Pilatus Aircraft today announced the 2025 version of the PC-12 turboprop single—the PC-12 Pro—with a Garmin G3000 Prime avionics suite. These avionics replace the Honeywell Apex system in previous-model PC-12 NGXs and add 100 pounds of more payload to the PC-12 Pro. Garmin’s emergency autoland system and GFC 700 autopilot with automatic engagement of the autothrottle are included in the PC-12 Pro’s avionics suite. Even with the autopilot disengaged, flight envelope protections engage automatically. 

G3000 Prime in the PC-12 Pro features three 14-inch touchscreen primary display units and touchscreen secondary display units, along with a GI 275 standby instrument. A new yoke that looks like it was adapted from the PC-24 twinjet adds a checklist advance switch.
