HH I'm sure that was said "Tounge in Cheek"....
On an average return flight from PD to JT, the PC 12 takes about 30 -40 minutes longer than the B200 did...Slower in climb (both R.O.C and IAS and cruise).
Perhaps we should use the term "One Engine-Out Performance" rather than Single-Engine Climb Performance.....Think the B200 might have a slight advantage.
Not saying the PC-12 doesnt have its good points, it surely does, but is not the best option for Aeromed in terms of safety, particularly at night/IMC.
Still, the bean counters assure us that it is well and truly cheaper to operate these than the B200's.

Put simply its a Risk Vs Cost exercise and the ones conducting it will probably never have their asses strapped into it.
