Pilatus Aircraft has delivered the first PC-12 Pro to a U.S. customer some eight months after the Swiss airframer announced the latest update to its venerable PC-12. The Pro incorporates a new Pilatus Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) flight deck based on the Garmin G3000 Prime and folds in features such as Autoland.

Pilatus delivered the first copies of the Pro to customers in Australia and Europe last month. U.S. owners Ravi and Pheroza Arcot accepted their Pro edition, S/N 3005, at Pilatus’ North American headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado, and plans to base the turboprop single in the Northeast. Notably, the delivery also comes after Pilatus had placed a moratorium on U.S. shipments in August due to the 39% tariffs imposed on Swiss products.
