Dixons Cider is correct - pc12 restart attempts are limited to one with the single battery installed. Use up all your power and you lose efis+gyro instruments and flap - flapless landing uses 80% more runway than flaps 40. Gear is ok - it will fall out below 110kts.

So am I correct in assuming, based off those checklists that there are no trouble checks/attempts to restart the engine - like a piston engine?
The POH has trouble checks (time permitting) for Power Control Lever failure (eg due bleed air leak) and the use of the Manual Override Lever - which basically acts directly on the fuel metering valve and is very touchy - you lose torque and Ng governing and landing distance required doubles! There are also airstart procedures.

Of course this is of no use with an oily windscreen as is the case here. Your only option is feather it and glide. At least you know your option.

Mainframe - thanks for the 208 info. You did, however forget the third advantage of the pc12 - it isn't fugly. Swiss and sweet
(not to be confused with the wamby-pamby who just won the tennis)
