Elevated Safety.
No Exceptions.
Elevate operates at the highest safety standards. Every Elevate flight meets all checklists outlined under 135 certificate requirements. This means added pre-flight due diligence for weather, take-off requirements and landing variables.
All Elevate flights are operated with two pilots both of which must hold an FAA Airline Transport Pilot license, meet minimum flight experience requirements and be type-rated in the PC-12. Each pilot is also required to have on-going simulator-based flight training. Elevate flights meet ARGUS and Wyvern Gold standards.
Precision Power
We combined elevated standards with one of the safest aircraft in the industry. The PC-12 is powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada's PT6A-67P engine, a power variant of the most dependable engine ever produced, the PT6. The PC-12 cockpit features state-of-the-art Honeywell Primus Apex avionics paired with four large displays, including two Multi Function Displays (MFDs) and two Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) to provide unprecedented amount of viewing area and integrated flight information. The PC-12 cockpit also includes SmartView, a proven synthetic vision system, which displays a natural 3D rendering of terrain normally only seen on a clear day.
Precision Performance
A single engine aircraft is free of the extra weight, increased drag and added fuel required by a twin engine aircraft. Multi-engine aircraft experience asymmetric thrust and rapid loss of climb performance of up to 80% which can be extremely dangerous at low altitudes. Comparably speaking, single-engine aircraft don't experience asymmetrical thrust; and, at max gross weight and a cruising altitude of 30,000 feet, a PC-12 without power can continue to fly 32 minutes and travel 90 statute miles before landing at a slow and safe touchdown speed. What's more, the PC-12 is even certified to land safely on dirt and grass, opening up innumerable landing opportunities.
