Pilatus Aircraft announced the delivery of its first PC-12 PRO aircraft to a U.S. customer. The new owners, Ravi and Pheroza Arcot, received the aircraft that represents the latest evolution of the world’s best-selling single-engine turboprop at the company’s North American headquarters and completion facility at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport (KBJC) in Broomfield, Colorado.

This delivery signifies an important development for the PC-12 PRO in the U.S., one of the most dynamic and demanding aviation markets in the world. It also represents a commitment to operators who expect the highest levels of performance, safety, and versatility.

Ravi Arcot stated, “The PC-12 PRO pairs the incredible reliability and legacy of the Pratt & Whitney PT6 with the cutting-edge capabilities of the G3000 PRIME avionics. This powerful combination was key to my purchase decision. In addition to our charitable flight endeavors, I’m looking forward to many wonderful family adventures with our aircraft.”

The Arcots’ new aircraft is serial number 3005 and will be based in the Northeastern U.S. as it joins the other PC-12s flying missions around the country.

Thomas Bosshard, President & CEO of the Pilatus subsidiary in the United States said, “At Pilatus, delivering value means building aircraft that stand the test of time. The PC-12 PRO reflects everything our customers have taught us about what matters most: safety, simplicity, and trust. We’ve combined proven performance with cutting-edge avionics and safety features so that every flight delivers what matters most – absolute confidence.”
