Pilatus PC-12 Family
The Pilatus PC-12 is a pressurized single-engine turboprop family developed for passenger, business, cargo, medical, government, and special-mission work. A large standard cargo door, reconfigurable flat-floor cabin, and ability to use short or unpaved runways let the design serve both executive transport and remote operations. The family has evolved through the original PC-12, NG, NGX, and PRO variants, while modified U-28A aircraft extend the airframe into military utility and reconnaissance service.

- Variant Notes
- Pilatus service literature identifies PT6A-67B and PT6A-67P installations across the legacy PC-12 fleet; the canonical node is the existing PT6A family and no exact PT6A subvariant is invented for the broad family record.
- Name
- PC-12 legacy PT6A option set
- Notes
- This configuration covers the PT6A-powered PC-12/41, PC-12/45, PC-12/47 and PC-12/47E/NG subseries. The PC-12 NGX/PRO PT6E-67XP installation is a distinct sibling and remains unmodeled until a canonical PT6E identity exists.

- Variant Notes
- Pilatus identifies the PC-12 NGX as a single-engine turboprop powered by the exact PT6E-67XP; one airframe main engine is represented for the NGX/PRO branch without inferring a finer mounting location.
- Name
- PC-12 NGX/PRO PT6E-67XP installation
- Notes
- Exact alternative for the third-generation PC-12 NGX/PRO branch only; earlier PC-12 variants remain separate and unmodeled in this packet.
