What level of integrity is associated with a GEN failure?

A GEN failure, or generator failure, on the Pilatus PC-12 NG is associated with the Fourth Level of Integrity. This designation indicates that, while the aircraft is still operable, it may enter a state where critical systems are no longer being powered effectively.

At this level, certain non-essential systems may be lost, and the crew needs to rely on backup systems and have a clear understanding of the implications of running on reduced electrical capacity. Understanding this level of integrity is crucial for the pilots to manage the situation effectively and take appropriate actions, such as planning for a diversion or preparing for an alternate power source.

The integrity levels help pilots assess the severity of the failure and the operational capacity of the aircraft, thereby allowing them to make informed decisions during flight.
