crystal ball, I couldn't agree more about the PC12. The RFDS will have this aircraft come up and bite them on the Arse!!!
It's a great plane, I've had a look around one but having a PT6 fail on me once in a kingair I was mighty glad for engine number two still making the correct sounds on the other wing.

With recent Press about safety with Ansett( I would still fly Ansett over QF any day) why is the RFDS taking the safety out of the operations where the pax are less helpless, in some cases, than the normal RPT pax?

"your 26g high impact crew seating" is a selling point of the PC12 but pitty your dead after the 15G stage of the accident.
