John,
I saw your question about the P&W PT-6a engine, directed to Chris. I
can't speak for his opinion, but, to my mind, this engine series from
P&W Canada is the most trusted power plant available for turboprop
aircraft, with many years of service, and is constantly being upgraded
for new applications. It is used widely throughout the world.
Its reputation is the reason that Cessna built the single-engine
Caravan. Most commercial pilots would rather stake their lives on a
single PT-6A than on two piston engines. (My opinion, not to be
attributed to ChrisB.)

Chris ......It is interesting to note that the plane is powered by a
Pratt & Whitney Canada engine. Does the Swiss airframe manufacturer
not provide its own engine ?

Yes, that’s a lovely machine, Jim. One flew into my place of work,
RAF Wyton, several years ago, just sneaking in before the fog rolled
in (I had landed only a few minutes before). And here is one
displaying at my local airfield, Little Gransden:

A business airplane with class! The Pilatus PC-12 is truly a
go-anywhere machine.
