Skandia's PC-12 Acoustic Kit Gets EASA Nod
European approval comes a year after the sound-deadening modification kit earned its STC from the FAA.

Illinois-based Skandia soundproofing kit for the Pilatus PC-12 has been STC'd by EASA. The company claims the kit offers increased passenger comfort in all phases of flight. In testing on the turboprop single, the company achieved overall sound reduction of 4 dB, with a reduction of up to 6 dB in some seating areas.
