I am not sure that the PC-21 class of high performance turbo trainer will survive long.
Modern training emphasize the importance of trainee cognitive ability in a modern combat environment, increasing the need for longer high performances flight time in the syllabus sessions on a cost effective manner. Hence, a modern trainer will take less time to climb to altitude, less time to recover from high G manoeuvres and spend more time into dynamics mode (high G turn, high alpha, beta departure)... All things that are only precious goddies in a turboprop trainer when even available (most are not).
Turboprops were a thing of peacetime when we had experts of all kinds professing the end of wars and counter terrorism activity as the model of future warfare. They were wrong.
It's time to move on.
