KCAC Aviation has delivered its first PC-12 NGX, the new single-engine\nturboprop from Swiss manufacturer Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. The PC-12 NGX was\ndelivered to a customer in Oklahoma, marking another milestone in KCAC\u2019s\n54-year history in the aviation business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NGX has been highly sought after since being introduced\nlast fall at the 2019 National Business Aviation Association-Business Aviation\nConvention & Exhibition in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to be part of the next chapter of the PC-12\nstory,\u201d said Mark Riley, KCAC Aviation\u2019s General Manager. \u201cYou don\u2019t get to\nintroduce a brand-new aircraft very often, so we\u2019re especially proud to be one\nof the first U.S. deliveries among the Pilatus Authorized Sales Center Network.\nPilatus has definitely taken the NGX\u2019s predecessor, the PC-12 NG, to a whole new\nlevel with the NGX.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Already considered one of the best single-engine turboprops\nin its class, the NGX commands attention thanks to upgrades throughout,\nincluding a more powerful PT6E-67XP engine from Pratt & Whitney Canada,\nsmarter avionics and a complete redesign of the cabin interior. The NGX also\nboasts a breakthrough for turboprops with the first full authority digital\nengine control, which eases pilot workload and provides greater control and\nresponsiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The eye-catching interior is brought to life by the expert\nartisans at BMW Designworks. Inspired by the modern design of the PC-24 Super\nVersatile Jet, the new executive seats on the PC-12 NGX feature full recline\ncapabilities, taller seat backs and adjustable lumbar support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Passengers will especially appreciate the expanded headroom,\nleg space and upgraded cooling system. The cabin also has 10 percent larger\nwindows allowing more light to stream inside and greater visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe NGX has something to offer for everyone, including\nseveral industry firsts that keep it a step ahead of the competition,\u201d said\nMichael Kolman, KCAC\u2019s Regional Director of Pilatus Sales for Iowa, Kansas,\nMissouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma \u201cThe new electronic engine controls are a pilot\u2019s\ndream, and passengers will enjoy the more modern and spacious cabin. For versatility,\nsafety and comfort, nothing in its class can match the NGX.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With more than eight million flight hours and 1,750 aircraft\nin operation since it was first introduced a quarter century ago, the PC-12 is\nthe preferred choice of pilots worldwide. The NGX is the third generation of\naircraft designed on the reliable PC-12 airframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
