Higher efficiency, lower cost

The PC-21 training system combines performance and flexibility with proven affordability to offer a new level of training effectiveness. That means fewer trianing hours and faster pilot operational readiness – all at a lower cost.

Multipurpose

The PC-21 can be used for basic, advanced and jet pilot training. That means fewer aircraft types for air force pilot training and optimum efficiency, delivering maximum quality combined with minimum time constraints.

From theory to practice

Maximum training results on the ground

Sound preparation on the ground prevents high costs and errors in the air. When trainee pilots come to sit in the aircraft and fly, they should already be familiar with the systems and avionics. The PC-21’s ground-based training system translates learning on the ground to the airborne context.

Overengineered, and proud of it. Designed and built in Switzerland.

Focus on being a world leader
