluid residues prior to departure.

Page 1099 SECTION 10 SAFETY AND OPERATIONAL TIPS PASSENGER BRIEFINGS GENERAL In Sections 3 and 4 there are procedural actions that call for the pilot to brief the passengers. They fall into two categories those forming part of an emergency procedure and the more regular type ones for taxiing prior to takeoff and before landing. Tips for passenger briefings during an emergency cannot be specified as each situation will place a different demand on the pilot.

Aldo Wicki / Pilatus Aircraft Noch ist völlig unklar, warum am Sonntag in Mailand ein Pilatus-Flugzeug drei Minuten nach dem Start vom Flughafen Milano-Linate in ein leerstehendes Bürogebäude abgestürzt ist. Augenzeugen wollen gesehen haben, dass der Motor, also die Propellerturbine, brannte. Laut Medienberichten ist angeblich bereits ein Flugschreiber gefunden worden. Diese Meldung ist aber wohl mit Vorsicht zu geniessen. Denn der PC-12 hat üblicherweise keine sogenannte Blackbox und auch keinen Cockpit-Voice-Recorder an Bord, wie es bei grossen Passagiermaschinen der Fall ist. Deren aufgezeichnete Daten oder Gespräche helfen sonst bei der Aufklärung von Absturzursachen. Fest steht: Der Flugzeugtyp Pilatus PC-12 gilt als sicher. Seine Propellerturbine vom Typ PT6 des Herstellers Pratt & Whitney zählt sogar zu den zuverlässigsten Antrieben weltweit. Allerdings wird der mit bis zu zehn Sitzen ausgestattete PC-12 nur von einer einzigen Turbine angetrieben. Fällt diese aus, muss der Pilot anders als etwa in einer zweimotorigen Maschine unmittelbar eine Notlandung einleiten. Diese ist umso gefährlicher, je tiefer das Fleugzeug ist: Es fehlt die Zeit zum Suchen einer geeigneten Notlandefläche, auf der das Flugzeug im Segelflug aufsetzen könnte. Brand erschwert Ursachenforschung Diese Systeme sind aber bei kleinen Turbopropflugzeugen wie dem PC-12 bis anhin nicht vorgeschrieben. Zudem könnten auch der wohl grosse Zerstörungsgrad und ein nach dem Crash ausgebrochener Brand an der Absturzstelle die Suche nach den Ursachen erschweren. Der Pilot war offenbar ein bekannter deutsch-rumänischer Bauunternehmer und Millionär. Das Flugzeug war in Rumänien registriert. Für den PC-12 ist nur ein Pilot vorgeschrieben, keine Zweiercrew wie etwa in Airlinern. Die Turbopropmaschine gilt seit drei Jahrzehnten als sicheres Flugzeug. Bereits am 31. Mai 1991 hebt erstmals ein PC-12 vom Pilatus-Werkflugplatz in Buochs ab. Ob der zu jener Zeit riskante Plan, ein Reiseflugzeug mit lediglich einer Propellerturbine anzubieten, aufgeht, weiss damals niemand. Denn alle anderen Hersteller setzen auf mindestens zwei Motoren. Aufgrund der legendär hohen Zuverlässigkeit der verwendeten Propellerturbine PT6 sind die Verantwortlichen bei Pilatus aber überzeugt davon, dass ein Triebwerk genügt, was zu wesentlich geringeren Betriebskosten führt. Der Erfolg gibt ihnen recht. Denn mittlerweile sind bis Oktober dieses Jahres mehr als 1800 Exemplare ausgeliefert worden. Einen direkten Wettbewerber in diesem Flugzeugsegment gibt es bis jetzt noch nicht, auch wenn Cessna/Beechcraft ein ebenfalls einmotoriges Konkurrenzmodell mit Namen Beechcraft Denali entwickelt haben, das kurz vor dem Erstflug steht. In Stans ist der PC-12 durch stetige Evolution mittlerweile zur Version PC-12 NGX weiterentwickelt worden. Es gibt ihn auch in einer Variante als Ambulanzflugzeug. Vor allem in Australien beim Royal Flying Doctor Service ist er gefragt. Denn im Outback muss die robuste Turboprop auf unbefestigten Schotterpisten starten und landen können. Vom Porter zum PC-24 Grundstein der zivilen Flugzeuge von Pilatus ist eine ungemein vielseitige Maschine, der PC-6 Porter. Schon am 4. Mai 1959 hebt ein Porter erstmals ab, zunächst mit einem Kolbenmotor, später mit einer Propellerturbine. Vor mehr als 62 Jahren ist er als robustes Flugzeug in Metallbauweise konzipiert. Damals passen bis zu sieben Passagiere oder eine Tonne Fracht hinein. Fast 600 Porter und Turbo Porter entstehen. Die Karriere endet erst 2019 nach 60-jähriger Erfolgsgeschichte. Um mehr Kapazität für den Businessjet PC-24 zu haben, wurde der Bau des Porter vor zwei Jahren eingestellt. Einige seiner bewährten Eigenschaften – etwa das buschpistentaugliche Fahrwerk, eine grosse Frachttüre und nur eine Propellerturbine als Antrieb – bildeten auch die DNA für die Entwicklung des PC-12 vor mehr als dreissig Jahren. Dieser ist aber anders als ein Porter dank seinem Einziehfahrwerk mit mehr als 500 km/h deutlich schneller. Zudem hat der PC-12 eine sogenannte Druckkabine und kann damit oberhalb des Wettergeschehens fliegen. Von 129 Flugzeugen, die Pilatus 2020 auslieferte, sind 82 Exemplare vom Typ PC-12. Die zivile Turbopropmaschine ist damit der unangefochtene Bestseller des Flugzeugbauers aus Stans.
