Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The PC-24 test flight program is well underway and we are pleased with initial results. The PC-24 flies entirely as expected and we are confident of our ability to achieve, or even exceed, the guaranteed performance. We have identified some teething problems, of course, and that is entirely normal: the purpose of a prototype is to pinpoint areas requiring early attention in order to remedy them as soon as possible. And we take pride in testing to the limit so that we can deliver a Pilatus aircraft of uncompromising quality to our customers."
