INTRODUCTION
Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. was founded in 1939 and is located in Stans, Switzerland. Pilatus is the largest and
most experienced single engine turboprop manufacturer in the world.
Pilatus Aircraft enjoys a history of aviation excellence that covers both civilian and military markets. This
history includes the design and production of high performance trainers, utility aircraft and most recently,
the PC-12. The PC-12 is Pilatus's most recent move into corporate aviation and has been enthusiastically
received. As deliveries have grown over the years, so has the PC-12's reputation. It is refined, versatile,
and ultimately the most compelling choice of any aircraft in and around its class.
The PC-12 is a powerful combination of size, speed, economy and advanced design that allows the PC-12
to dominate where other aircraft struggle to compete. The PC-12's power and efficiency come from the
Pratt and Whitney PT6A turboprop engine. Combined with the Swiss-engineered airframe it is able to offer
a cruise speed of 270 knots and direct operating costs of around $300.00 per hour. With its large pressurized
cabin and seating from 6 to 7 passengers, it offers anything from a perfect airborne conference room to
a large and versatile freight hauler with a cabin of 330 cubic feet and a cargo door that measures 53 x 52
inches.
The PC-12 demonstrates wide opportunities for corporate, air ambulance, cargo, and regional work. It is a
true Swiss army knife of the aviation industry.
On behalf of Flight1 Software and the PC-12 team members, I invite you to experience the Flight1
Software PC-12 for FSX and thank you for your continued patronage.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The procedures listed in this section are taken directly from the actual Pilatus PC-12 Pilot’s Operating
Handbook. Although we have designed the Flight1 Software Pilatus PC-12 for FSX to resemble and
function as closely as possible the real PC-12, it is not designed as a training device. It’s possible that
some checklist procedures listed may not be accomplished in this simulation.
General
The recommended action to be taken in case of failure or in emergency simulations is contained in this section. Some
situations require rapid action, leaving little time to consult the emergency procedures. Prior knowledge of these
procedures and a good understanding of the aircraft system is a prerequisite for safe aircraft handling.
Know your aircraft and be thoroughly familiar with important emergency procedures.
The emergency procedures use the terms — "Land as soon as possible" and "Land as soon as practical". For
the purpose of these procedures the meanings are as follows:
l Land as soon as possible - Land without delay at the nearest airport where a safe approach and
landing is reasonable assured.
l Land as soon as practical - Landing airport and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot.
Extended flight beyond the nearest suitable airport is not recommended.

PERFORMANCE CHARTS
The performance charts listed in this section are taken directly from the actual PC-12 Pilot’s Operating
Handbook. Although we have taken great pains to ensure that the Flight1 Software PC-12 for FSX flies
as closely to the real thing as possible, in some cases performance of the sim aircraft may not match
exactly the performance of the real aircraft due to programming limitations in Flight Simulator.
General
This section contains the required performance data for airplane operation. The performance information
presented in this section is derived from actual flight test data corrected to standard day conditions and
analytically expanded for the different parameters such as weight, altitude, temperature, etc.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE
General
This section contains the information required to determine the Basic Empty Weight and Moment of the
aircraft, and calculate aircraft loading for various flight operations. A sample loading form is provided.
To achieve the performance designed for the aircraft it must be flown with approved weight and center of
gravity limits. It is the responsibility of the pilot in command to make sure that the aircraft does
not exceed the maximum weight limits and is loaded within the center of gravity range before
takeoff.
