Description
1997 Pilatus PC-12/45 — Proven Workhorse, Exceptional Value
A rare opportunity to own a proven, highly maintained Pilatus PC-12 for about $1 million.
This 1997 PC-12 has spent nearly 30 years doing exactly what these aircraft were built to do—working hard, performing reliably, and providing exceptional utility and versatility. With approximately 3,000 hours remaining before the scheduled 20,000-hour Life Extension Program, this aircraft offers substantial usable life before that major event becomes due.
The Pilatus Maintenance Manual calls for the Life Extension Program at 20,000 hours. Current estimates for the program are approximately $500,000–$700,000, depending on scope and market conditions at the time of accomplishment.
For the buyer who understands the PC-12 platform and is looking for a capable, proven aircraft without spending well over $3 million, this airplane represents an excellent value proposition. It has already proven itself as a true workhorse, and there is still a tremendous amount of productive life remaining before the next major life-extension milestone.
Additional maintenance and aircraft information is available upon request, including a detailed link with further information on the aircraft and its maintenance history.
A well-maintained, proven PC-12 at an attractive price point—ready for its next chapter.Specifications
