Pilatus PC-24 Royal Flying Doctors Service
The Pilatus PC-24 is a versatile multi-role jet and one of the few jet aircraft certified to land on unsealed runways as short as 800m. The Royal Flying Doctors Service currently has 2 PC-24s based in Jandakot and Broom in Western Australia with a third based in Adelaide, South Australia.
These aircraft are emergency wards in the skies and have a capacity for three stretchered patients and two medical teams consisting of four doctors and nurses. They allow the RFDS to better service the many remote community of Australia with faster response times and higher quality care.
The RFDS commonly operate the PC-24 in a single pilot config and as such this 1:1 recreation reflects that with a touchscreen autopilot, altitude hold and simple control methods.
The three stretchers can be loaded through the large rear cargo door with two being placed near the passenger seating and the thirds staying attached to the lift.
The landing gear is also accurate and is very forgiving, great for those short hard landings on the beach or in a valley.
More versions of this aircraft may come at a later date.
