PlaneSmart! News

Dallas, Texas (January 27, 2009) – PlaneSmart! Aviation announced today that it is adding the Pilatus PC-12 to its fleet of aircraft available to customers.  The first of the new line-up of turboprops is scheduled to arrive in early 2Q 2009.   As with all its aircraft, PlaneSmart! will professionally manage the new Pilatus and make equity shares available in increments as small as one quarter.  The company will coordinate pilot services on behalf of its customers, and provide mentor pilots for shareowners who wish to qualify to fly the airplane themselves.

PlaneSmart! President and CEO, Michael Brosler, stated “We are excited to include the PC-12 in the suite of aircraft available to our clients. This plane offers business class seating for up to 10 passengers and responds to numerous requests from business and individual customers alike.  In conjunction with a technologically advanced fleet of Cirrus aircraft, and an Eclipse 500 Very Light Jet, PlaneSmart! offers an efficient transportation solution that satisfies the majority of air travel needs.”

The interior cabin is the largest in its class, and an electrically operated oversized rear cargo/luggage door make the PC-12  ideal for most missions.  At 280 knots (322 mph), the PC-12 NG can travel over 1,500 miles and carries a maximum payload of over 2200 lbs.  A fully enclosed flushing lavatory is an amenity found standard on the PC-12, and its short field takeoff and landing performance allow the capability to operate in and out of most airports.
