About

The first PC-12, certified at 4,100 kg — 640 kg below what the type is approved for today. Its landing weight equals its take-off weight, which is normal for an aeroplane of this size and stays true of every later model except the /47 onwards. 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.
