Description

The Pilatus PC-7 Turbo-Trainer is a single-engine, tandem two-seat turboprop aircraft designed to perform basic training missions for military customers. It was developed by Pilatus Aircraft based upon the Pilatus PC-3 training aircraft which was introduced in the 1950s. The first PC-7 prototype performed its maiden flight on April 12, 1966, and the first production aircraft first flew in August 1978. The first production aircraft was delivered to the Air Force of Burma/Myanmar in December 1978. The Pilatus PC-7 trainer received a large number of orders in the 1980s entering into service with over 20 air forces providing basic training becoming thus the most successful military aircraft program for Pilatus Aircraft.
