Buy a Pilatus, get an iPad

By Janice Wood · March 10, 2011 ·

Pilatus Business Aircraft, Ltd., manufacturer of the PC-12 NG, is giving new customers an Apple iPad containing interactive content customized to each owner’s individual aircraft, as well as delivery documents, owner’s manuals and a variety of aviation apps.

Each iPad comes pre-loaded with the Pilots Information Manual (PIM), an introduction to the company and the PC-12 NG, and key delivery documents. Also included is customized content documenting the manufacture, assembly and completion of each owner’s particular aircraft, as well as aviation apps such as Fore Flight, My Radar Pro and others,

“This is just the first step,” said Thomas Bosshard, president and CEO. “Pilatus will continue to develop the program to make delivery, service and flight planning even easier for our customers.”

Introduced in 1994, the PC-12 features a fully integrated Honeywell Primus Apex avionics system, a cockpit and cabin designed by BMW Group Designworks USA, and a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A engine.
