Pilatus emphasizes that their PC-21 allows pilots destined for fighter jets to delay transitioning to jet trainers longer than usual. "On the PC-21," states Pilatus, "pilots do not need to transition until much later... reducing cost and training time."
Equipped with Martin-Baker CH-16C ejection seats and Pratt & Whitney PT6 engines, the PC-21 boasts advanced simulation capabilities aimed at mirroring modern frontline aircraft systems closely. With a maximum speed of 370 knots and service ceiling near 38,000 feet, Pilatus claims these features give it an edge over traditional trainers.
"To train the next generation of military pilots," says Pilatus about their product's efficiency under financial constraints faced by air forces worldwide.
Despite its advantages, Canada complements its fleet with other types like Grob G120TPs. Globally recognized for its versatility and affordability in pilot training programs across various nations including Australia which agrees on its advanced status—the RCAF plans further integration within broader multi-aircraft frameworks alongside models like Hawk lead-in fighters operated by Australia.
In terms of global presence since production began around two decades ago; nearly eleven different countries have adopted approximately two hundred fifty units altogether—with Saudi Arabia leading usage numbers followed closely behind by Australia itself among others such as Spain or Singapore reflecting significant international demand amidst competitive markets featuring alternatives ranging from Beechcraft T6 Texan II’s used extensively throughout US services alongside Boeing-Saab T7 Red Hawks poised soon entering serial manufacture replacing older counterparts there too eventually
