About

The /45 takes the PC-12 from 4,100 to 4,500 kg on the same PT6A-67B, and from serial 684 gains 50 mm of span. It is the model that made the type commercially serious. The cruise speed, range, ceiling, climb rate and take-off distance are EUROCONTROL's figures for the PC12 type code rather than a certificate's: a type certificate states limits and weights, not cruise performance, and the source does not distinguish sub-variants.
