The PC12 is a great Aeromed platform in practical terms although it is just a matter of time before an engine failure occurs where the luck is not on the side of the crew.

B200 glide ratio is 2nm per 1000ft height loss.

If you contact the ground at night anywhere other than an airfield you need a lot of luck to walk away. There are creeks, rocks, trees, ditches, hills, towers etc all waiting to greet the unfortunate.
