Is the PILATUS PC-12 NGX covered by these documents?
The documents name the PC-12/47E, not the PILATUS PC-12 NGX. SB 45-030 does reference an NGX pilot guide. Confirm applicability by serial number: the AMM covers MSN 1720 and 2001-UP, and SB 45-030 covers MSN 1720 and 2001 thru 2476.
What range and speed does the PILATUS PC-12 NGX offer?
The registry gives only family-wide maxima for the PC-12 line, not NGX-specific figures. These are up to 2260 nm range, 232 kt cruise and 35000 ft service ceiling. Check the aircraft's own flight manual for NGX values.
What software item should I verify on a PILATUS PC-12 NGX?
Verify whether SB 45-030 (Primus APEX Build 12.7.2) has been done. It is mandatory at the next annual for affected PC-12/47E serial numbers. It requires an AFM TR 32 insert in the POH and a logbook entry.

Safety notes
- The AMM lists unscheduled inspections after hard landing, severe turbulence, flap overspeed, propeller sudden stoppage or impact, and lightning strike. Check the logbook for these events.
- Further AMM unscheduled inspections cover tail-down damage, nose landing gear overturning, VMO, VLO and VLE exceedance, and flight through volcanic ash or smoke.
- Do not install pre-bulletin parts on an aircraft that has SB 45-030 done. The bulletin says its parts are one-way interchangeable.
