The Pilatus PC-12 in brief

The Pilatus PC-12 is a single-engine turboprop with a large cabin and a rear cargo door, flown by owners, charter operators, medical services and freight operators.

Versions run from the early PC-12 to the PC-12/47 and the PC-12 NG and NGX, with newer avionics and engines on the later aircraft.

135 Pilatus PC-12 listings are for sale across the sites Sprinkle reads as of Nov 12, 2026, built 1981–2025.

The middle half were built 2005–2018.

How the Pilatus PC-12 performs

The PC-12 carries a large cabin from short and unpaved strips on a single Pratt & Whitney PT6. It is slower than jets but reaches airports they can’t.

By the catalog, the fastest variant cruises at 232 knots.

The longest book range across its variants is 2,260 nautical miles: still air, no reserves.

It seats up to 10 passengers.

Buying a Pilatus PC-12

Engine program enrollment, time to the next hot section and overhaul, and the avionics generation set much of the asking price. Interior configuration varies with the aircraft’s past use.

The middle half of US-dollar asks run $3,312,500–$4,933,750, around a median of $4,237,500, from 14 priced listings. Asking prices, not sales.

The middle half of those that publish airframe time show 2,175–5,256 hours, from 81 listings.

Before an offer, check

  • Engine hot section and overhaul timing, and whether an engine program transfers.
  • Use history: medical, freight or private, and its effect on the cabin and airframe.
  • Propeller overhaul status.
  • A pre-buy inspection by a mechanic who knows the type, chosen by you, not the seller.
  • Complete logbooks for the airframe, engines and propellers, with any gaps explained.
  • Damage history and any repairs, against the logbooks and the registry record.
  • Engine time against the overhaul interval, and the shop that did the last overhaul.
