Towing a Pilatus PC-12

Does anyone know if it is acceptable to tow a PC-12 with the control lock engaged without causing damage? I cannot find it anywhere in the POH. Thanks.

If the rudder isn't locked, it will be fine.

Perfectly fine. There is no way to lock the rudder. On the early models, the rudder and aileron is not interconnected until flaps 15 is selected. The /47 models are always interconnected, but no damage will occur from towing the airplane.

When I ran line service I had no problems towing a PC-12.
