At RTC, we frequently hear from pilots curious about the effectiveness of non-flight training for sophisticated aircraft. Our answer is unequivocal: a high-fidelity simulator offers an unparalleled training environment. Specifically, our Pilatus PC-12 Legacy is supported by an FAA Qualified, Level 5 flight training device (FTD). This advanced simulator is the cornerstone of our robust Pilatus PC-12 Flight Training programs, providing the necessary realism and control to achieve true mastery efficiently and affordably.

Precision Practice in a Controlled Setting
A key advantage of our FTD is the ability to pause, reset, and immediately review any scenario. This precision allows instructors to isolate specific weaknesses and deliver laser-focused instruction. During your PC-12 Initial Training, we can subject you to various emergencies—from electrical failures to system shutdowns—that would be risky or impossible to practice in the air. The FTD lets you safely repeat procedures until they become automatic.

Optimizing Systems Knowledge and Decision-Making
The Level 5 flight training device perfectly replicates the PC-12’s cockpit layout, systems, and performance characteristics. This is crucial for building deep systems knowledge. We can create complex, layered failure scenarios that force sharp decision-making without the pressure of having to manage a real-world crisis. This environment accelerates the transition from basic understanding to expert application of knowledge.

Streamlining the PC-12 Initial Training Curriculum
We understand that time off the line is expensive. By using the FTD, we can deliver a comprehensive PC-12 Initial Training curriculum more quickly and effectively than traditional methods allow. Our instructors can move through the syllabus at your pace, focusing resources where you need them most. This efficient use of time ensures you leave ready to operate the PC-12 safely and confidently from day one.

Delivering Targeted PC-12 Recurrent Training
For seasoned pilots, our PC-12 Recurrent Training is focused on maintaining and enhancing proficiency. The FTD allows us to introduce new operating environments, subtle failures, or changes in procedure directly into the training scenario. This targeted approach prevents complacency and reinforces correct habits. We ensure that every recurrent pilot at RTC receives a challenging and relevant experience every time.
Choosing simulator-based training at RTC means choosing effectiveness, safety, and efficiency for your career. Our commitment is to use the best tools available, like our Level 5 FTD, to ensure every pilot is at their peak readiness. Let us help you master the PC-12 aircraft safely and efficiently.
