What is the recommended approach speed for landings in the Pilatus PC-12 NG?

The recommended approach speed for landings in the Pilatus PC-12 NG is approximately 90-95 knots. This speed range is optimal for ensuring a stable approach, allowing for adequate control authority and a margin to handle variations in wind and aircraft configuration.

Flying at this speed provides a balance between lift and drag, enhancing the pilot's ability to maintain the proper descent profile and trajectory. This is particularly important during the final approach phase, where maintaining a stable airspeed is critical for a safe landing. Additionally, this speed allows for a suitable threshold for executing a go-around if necessary, ensuring the aircraft remains responsive to pilot inputs without risking a stall.

Understanding the specified approach speed is essential for pilots in managing the aircraft's performance during critical phases of flight. Flying significantly below or above this speed range can lead to difficulties in handling and may jeopardize safety during landing.
