Recent Pilatus Aircraft Ltd PC-12/47E accidents
The multi-engine pilot's failure to maintain clearance from another airplane during taxi.
The pilot’s inadequate preflight planning, inadequate inflight monitoring of the airplane’s flight parameters, and his failure to regain control of the airplane following entry into an inadvertent aerodynamic stall. The pilot’s likely spatial disorientation following the aerodynamic stall also contributed to the outcome.
The pilot’s failure to properly position the power control lever before starting the engine as required per the checklist. Contributing to the accident were the ice on the ramp and the pilot’s failure to secure the engine using the condition lever.
The pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during takeoff in a gusty crosswind condition.
A total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence.
The pilot’s failure to maintain clearance from an object during the takeoff ground roll due to inadequate monitoring of the environment.
The pilot’s loss of control shortly after takeoff, which resulted in an inadvertent, low-altitude aerodynamic stall. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s improper loading of the airplane, which resulted in reduced static longitudinal stability and his decision to depart into low instrument meteorological conditions.
