15. Discover the Art of Air Travel: Pilatus PC-12NGX Flight Review

Many people have been asking me about doing a flight review of the Pilatus PC-12, and finally, I got my hands on this aircraft for a detailed review. Join us on a true adventure with the Pilatus PC-12NGX Flight Review!
We'll start in the pilot's seat, showing you the normal takeoff, smooth cruising, and kiss landing that the PC-12NGX offers. But we won't stop there.
Switching to the passenger experience, we'll explore the comfy cabin, including seats that can fully recline, transforming into a flat position for ultimate relaxation.
But we're not here to just say everything's perfect. We'll talk about some things you might want to know. Like the speed - it cruises around 260 knots, which is pretty slow from my perspective. And the cost - the PC-12NGX comes with a price tag of nearly 6.5 million, which is comparable to options like the HondaJet or the Citation CJ2+. Would you prefer to buy a slow single-engine turboprop with a highly comfortable cabin or a faster light jet with higher speed but less comfort? Your choice.
Get ready for a full picture where we mix the excitement of flying with the real talk about the Pilatus PC-12NGX. We'll show you what's awesome, what's worth knowing, and how this plane really shapes up.

    Way too much audio stepping all Ober everything. The radio volume needed to be much lower so we follow what's going on in the cockpit. Cool plane though.

    Very good presentation, thank you. This plane is the Swiss army knife of aviation. You can get to places with it that no one else can. It has unique STOL capabilities in its category. Its operating costs per person are the lowest in the category. The TBM-960 can do almost the same, only in a smaller way, a little cheaper and a little faster. Or another secret tip: Epic E1000GX, the best choice in terms of price/value ratio.

    Everything in aviation is a trade off. If you want something...you have to give up something else. The Pilatus is not the fastest...but it's not the slowest either. What you get though by having a single engine turboprop is low cost of ownership and maintenance. What Pilatus has done is give the owner a mid-size jet cabin with a stand alone lav. PLUS...the ability to haul ALL the gear you want and not compromise on fuel. For the comfort, peace of mind and low cost...I'm ok with not breaking the sound barrier. The Honda Jet is too small and the payload is lower, (two engines means twice the fuel and weight and the sacrifice is payload and range.) I'd rather have a plane that can haul all 6-7 family or friends and all of our gear with full tanks! Taking a little longer to get there is fine with me. It's still a hell of a lot faster and more comfortable than any piston or other turboprops...with the exception of the TBM. But, the TBM with its 320 TAS...is small, has no lav and cannot compare to the Pilatus for longer trips where passenger comfort is needed. The Honda Jet is small like the TBM, more expensive and costly to own with the same comfort problem. The only advantage is it does have a lav.

    I have subscribed and enjoy the videos, but Andrey is just arrogant and rude. I have watched enough of these videos that I know that it’s not just a fluke. You cant tell him anything because he knows it all. When the Captain pointed out another plane while taxiing, Andrey rudely told him that he saw the plane. And he gets ahead of others because he doesnt listen because he is smarter than everyone else
