In its current production form the Pilatus PC-7 Mk II is structurally similar to its more powerful stablemate, the PC-9.

This front cockpit instrument and control layout is indicative of that available for the PC-7 Mk II (M), the ‘M’ designation indicating the modular nature of the aircraft, where the choice of systems and avionics can be tailored to meet the needs of the customer's specific training requirement. This is likely to be an increasing feature of basic trainers, and might help reduce training costs and logistics support.
