The other catch with a PC-12 is that you can't fly direct across Bass Strait on commercial operations ( which is what the RFDS are doing by being contractors to Victorian Ambulance Service) because of gliding distance in case of an engine failure and therefore have to plan via King or Flinders Island.
The RFDS in SA if they do a job to Tasmania, plan to cross northern Bass Strait via Cape Otway to Cape Wickham and then plan King Island to Smithton.
