Operations & Cabin

The airframe is registered for executive operation with an executive cabin configuration and a flat-floor layout, officially registered for 9 seats while typical executive arrangements would commonly accommodate 6-8 passengers. Avionics fit on this specific PC-24 includes the Honeywell Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) with dual 12" displays and SmartView synthetic vision, supporting advanced situational awareness and systems integration for crew operations. With a 2,000 nm range and a high-speed cruise of 440 kt, the aircraft is suited to medium- to long-range executive missions and charter legs from its operator base in Apex, North Carolina. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow manufacturer and type-specific schedules for the twin Williams FJ44-4A-QPM powerplants and Honeywell ACE avionics suite.

Model & Market Context

The subject airframe is a member of the Pilatus PC-24 family produced by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, representing a fixed-wing, multi-engine executive jet optimized for a combination of runway performance, flat-floor cabin ergonomics, and high cruise speed. Its performance figures, 440 kt cruise, 2,000 nm range, and 45,000 ft ceiling, define its operating niche for efficient regional and transcontinental executive travel. Market and resale considerations for this specific 2024 serial 520 unit center on modern avionics fitment and low-time, recent-build status, both of which support buyer and charter demand and can influence maintenance planning and retained value.
