INTRODUCTION

Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. was founded in 1939 and is located in Stans, Switzerland. Pilatus is the largest and most experienced single engine turboprop manufacturer in the world.

Pilatus Aircraft enjoys a history of aviation excellence that covers both civilian and military markets. This history includes the design and production of high performance trainers, utility aircraft and most recently, the PC-12. The PC-12 is Pilatus's most recent move into corporate aviation and has been enthusiastically received. As deliveries have grown over the years, so has the PC-12's reputation. It is refined, versatile, and ultimately the most compelling choice of any aircraft in and around its class.

The PC-12 is a powerful combination of size, speed, economy and advanced design that allows the PC-12 to dominate where other aircraft struggle to compete. The PC-12's power and efficiency come from the Pratt and Whitney PT6A turboprop engine. Combined with the Swiss-engineered airframe it is able to offer a cruise speed of 270 knots and direct operating costs of around $300.00 per hour. With its large pressurized cabin and seating from 6 to 7 passengers, it offers anything from a perfect airborne conference room to a large and versatile freight hauler with a cabin of 330 cubic feet and a cargo door that measures 53 x 52 inches.

The PC-12 demonstrates wide opportunities for corporate, air ambulance, cargo, and regional work. It is a true Swiss army knife of the aviation industry.

On behalf of Flight1 Software and the PC-12 team members, I invite you to experience the Flight1 Software PC-12 for FSX and thank you for your continued patronage.

AUTOPILOT

The Autopilot installed in the PC-12 aircraft is the Bendix/King KFC 325 Digital Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS). The KFC 325 Digital AFCS has three axis controls: pitch, roll and yaw.

1) DN/UP - Controls the vertical axis of the Autopilot. The rocker switch function is dependent upon the Autopilot's active mode.

2) HDG - Engages the Heading Select mode. Heading information is received from the Heading Bug on the EHSI.

3) NAV - Engages the Navigation mode. The Flight Director will command tracking of the Coupled Navigation Receiver based on the EHSI selected Primary Navigation Source.

4) APR - Engages the Approach mode. APR mode will capture and track the selected localizer sensor with approach accuracy. APR mode provides both lateral (LOC) and vertical (GS) tracking.

5) BC - Engages the Back Course mode.

6) YD - Engages the Yaw Damper and Rudder Trim Relief independent of the Autopilot's pitch and roll axes.

7) AP - Engages the Autopilot. The Yaw Damper is automatically activated when the Autopilot is engaged; however, the Yaw Damper remains engaged if the Autopilot is disengaged.

8) ALT - Engages the Altitude Hold mode. Altitude Hold commands the aircraft to maintain the Pressure Altitude existing at the moment of selection.

9) IAS - Engages the Indicated Airspeed Hold mode. When the Airspeed Indicator with Heading Bug option is selected via the Configuration Manager, the Autopilot will automatically adjust the Power Control Lever (throttle) to match the speed input via the Speed Bug.

10) FD - Engages the Flight Director in Pitch Attitude Hold mode and Wings Level Mode. The pitch attitude of the Flight Director is synchronized to the current aircraft pitch attitude.

11) SOFT RIDE - Engages the Soft Ride mode. Soft Ride mode decreases the Autopilot gains thus decreasing the aggressiveness of the Autopilot resulting in a more comfortable ride in turbulent conditions (not modeled).

12) HALF BANK - Engages the Half Bank mode. The Autopilot's maximum commanded bank angle is reduced to one half of the normal value. This mode is provided to increase passenger comfort (not modeled).

13) TEST - Press to test the Autopilot Mode Lamps. When pressed, all Autopilot Mode Lamps should illuminate. Press a second time to cancel the test.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

The procedures listed in this section are taken directly from the actual Pilatus PC-12 Pilot’s Operating Handbook. Although we have designed the Flight1 Software Pilatus PC-12 for FSX to resemble and function as closely as possible the real PC-12, it is not designed as a training device. It’s possible that some checklist procedures listed may not be accomplished in this simulation.

The recommended action to be taken in case of failure or in emergency simulations is contained in this section. Some situations require rapid action, leaving little time to consult the emergency procedures. Prior knowledge of these procedures and a good understanding of the aircraft system is a prerequisite for safe aircraft handling.

Know your aircraft and be thoroughly familiar with important emergency procedures.

The emergency procedures use the terms — "Land as soon as possible" and "Land as soon as practical". For the purpose of these procedures the meanings are as follows:

l Land as soon as possible - Land without delay at the nearest airport where a safe approach and landing is reasonable assured.

l Land as soon as practical - Landing airport and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest suitable airport is not recommended.

PERFORMANCE CHARTS

The performance charts listed in this section are taken directly from the actual PC-12 Pilot’s Operating Handbook. Although we have taken great pains to ensure that the Flight1 Software PC-12 for FSX flies as closely to the real thing as possible, in some cases performance of the sim aircraft may not match exactly the performance of the real aircraft due to programming limitations in Flight Simulator.

This section contains the required performance data for airplane operation. The performance information presented in this section is derived from actual flight test data corrected to standard day conditions and analytically expanded for the different parameters such as weight, altitude, temperature, etc.

WEIGHT AND BALANCE

This section contains the information required to determine the Basic Empty Weight and Moment of the aircraft, and calculate aircraft loading for various flight operations. A sample loading form is provided.

To achieve the performance designed for the aircraft it must be flown with approved weight and center of gravity limits. It is the responsibility of the pilot in command to make sure that the aircraft does not exceed the maximum weight limits and is loaded within the center of gravity range before takeoff.
