Pilatus viser sitt nye fly på NBAA - AINalert video

Det er noe med disse sveitsiske flyene; de er bygget som en klokke. Du kan gå kloss innpå dem og se en finish som er fantastisk. Interiør like så. Ikke nok med det men vi husker Porter og Turbo Porter fra Vietnam krigen. De tålte mye juling. OK da; OV-10 Bronco var ikke verst den heller...(Red.)                  FOCUS ON MRO - November 2, 2016

Pilatus PC-24 Flies into Orlando for NBAA 2016 With the Pilatus PC-24 flight-test aircraft P02 on display (today only) at NBAA, Pilatus is revealing more details about the $8.9 million light twinjet's certification path. The PC-24 will initially be certified to land on pavement, with approval for unimproved field operations coming shortly thereafter, PC-24 vice president André Zimmerman told AIN. He said Pilatus has already amassed considerable data on how the aircraft behaves on contaminated runways thanks to recent testing on the flooded-runway course at Cranfield, UK. Pilatus will begin work on unimproved landings in the spring. To date, the flight-test program has been nominal. Flight-test engineer Guy Lynch reports that integration of the Honeywell Apex avionics is going well. The avionics are key to the PC-24's ease of single-pilot operation. Test pilot Theddy Spichtig believes that PC-12 pilots will not have difficulty transitioning to the PC-24’s avionics or flying workload. “We actually made things simpler and added more automation. There shouldn't be more workload,” he said. Spichtig also reported that the PC-24 is “easy to fly,” with approach speeds between 95 and 100 knots. “The flaps provide a good margin to maneuver on the glidepath and you have nice stable speed control. Handling-wise it is really not a challenge."
