RELIABILITY VERSATILITY Weight and Balance, Speeds, Range 18 Performance 19 Cabin Volume and Payload 22 All information subject to change without prior notice THE PILATUS PC-6 PORTER HAS BECOME A LEGENDARY AIRCRAFT, KNOWN AROUND THE WORLD SIMPLY AS “THE PORTER”. ITS UNIQUE SHORT TAKE-OFF AND LANDING (STOL) CAPABILITIES, RELIABILITY AND VERSATILITY IN ALL WEATHER AND TERRAIN CONDITIONS HAVE ESTABLISHED THE PC-6'S REPUTATION AS A RUGGED UTILITY AIRCRAFT.

THE PORTER’S UNMATCHED STOL PERFORMANCE IS ONE OF ITS KEY CAPABILITIES, PROVIDING A GREAT DEAL OF FLEXIBILITY AND ALLOWING OPERATION OF THE PC-6 WHERE ACCESS FOR OTHER AIRCRAFT IS IMPOSSIBLE. OUTSTANDING CAPABILITY IN ROUGH CONDITIONS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH LOW-PRESSURE TIRES, TWIN-CALLIPER DISC BRAKES AND AN UNDERCARRIAGE WITH HIGH BUMP ABSORPTION. WITH ITS HIGH WING AND PROPELLER GROUND CLEARANCE, TH E PC-6 IS MUCH LESS EXPOSED TO DAMAGE FROM ROUGH AIRSTRIPS THAN AIRCRAFT WITH A CONVENTIONAL NOSEWHEEL-TYPE UNDERCARRIAGE. THE PORTER IS FULLY CAPABLE OF OPERATING FROM DIFFERENT TYPES OF...

RELIABILITY YEARS OF OPERATING EXPERIENCE, COMBINED WITH SELECTED COMPONENTS WITH A PROVEN RECORD CONTINUE TO GIVE THE TURBO PORTER AN EXCELLENT REPUTATION FOR RELIABILITY. THE EASE AND SIMPLICITY WITH WHICH THE PC-6 CAN BE MAINTAINED IS A FUNDAMENTAL FEATURE, AS IT OFFERS EXCELLENT ACCESSIBILITY, RUGGED COMPONENTS, INTERCHANGEABILITY, BASIC SKILL AND MAINTENANCE MANNING LEVELS AND MINIMUM DOWNTIME. A SIMPLE BUT SOLID CONSTRUCTION, PROVEN SYSTEMS AND FEATURES, COMBINED WITH PRECISION WORKMANSHIP RESULT IN THE HIGHEST RELIABILITY AND LOWEST MAINTENANCE POSSIBLE. NO MATTER WHETHER HIGH AND...

ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THE GREAT POPULARITY OF THE PC-6 IS ITS VERSATILITY. WITH MINIMUM EFFORT, THE PORTER CAN BE CONVERTED FOR VARIOUS MISSIONS: HAVING JUST OPERATED AS A PARA PORTER DROPPING PARACHUTISTS, THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE AIRBORNE AGAIN IN A MATTER OF MINUTES, BEING USED AS A PLATFORM FOR HIGH QUALITY AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY OR AS A BREATHTAKING SIGHTSEEING FLIGHT WITH A GLACIER LANDING... WHETHER AS A WORKHORSE, A PLATFORM FOR AERIAL SURVEILLANCE, AIR AMBULANCE OR AS A PARACHUTING OR PASSENGER AIRCRAFT, THE PORTER DELIVERS THE VERSATILITY TO PERFORM ANY ROLE THAT COMES ITS WAY. . ’ 3

CABIN VOLUME AND PAYLOAD The Pilatus PC-6 has earned its reputation as a workhorse with a cabin volume of more than three cubic meters and a total payload of over 1,000 kg. A large sliding door on both sides of the aircraft allows easy access to the cabin for loading and removal of freight. When extra space is needed, the passenger seats can be quickly removed and stowed in the additional seat stowage area behind the cabin. The standard floor hatch enables a platform for a wide range of surveillance functions without the necessity of any design changes.
