The first PC-12 PRO returning from one of its many certification test flights as HB-FSG26 on a beautiful morning in Stans. This new version features the Garmin G3000 suite with its revolutionary "Emergency Autoland" feature, in addition to some updates to the aircraft interior, from the lavatories to the seat colors. Note the N12 marked on the rear of the aircraft; Pilatus had at that time hidden the letters "PRO" to avoid revealing too much, just as they had disguised the actual MSN to 2477 to avoid arousing suspicion. This aircraft indeed inaugurates a new sequence of MSNs with the number 3001. A new era without major changes opens for the world greatest single, which loses its famous small window opening on the left side of the cockpit, what a change! The aircraft in its grand reveal showed some orange touches on the livery which are camouflaged on this picture, representing the new visual identity of the PC-12, named PRO Line!
