PC-9 MADVANCED TURBO TRAINERSince its launch in 1986, the PC-9 has established itself as a leaderamong turboprop trainers, offering superior training value for airforces around the world. Noted for its aerodynamic yet stablehandling qualities, it has all the right attributes to develop the skillsof student pilots from ab initio through basic training, and withsufficient power for the more demanding advanced phases oftraining.

Recent upgrades to the PC-9 M include large primary and secondaryflight displays to transform the aircraft into a true glass-cockpittrainer. With this modern cockpit environment, high performance, andagile handling, the PC-9 M is an ideal training platform for the widerange of training syllabi in use today.
