PC12's in the UK?

[Saxon]

Hi Guys,

Just curious; anyone happen to know if, and where, there are any PC12 operators in the UK?

Cheers,

Hi I'm not sure of any operators but I know there is one based at Goodwood, G-ILMD.

Do a search for:

G-CCWY s/n 568
G-IJIM s/n 490
G-ILMD s/n 412
G-MATX s/n 682
G-OLTT s/n 648
G-PVPC s/n 632

N234RG s/n 520 @ Belfast City
N412MD s/n 412 @ Jersey
N476D s/n 476 @ Bournemouth
N496DT s/n 496 @ Bournemouth

VP-BLS s/n 176 @ Fairoaks

Don't know if they're still involved but I believe that Meridian Aviation down at Bournemouth are an agent for the aircraft (pretty sure they used to be, anyway). They might be able to help.
Cheers,

Sorry to be such a pedant, but you listed CN 412 twice (its currently G-ILMD, its ex N412MD)

Also N496DT is now in Denmark as OY-SCI

Very nice PC12 in the shed at LBA!
Think it's privately operated though.
up there later - will get the reg.

You're not pedant, you're probably helpful.

That would be G-CCWY

PC12 in the U.K ?
What for ?

For sightseeing tour maybe...

PC12 on an European AOC

To my knowledge, it is impossible to operate a PC-12 commercially on an JAR-OPS AOC. Single engine commercial/pax/ifr is just not an option.

Anyone any ideas/experience ?

[FL480]

that was the meaning of my above post indeed...

By the way, VFR rules in U.K. are not as restrictive as in some other E.U. countries. Am i wrong ?

[EESDL]

I think you will find it is used as a company aircraft!
No one asked for PC-12s on an AOC............

Errr....not anymore. Meridian sadly went into receivership last year.

Meridian Aviation

That's really sad. Meridian Aviation was fantastic. If you go to the pilatus website www.pilatus-aircraft.com and fill in the contacts form they'll send you some info. I've been to the factory in Stans and seen the PC12 being made. They are normally very quick to reply.

PC12s are fantastic aircraft, having flown in one in the UK Good luck!
