PC-7 MkII
THE BASIC TRAINER
Since its introduction in 1994, the PC-7 MkII has come with an
exceptional standard of equipment, performance and cost-effectiveness in this class of training aircraft.
Offering a reliable and economic training platform, the docile behaviour of the PC-7 MkII in the hands of a beginner provides a confidencebuilding environment for inexperienced cadets. With its highly costefficient PT6A-25C engine, it provides the lowest engine operating
costs of all turboprop trainer aircraft. The use of airframe and avionics
systems common with the PC-9 M enables owners and operators to
profit from the benefits of a combined infrastructure established at
Pilatus to support both these aircraft types.
