Way too many unknowns to make even an educated guess but I’ll try. I will say, the PC12 is an extremely advanced aircraft that is sold to “owner/operators” and can be very challenging if things go wrong. I did a lot of mentoring for newly trained “owner/operators” and without exception their minds were rarely on the flying and were on something else. (i.e. business deals, home life issues, next meeting…) the PC12 is highly automated which relieves the pilots workload. One simple failure of a component or a little WX that was unexpected and things need concentration fast.
To be clear, I AM NOT BLAMING THE PILOT! I’m just giving a VERY early educated guess of a POSSIBLE situation.
