The Pilatus PC-24 combines turboprop versatility and light-jet performance capability with the spacious cabin of a mid-size business jet, and can access more destinations thanks to its ability to land on short or even unpaved runways.
The Pilatus PC-24 is a light business jet produced by Pilatus Aircraft in Switzerland. Introduced in May 2013, this aircraft was developed as an improvement of the Pilatus PC-12 jet. It received EASA and FAA type certification on December 7, 2017, and costumer delivery began two months later. Pilatus bills the PC-24 as the "Super Versatile Jet" in recognition of its above average performance on short and unpaved runways, with a take-off balanced field length of 2,690 ft. Landing distance over a 50 ft. obstacle is 2,525 ft. It is also the only aircraft in its class with a pallet-sized cargo door as standard equipment. The cabin-accessible baggage compartment is heated and pressurized. The PC-24 cabin is longer, wider, and taller than the other aircraft in its class, yet the short take-off and landing performance matches that of an advanced turboprop. This gives it the capability of operation on both paved and unimproved surfaces, allowing it access to as many as 21,000 airports worldwide, while also being suitable for operations in remote locations.
