Pilatus appears at FoS Air

Amongst the aircraft on display is the Pilatus PC-12. This business aircraft flies for up to 1800 miles at 320 mph and at 30,000 feet and can operate from small airfields and short grass runways. This makes it a versatile, practical aircraft and perfect for Goodwood Aerodrome! 

Since 1994 over 40 of the PC-12 NG turboprop aircraft have been sold in the UK. Its turboprop engine makes it fast (cruise speed is over 300 mph) and cheaper to operate, it can carry up to 9 people and can be loaded with pallets from a forklift due to its rear cargo door. It has a range of 1500 miles with full fuel load, passengers and cargo (known as useful load).  

It is also capable of flying in and out of short, grass runways ensruing it's not restricted to larger airports.  In many countries, this versatility makes the PC-12 NG ideal for flying doctor operations. The other popular feature of the PC-12 NG is that it has a toilet on board!
