Launching in Q3 2025
Simuflight’s PC12 Type Rating Course will be a comprehensive program designed to equip pilots with the skills and knowledge required to operate the Pilatus PC12 aircraft safely and efficiently. The course will provide an in-depth understanding of the PC12’s systems, flight characteristics, and operating procedures. Tailored to the specific needs of corporate, private, and commercial pilots, the training will cover essential areas such as normal, abnormal and emergency procedures, as well as flight planning and weather awareness.
Simuflight’s state-of-the-art simulator will allow pilots to gain hands-on experience in a realistic environment, ensuring that they are well-prepared to handle real-world situations in the aircraft. Each session will be led by experienced instructors who bring practical insights and years of expertise to the table, enhancing the learning experience with scenario-based training. This immersive approach will ensure that pilots become proficient in normal, abnormal and emergency operations, handling both expected and unexpected events with confidence.
The PC12 Type Rating Course will include both ground school and simulator training modules, and will be designed to accommodate various experience levels, whether it’s an initial type rating or recurrent training. By the end of the course, pilots will have developed a solid foundation in PC12 operations, and will have completed the skills test on the aircraft, meeting all regulatory standards and boosting their confidence in flying this versatile aircraft.

Our PC12 course is based on 11 working days of training until completion. The course duration may vary slightly due to weather, additional training requirements and equipment availability.
Pilot Kit
When starting your PC12 course you will be issued with the training material needed to complete the course. As some of the training will be completed using electronic applications, candidates must be in possession of an electronic device, e.g. iPad or electronic tablet, laptop computer, etc. To have access to this material after the course has been completed and for practical applications in the actual aircraft, an electronic tablet is strongly recommended.

Base Training
The final one hour flying training and the Type Rating Skills Test, is completed on the actual aircraft.
