If the TBM 910 and 930 are the personal hot rods of the single-engine turboprop world, then Swiss manufacturer Pilatus’ PC–12NG is the stately multipurpose utility vehicle. With a huge cabin that can be set up in a roomy, six-place executive configuration, as an 11-seat high-density shuttle, or a seats-free strictly cargo hauler, the airplane appeals to a wide customer base—and its 1,400-plus sales prove it. Its forward airstair door, combined with a massive aft cargo door, allows operators to board even the largest loads. Fractional operator PlaneSense has a fleet of 35 PC–12NGs.
