Content Body

A leak in the fuel control unit pneumatic system caused the P&WC PT6 to fail in a Pilatus PC-12 on December 14, according to Pilatus (see AIN, January, page 46). The pilot was able to deadstick the turboprop single to a safe landing on a street in South Bend, Ind. Pilatus re-issued a service letter to remind PC-12 operators that there is a manual override procedure that enables full power to be restored if the fuel control unit fails.
