The PC-12 has a very low accident rate. There are only two engine
failures in the aircraft's history that I can recall. One disappeared
over the Pacific a couple years ago and another made an emergency
landing up in northeastern Canada without incident.








Without incident?? You should check those facts.



Here is an exerpt from the Canadian TSB report number A98A0067.



Aviation Occurrence Report Engine Failure /
Forced Landing
V. Kelner Airways Limited
Pilatus PC-12 C-FKAL
Clarenville, Newfoundland 1.5 nm SE
18 May 1998


SYNOPSIS

The aircraft, a Pilatus PC-12, serial number 151, was on a scheduled
domestic flight from St. John's, Newfoundland, to Goose Bay, Labrador, with
the pilot, a company observer, and eight passengers on board. Twenty-three
minutes into the flight, the aircraft turned back towards St. John's
because of a low oil pressure indication. Eight minutes later, the
engine(Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67B) had to be shut down because of a severe
vibration. The pilot then turned towards Clarenville Airport, but was
unable to reach the airfield. The aircraft was destroyed during the forced
landing in a bog one and a half miles from the Clarenville Airport. The
pilot, the company observer, and one passenger sustained serious injuries.
