The FAA is proposing safety requirements for certain Pilatus PC-12/47E airplanes after reports of the stall warning system activating when it shouldn't. The fix requires a software update and pilot handbook revision. This affects operators and owners of Pilatus PC-12 turboprop aircraft, a popular plane for regional airlines, air ambulances, and private owners. False stall warnings can distract pilots and potentially cause dangerous reactions, making this an important safety fix.
