The Pilatus PC-12/45 is a single-engine turboprop passenger, cargo and special missions aircraft designed by Pilatus Flugzeugwerke AG.
It made its first flight in 1991 and is subsequently produced until today. This model, the /45 variant featuring an increased maximum takeoff weight of 4500 kg, was introduced in 1996.
Status of the FlightGear Model
The FlightGear model of this aircraft was started in early 2024 by Bea Wolf (D-ECHO). It's far from finished though flyable and featuring a quite well external and cockpit 3d model. If you would like to help, especially in the areas highlighted below, feel free to contact Bea via the Forum or Discord.
| Area | Status |
|---|---|
| External 3D Model | Basic shape accurately recreated from best-available material. Details missing, especially for flaps mechanism, antennas and lights
More Liveries would be nice, help welcome. |
| Interior 3D Model | Basic shape done, but no interior "furniture" yet. Recreating the multiple available variants including passenger, cargo and special missions would be great, along with detailed and exact payload options for each variant. Non-textured
Help welcome. |
| Cockpit 3D Model | Instrument Panel quite accurately done, details to be added.
Side Panels and Circuit Breakers are still very basic and incomplete. Cockpit seats, window opening mechanism and minor details to be added, help welcome. |
| Instruments | Almost all instruments are modelled, 3D models are typically detailed and realistic.
Electronic instruments (EADI, EHSI, MFD, ...) are still very incomplete, help welcome. |
| Flight Dynamics Model (FDM) | Flyable, but very basic. Help welcome. |
| Systems | Help welcome!
