In a typical executive configuration, the PC-12 NG is normally outfitted with six large full- function (swivel, recline) executive seats in the passenger cabin. A seventh passenger can occupy the right cockpit seat. The C90GTi normally has five Passenger seats, with the right front cockpit seat available for the sixth passenger. Both airplanes include a flushing lavatory plus galley/stowage units.
Maximum payload capacity of the PC-12 NG is 347 lbs or 18 percent greater than the C90GTi.
Carrying six passengers, the range of the PC-12 NG (1394nm) exceeds that of the C90GTi (644nm) by 750 nm or 116 percent.

Takeoff and Landing
Because of the difference in maximum allowable takeoff weight for the two aircraft, takeoff and landing distances are best compared on an identical mission basis. For takeoff, we use the C90GTi’s maximum range mission of 1,110 nm carrying a payload of 400 lbs. For landing, we use a 1,000 lb payload and no reverse. NBAA IFR fuel reserves with 100nm alternate apply to both missions.

Cabin Size
The PC-12NG has 330 Cu ft of cabin volume compared to 227 Cu ft for the C90GTi. The additional volume results from the PC-12NG being longer by 31 percent and 11 percent wider. With the rear Cargo door, the PC-12NG cabin is more accessible for loading additional baggage.
