Comfort, convenience, and luxury.<\/h2>\n

\"SingleThese are just some of\u00a0the advantages<\/a>\u00a0of flying on a private plane.<\/h3>\n

However, not all private aircraft are made equal. Many people who are not familiar with flying private assume that a jet is the best option for their private charter needs. However, in many cases a jet is actually not ideal because of costs and other limitations.<\/p>\n

At Tampa Bay Air Charter,\u00a0the Pilatus PC-12<\/a>\u00a0is our preferred aircraft. That’s because it’s one of the most powerful yet efficient planes of its type. In this article, we’ll explain why. Read on to find out all about the Pilatus PC-12 specs.<\/p>\n

A Breakdown of the Pilatus PC-12 Specs<\/h2>\n

Here’s what this versatile aircraft has to offer. Take a ride with us through its specs below.<\/p>\n

Size<\/h3>\n

The Pilatus PC-12 has an exterior height of 14 feet, a length of 47 feet 3 inches, and a wingspan of 53 feet 3 inches.<\/p>\n

The pressurized passenger cabin is 330 cubic feet in size, and there’s 40-cubic-feet space for baggage that’s accessible while you’re in flight.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/h3>\n

The Pilatus PC-12 is powered by a single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 turboprop engine. This is considered an extremely safe and reliable engine, and even\u00a0safer than twin-engine aircraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are\u00a0several statistics<\/a>\u00a0to prove that a single-engine aircraft like this one provides superior safety. For example, in cases of accident related to engine failure, fatalities are four times more likely to occur with twin-engines. This is because unbalanced thrust makes twin-engine aircraft much more difficult to handle.<\/p>\n

When you fly in a PC-12, you don’t have to worry about accidents. Engine failure is extremely rare, and when it does occur, this aircraft can easily be landed safely without incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t
