Sorry mate been busy

Our pc12 data

BEW 2875 in 10 seat
0 Fuel 4100
Ramp 4760
Take off 4740
Landing 4500
Max Fuel 2703 lbs
Planed fuel burn is 450/hr.
Tas 245 kts at 690 deg egt. Can crz at 720 which will give you app 255.

At F170 to F240 burn is app 400/hr and at F300 it is app 320. This is were we can get the range.

It has never let us down, with 100% despach, and our direct op costs are app $540/hr. Only $100 up on the 402.

We can carry 7 Star group guys with all there gear 500 nm. With the net in the combo set up and 7 seats, have heaps of room for all there gear which is large and heavy. Loading with the rear door is fast and easy.

All in all a great aircraft. We have Garmin 530's and EFB, you just sit back and watch it happen.

Yes it is a single engine aircraft, but our dept did a big risk assement on this and it can up trumps. We, at the start were a bit worried as we wanted a twin, F406 or B200 but they were well out of our buget, and the govt would only buy new, but now have 1000 hrs and 2 years of ops and it has been able to do anything that we have chucked at it.

All staff are happy to fly in it, and a fun AC to fly.
