1. Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to express guidelines for normal single pilot operation of the Pilatus PC12,
from planning a flight, through shut-down upon completion of the flight. This is not meant to be either a
replacement for, or supplement to, the Pilot Operating Handbook. Pilots flying this aircraft are expected to
familiarize themselves with the guidelines contained herein and apply them as appropriate to flight
operations.
This operations manual is not intended to supersede or replace the FARs or any manufacturers
operating handbook. Some redundancy may exist, however, in order to stress operational procedures or
regulatory limitations.

determining if the aircraft is legal for flight operation. In the event that the MEL is not met, the local
responsible FSDO shall be contacted to provide necessary permission for ferry flight to maintenance.
3,3
Weight and Balance Documentation
Weight and Balance Documentation specific to the aircraft shall be maintained and copies kept with the
aircraft. As changes are made to configuration, Weight and Balance baselines shall be recomputed and
shall become the new baseline for pre-flight calculation.
Weight and Balance shall be verified every 5 years by weighing the aircraft in conformance with the
Manufacturers approved procedure.
3.4
Inspection Compliance
Aircraft shall be maintained according to Pilatus suggested maintenance intervals. For aircraft S/N xxx,
maintenance intervals shall be 100 hours, with a 10% excess allowance; however, any excess shall be
subtracted from the next 100 hour interval. FAA required annual inspections shall qualify as 100 hour
inspections, and restart the inspection cycle.
3.5
Safety and AD Compliance
All Airworthiness Directives will be complied with within the specified period, or the aircraft shall not be
flown until compliance is achieved. All Service Bulletins and Service Letters shall be assessed for their
safety impact, and all such Bulletins and Letters of a safety of-operation-nature shall be complied with as

3.7
Electronic Navigation Databases
The owner maintains subscriptions for electronic navigation databases used for the on-board GPS
systems and Multi-function Display, as well as for Destination Direct flight planning software used in flight
operations. The pilot-in-command should familiarize themselves with the locations and status of each
electronic database prior to each flight.
3.8
Other Requirements Over Water & International flight
All over-water flights of greater than 40 miles require marine survival equipment on board. This minimally
will include a life jacket for each passenger and crew member, a raft with a capacity suitable for the full
passenger and crew load, a hand held battery powered aviation frequency radio transceiver and batteries,
a hand held battery powered GPS receiver and batteries, and a battery powered flashlight and batteries.
International operations shall be accomplished with caution in mind toward the safety and security of the
aircraft while unattended on the ground.
Page 7

2/19/2013
4. Planning Procedures
4.1
Pilot Readiness/Fitness
Before undertaking any flight, the pilot-in-command must assess their readiness for flight taking into
account their physiological and mental health to perform flight operations.
Physiological health is impacted by a number of factors including lack of sleep, inadequate exercise, time
elapsed since the last meal and consumption of alcohol. Pilots are responsible for assessing these and
other factors in evaluating their suitability for flight operations.
Mental health is critical to maintain a high level of alertness and awareness of flight operations. Pilots
should not conduct flight operations when under high levels of stress or fatigue.
4.2
Flight Planning
The success of every flight begins with thorough flight planning. Pilots should ensure that adequate time
is set aside for flight planning well in advance of planned flight operations. Weather conditions and
forecasts should be monitored at least 2 days in advance of planned long-distance flights so that a
complete picture of weather conditions can be built in the mind of the pilot. Pilots should use all available
weather resources including the Weather Channel and services such as DUATS, DTN Weather Services
etc. as well as FAA Weather Briefing facilities via FSS or the Internet.
Flights will be conducted under FAR part 91 for day/night VFR/IFR operations taking into account the
recommendations below. Flights to unfamiliar locations or to locations in areas of intensive air traffic
(such as the Los Angeles Basin) should be planned and conducted under IFR flight plans. Flights to
locations over 200 miles distant from the point of departure should be planned and conducted under IFR
flight plans regardless of weather conditions.
Flights will be planned using a current weather briefing and Destination Direct flight planning software,
which should be used to print out a detailed navigation log and planned weight & balance manifest prior to
each flight.
4.3
4.3.1
Weather Considerations
Departure
Weather at the point of departure should always provide adequate minimums for a return to the airport
using an FAA approved Instrument Approach Procedure (IAP) as available. Before takeoff, the pilot-incommand should insure that one of the EFIS navigation pointers is set to the departure point in case an
emergency immediately after takeoff requires expedited return for landing.
Departure from airports without an approved FAA IAP should only be made when weather conditions at
the point of departure meet VFR minimums (1000 ceiling and 3 mile visibility).
4.3.2
En-route
Page 8

2/19/2013
Flight planning should take into account the big picture. Prior to flight, the PIC should familiarize with
current and forecast en-route weather with consideration of what-if planning. What-if planning should
consider location of areas of VFR weather, mountainous regions and areas of intense weather activity.
Flight planning should be performed with a backup plan in mind should weather or other situations require
a change in flight path or destination.
Flights should be planned to avoid areas of reported or forecast severe turbulence, icing or convective
activity.
The PIC must be familiar with the operation of weather detection and avoidance equipment including
radar, StormScope, and DataLink weather reporting systems. Cruising altitudes should be chosen so that
to the maximum extent possible the aircraft should travel above weather systems.
4.3.3
Destination
Weather minimums at the planned destination should be forecast to be at least 300 above FAA published
minimums for the IAP to be used at the destination for the period one hour before arrival to one hour after
arrival. When forecast weather is less than 2000 ceiling, 3 miles visibility within the period one hour
before arrival to one hour after arrival, an alternate airport must be planned and filed. Weather at the
planned alternate must also be forecast to be 300 above the minimums required by the FAA for the
airport to be designated as an alternate.
For operations at night or reduced (but still VFR) visibility, the PIC should plan and request an appropriate
IAP at the destination airport; ILS approaches should be flown whenever possible (even in VFR
conditions) as they provide both course and altitude guidance to the runway.
Circle to land approaches should only be used when the weather meets VFR minimums at the destination
airport. Night time circle to land operations should be avoided.
Flights to airports served with only an ADF (no GPS overlay) approach should have weather minimums
forecast to be at least 500 higher than FAA published minimums and must be flown using the GPS for
navigation.
4.4
Fuel
The PIC should plan to load the aircraft with adequate fuel for the planned flight operation considering
FAA required fuel reserves appropriate to VFR or IFR flights, but not less than enough fuel to fly to the
destination, fly the planned approach procedure, execute the missed approach procedure, climb to
10,000 AGL, fly 150 miles to an alternative airport, and fly the approach procedure at that alternative
airport. At airports with sufficient runway length (taking into account airport elevation), the PIC should
load the maximum amount of fuel consistent with weight and balance limitations.
4.5
Weight and Balance
A weight and balance calculation should be performed before each flight taking into account fuel, number
of passengers and baggage to be loaded onto the aircraft.
Page 9

2/19/2013
4.6
Field Length/Surface Analysis
Prior to flight, the PIC should calculate the required takeoff and landing distances given the forecast
weather and estimated weight of the aircraft at departure and arrival. The Pilatus POH should be used to
facilitate this calculation. Runway length for either departure or landing should be at least 120% of the
calculated distance for dry runway conditions and 130% for wet runway conditions.
Operations to non-paved runways should be avoided whenever practical. Landing distance requirements
should be increased to 130% of the calculated landing distance for unimproved runways.
4.7
Pilot-in-command Authority
FAR Section 91.3 states that the pilot-in-command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final
authority on, the operation of the aircraft. The pilot-in-command is vested with the final decision on
whether or not to proceed with the flight.
The pilot-in-command must resist being pressured by passengers or their own desire to complete the
flight into making a decision to proceed with the flight.
Pilot-in-command responsibilities include:
Ensuring compliance with FARs;

Reviewing the correctness of all aspects of flight planning;
Exercising command authority in routine and emergency situations.
Page 10

2/19/2013
5. Aircraft Operations
All flight operations shall be conducted using an appropriate checklist. Copies of these checklists are
located in the pilot chart holder.
The PIC should use noise canceling headsets and the aircraft intercom for all phases of flight. These
headsets provide ear-protection against engine noise and ensure low noise communication.
5.1
5.1.1
Pre-Flight
Aircraft Inspection
A complete pre-flight inspection should be conducted by the PIC prior to each flight. The aircraft should
be inspected to insure the removal of all protective flags and plugs and insure the operational readiness of
the aircraft. Any discrepancies should be reviewed against the MEL to determine whether flight
operations are appropriate or possible,
5.1.2
Flight Data and Info
Prior to flight, the PIC should verify that the navigation databases for the King KLN90B GPS units and the
Honeywell KMD-850 MFD are valid and current.
5.1.3
Cockpit Check
Prior to engine start, the PIC should determine that all required charts and flight information are stowed
within easy reach of the pilot and do not obstruct the controls, central pedestal or the glare shield.
5.1.4
Passenger Briefing
Prior to engine start, the PIC should determine that all passenger baggage is stowed and that there is
clear access to doorways and the emergency exit.
Passengers need to be briefed on emergency exits, stations, and procedures. FAR Section 91.107
requires the pilot-in-command to ensure that the passengers have been notified to fasten their seat belt
and shoulder harness, if installed. Additionally, the pilot-in-command should brief passengers on:
The fact that smoking is prohibited;
Use of seat belts;
The placement of seats, tray tables, equipment and stores before takeoff and landing;
Prohibition on the use of cellular telephones and certain other portable electronic
equipment while in flight;
Location and means for opening the passenger entry door and emergency exits;
Location of survival equipment;
Page 11

2/19/2013
Ditching and the use of required flotation equipment, if the flight involves extended overwater operations;
The normal and emergency use of oxygen, if the flight involves operations with cabin
altitudes above 12,000-feet MSL;
Location and use of fire extinguishers.
Careful explanations and advance notice of operations that may seem unusual will help increase
passenger comfort.
5.1.5
Cockpit Briefing
In the event that a passenger occupies the co-pilot seat, the PIC shall brief the passenger on the need to
remain clear of all the controls and the importance of maintaining sterile cockpit procedures whenever the
aircraft if below 10,000 or on the ground.
5.2
Start & Taxi
Prior to start the PIC will complete the Before Start checklist items paying particular attention to
verification of all annunciation systems and indicator lights.
During engine start, the PIC must pay careful attention to the engine operating limitations to insure that
engine ITT limits are observed. Once the engine is running, engine parameters should be monitored to
insure normal engine operation.
Departure airport weather information should be obtained from ATIS or ASOS prior to taxi. This
information should be recorded on a Flight Data Card for easy reference. ATC should be contacted to
obtain appropriate flight clearance and instructions and all necessary navigation equipment programmed
and configured prior to beginning to taxi.
A pre-taxi announcement should be made to the passengers with a reminder not to distract the flight crew
until further notice. For operations at night, the curtain behind the co-pilot seat should be pulled shut to
minimize light glare into the cockpit.
As taxi operations begin, the PIC should verify the correct operation of the aircraft brakes before the
aircraft achieves significant forward motion. As taxi continues, the PIC should monitor aircraft flight
instruments to verify and confirm correct operation.
The PIC should maintain a sterile cockpit (only required flight crew, no communication unless necessary
to the current flight operation) from the time that taxi operations begin until the aircraft is at least 10,000
above the ground.
5.3
Take Off
Prior to takeoff, the PIC will insure that all navigation equipment is configured and programmed for the
flight and that all necessary charts are to hand.
On departure, the PIC shall turn on all lights prior to beginning the takeoff roll. The PIC should commit the
takeoff checklist to memory.
Page 12

2/19/2013
After takeoff, the PIC should allow the aircraft to climb to 500 before engaging the autopilot. Care should
be used to guard the controls against possible autopilot malfunction.
Recognition lights should remain on for all aircraft operations below 10,000 AGL.
5.4
Climb
Climb power should be set as soon as the aircraft passes through 1000 AGL. Maximum power should be
used for climb consistent with ATC speed restrictions and engine ITT limitations. The PIC should aim for
approximately 36.9 TQ, not to exceed 720 degrees Celsius ITT during climb operations.
During climb the PIC should verify that the cabin is being pressurized by the ECS as shown by slowly
climbing cabin altitude and increasing pressure differential being shown on the pressurization control
panel.
The Pilot and Co-pilot altimeters should be cross checked during climb and both set to 29.92 no later
than as the aircraft passes through 18,000 MSL.
5.5
Cruise
Once the final cruising altitude has been reached, the PIC shall set cruise power not to exceed the
parameters as determined by using the Pilatus POH Maximum Cruise Power table to calculate the
appropriate torque setting given altitude and outside air temperature. After stabilized cruise for a
minimum of 10 minutes, the PIC should capture engine trend data and log it into the aircraft Flight Data
Card for that flight.
Engine trend information will be submitted bi-weekly to the Turbine Trend Group (or other facility as
designated by Pratt & Whitney, Canada) for engine monitoring.
The PIC should turn off the seat belt light and advise the passengers that they may move about the cabin
but that they should have their seat belts fastened when seated in case of unexpected turbulence.
During cruise operations, the PIC shall monitor en-route weather. In areas of cloud or precipitation, radar
and the StormScope should be used to monitor for convective activity. Radar data shall be displayed in
overlay mode on the pilot EFIS50 being used for primary navigation. Convective activity detected by the
StormsScope is displayed on KMD-850 MFD. En-route weather can be further noted and verified against
forecast by tracking the route of flight and monitoring ATIS/ASOS broadcast from airports along the route
of flight, and by periodic updating of enroute conditions via weather data received via DataLink capabilities
displayed on the KMD850 MFD. En-route updates should be made at least once an hour during flight.
At a point 175 miles from the proposed destination and preferqably prior to initial descent, the PIC should
familiarize themselves with the IAP to be flown at the destination. A pre-approach briefing should be
conducted observing the different phases of the approach and clearly specifying check points and
reactions during the approach.
The landing distance should again be calculated given the expected aircraft arrival weight and weather
expected at the destination and confirmed as appropriate.
Page 13

2/19/2013
5.6
Descent
Descent should be planned to commence so that descent rates of no more than 1500 FPM are required
during the descent unless requested by ATC. ATIS/ASOS information for the destination should be
obtained as soon as practical to facilitate arrival planning.
Recognition lights should be turned on when the aircraft descents through 10,000 AGL.
Descent planning should contemplate what weather conditions (precipitation, icing etc) are likely to be
encountered during the descent. Wherever possible, plan to remain above or descend below regions of
icing so as to minimize the amount of time the aircraft is exposed to icing conditions.
On reaching 10,000 AGL, the PIC should turn on the passenger seat belt light and advise passengers that
the aircraft is approaching landing and to refrain from distracting the flight crew. Passengers should be
asked to ensure that all baggage is stowed and that tray tables, seat backs, seat positions etc should be
returned to their normal positions for landing.
5.7
Terminal Procedures
No IAP shall be begun unless the reported weather minimums are at least 200 above the FAA published
minimums. While this is not required by FAR Part 91, it is common sense and good practice. Weather
below these limits shall cause the PIC to immediately plan for a missed approach, or to divert the aircraft
to the planned or other suitable alternate destination.
When the aircraft is within 15 miles of the final approach fix, the aircraft should be slowed to 170 KIAS
unless ATC requires a higher speed for traffic flow management.
Plan the extension of the landing gear while in unaccelerated flight prior to reaching the final approach fix
on the IAP. With TQ set at approx. 15, in level flight with gear extended, the aircraft will slow to approx.
140 KIAS.
Flaps shall be extended to 15 degrees before reaching the FAF, weather conditions permitting. The
aircraft will slow to approx 120 KIAS, with little or no pitch change. Passing the FAF, Flaps of 30 degrees
should be selected; minor pitch change will occur. Speed will decrease to approx. 100 KIAS.
Approaches should be flown coupled via the autopilot whenever possible. When hand flying, maintain
course to within 1 dot maximum on the course direction indicator (CDI). Full scale left or right deflection
on the CDI shall cause the PIC to immediately execute a missed approach.
Careful attention must be paid to approach speeds when in icing conditions. Pilots are cautioned to
observe aircraft limitations of 15 degrees flaps (maximum) and to maintain a final approach speed of at
least 120 KIAS while Pusher Ice mode is enabled on the Stick Pusher system (Inertial separator open and
Propeller de-ice enabled).
5.8
Landing
Page 14

2/19/2013
Final approach to landing should be made paying attention to the Angle of Attach indicator on the EFIS.
The PIC should plan on flying the final approach to landing with the AOA centered unless other conditions
dictate a higher approach speed. These include:
Landing with zero-flaps due to flap failure as the AOA indicator will not be accurate.
Observe a final approach speed of 108 KIAS.
All landings should be planned with 40 degrees of flaps unless weather conditions require otherwise.
5.9
Missed Approach Procedures
A missed approach or go-around procedure should be executed if the approach or approach to landing
cannot be continued with the aircraft performing normal maneuvers or if the runway is not visible at the
decision height/missed approach point.
Go-around should be commanded on the autopilot and power smoothly advanced to either maximum
torque or 720 degrees ITT. The aircraft should be established on a climb with 10 degree pitch up.
Retract flaps to 15 degrees and then raise the landing gear. After the landing gear is up and airspeed is
greater than 100 KIAS, retract the remaining flaps.
5.10 Post-Landing
After landing and taxiing clear of the runway, the PIC should follow the after landing checklist and clean
up the aircraft configuration. Passengers should be cautioned to remain in their seats with their seat belts
fastened until after the aircraft has been parked and the engine turned off.
5.11 Parking and Shut Down
After the aircraft has been taxied to its parking position, the PIC should follow the Shutdown checklist and
secure the aircraft.
After completion of the shutdown, the PIC should complete the aircraft flight log noting the Hobbs time
and record any aircraft or equipment issues on the Flight Data Card.
The PIC should open the passenger door and supervise the passengers as they deplane from the aircraft.
5.12 Over Night Storage
Prior to leaving the aircraft, the PIC should insure that all protective plugs and covers have been installed
and that arrangements have been made to insure the physical security of the aircraft. Overnight storage
should be arranged in a secure hangar when possible and particularly when weather forecasts include ice
or snow prior to the day of departure.
5.13 Post-Flight Analysis
After the completion of the flight, the PIC should review the flight as flown and assess any variances from
the pre-flight plan and any errors made during the flight.
Page 15

2/19/2013
Pilots are encouraged to file NASA ACRS reports whenever a significant error has been made during the
flight regardless of whether FAA regulatory deviations have occurred. Review of errors should be made
not for self-castigation to as a learning exercise to determine how, when and why the error occurred and
what could be done in the future to prevent reoccurrence.

Aircraft Incident Procedure/Response

Introduction
The intent of this section is to outline the immediate considerations, steps and processes
for an effective response to an incident involving the Aircraft.
Page 94

2/19/2013
The objective is to provide guidance concerning notification, steps to take and forms to
complete to properly handle the immediate consequences and requirements for
circumstances that by definition include serious personal injury, fatality or
substantial damage to an aircraft.
For accidents that include serious personal injury, fatality or substantial damage to an
aircraft, the procedures outlined in this section will escalate to the Aircraft
Accident Response Manual.
Aircraft Incident Procedure/Response

Definitions
For purposes of identifying the level of response required, it is important to define the
different categories of events. The following are industry standard definitions:
Aircraft
Pilatus PC-12 s/n xxx, Nxxx
Accident
An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which takes place between
the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight, until such time
as all persons have disembarked, and in which any persons suffer death, or
serious injury, as a result of being in or upon the aircraft, or by direct contact with
the aircraft or anything attached thereto, or in which the aircraft receives
substantial damage.
Page 95

2/19/2013
Substantial Damage
Damage or structural failure which adversely affects the structural strength, performance
or flight characteristics of the aircraft, and which would normally require major
repair or replacement of the affected component.
NOTE: Engine failure (damage limited to an engine), bent fairing or cowling, dented
skin, small puncture holes in the skin or fabric, ground damage to rotor or
propeller blades, damage to landing gear, wheels, tires, flaps, engine accessories,
brakes, or wing tips are not considered substantial damage for the purposes of an
accident report.
Demolished
Includes destruction by fire
Fatal Injury
Any injury which results in death caused by the accident.
Serious Injury
Any injury which:

1.
Requires hospitalization for more than 48 hours, commencing within seven days from the date the
injury was received
2.
Results in a fracture of any bone (except simple fractures of fingers, toes, or nose).
3.
Involves lacerations which cause severe hemorrhages, nerve muscle or tendon damage.
4.
Involves injury to any internal organ.
5.
Involves second or third degree burns, or any burns affecting more than 5 percent of the body surface.
6.
