They envisioned a single-engine turboprop aircraft that could handle a multitude of roles. With this vision, they embarked on the creation of the PC-12. The first prototype of this versatile aircraft took to the skies on May 31, 1991, marking a pivotal moment in its journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come 1994, the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation put its stamp of approval on the PC-12. But Pilatus Aircraft didn&#8217;t stop there. They kept the pushing the envelope, introducing new models of the PC-12 and earning more certifications for the PC-12\/45, PC-12\/47, and PC-12\/47E variants over the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-journey-from-manufacturing-to-market\"><strong><strong><strong>The Cost of Owning a Pilatus PC-12<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost per unit for the latest Pilatus PC-12 NGX is approximately <strong>US $6 million<\/strong>, with the second-hand market having various pricing depending on mileage and condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-journey-from-manufacturing-to-market\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>The Manufacturer: Pilatus Aircraft Ltd<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilatus-aircraft.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.pilatus-aircraft.com\/en\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pilatus Aircraft Ltd<\/a>., based in Stans, Switzerland, has produced world-class aircraft since 1939.
