PC-7

For over 40 years, the Pilatus PC-7 has been the backbone of military pilot training for the Swiss Air Force. The Swiss Army relies on a fleet of 27 PC-7 aircraft to deliver reliable, precise training for future pilots, a role now strengthened by a new value preservation programme (PC-7 WE) conducted by RUAG in partnership with Pilatus.

Pilatus is handling the conversion of 13 aircraft at its Stans site, while RUAG will modify the remaining 14 at Lodrino.

On October 14, the Dutch Ministry of Defence announced its decision to select Pilatus as the supplier of new basic training aircraft. These new planes will replace the current fleet of 13 Pilatus PC-7 aircraft.
