Pilatus Aircraft Ltd is pleased to announce the receipt of additional
country certifications for the PC-12 NG. Approvals by TC (Transport
Canada), CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority, Australia) and SACAA
(South African Civil Aviation Authority) signal the commencement of
PC-12 NG deliveries to these countries. In March of 2008 Pilatus
received both EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) and FAA (Federal
Aviation Administration) certification, proving that the PC-12 NG was
ready to build upon the important legacy of its predecessor. It is
expected that numerous other country approvals will follow shortly.

Speaking from Pilatus headquarters in Stans, Switzerland, Oscar J.
Schwenk, President of Pilatus Aircraft Ltd commented: “We are delighted
that these certifications were achieved in a timely manner and they are a
testament to the vigorous pursuit of excellence for which Pilatus has
become well known. The PC-12 is fundamentally one of the greatest
aircraft ever built and we are proud that aviation authorities around the
world recognise this through their certification processes.”

Featuring a number of significant improvements over its predecessor,
including a fully integrated Honeywell Primus Apex avionics system, a
completely new cockpit designed by BMW Group DesignworksUSA, and a
more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A engine, the PC-12 NG once
again sets the benchmark in this important market sector. As aircraft
owners and operators strive to operate as competitively as possible, the
PC-12’s versatility and low direct operating costs are more relevant than
ever before. These certifications allow more customers to seriously
consider the benefits of the PC-12 NG.

Pilatus Aircraft Ltd was founded in 1939 and is currently the world
market leader in the manufacture and sale of single-engine turboprop
aircraft. It is the only Swiss company that develops and produces private
and training aircraft. At the headquarters in Stans, Switzerland, Pilatus is
licensed to maintain and perform upgrades on a variety of aircraft. This
service is complemented by three independent subsidiaries in Altenrhein
(Switzerland), in Broomfield (Colorado, USA) and Adelaide (Australia).
With over 1200 employees at its headquarters, Pilatus is one of the
largest employers in Central Switzerland.
