There is a recognised cloud break procedure for the PC-12 with engine failed. It is quite spectacular to watch as it involves a high energy descent giving the aircraft enough inertia to manoeuvre once visual. No, I have never flown one but have a friend in the RFDS who does and have also discussed this with one of the Northern Territory police pilots after he had been practising the manoeuvre. Even the early model PC-12s' had a 40nm ring marked on their GPS which showed all airfields and the aircraft could be configured for a glide to arrive at a certain altitude above that field (forget what it was but think 2,000') where a cloud break procedure could be performed.
