Pilatus PC-24 Overview
The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft, produced from 2018-present.

The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 21 active Pilatus PC-24 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Williams FJ44-4A-QPM, each producing 3,420 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 440 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 400 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 45,000 feet puts the Pilatus PC-24 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 2,690 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 2,000 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Pilatus PC-24 handles regional cross-country routing — New York to Miami, Chicago to Dallas, or Los Angeles to Seattle. Typical hourly operating costs range from $2,400-$3,400 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Pilatus PC-24 cabin measures 23.0 ft long, 5.6 ft wide, and 5.1 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 10 passengers, with 90 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Honeywell Primus Apex avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Market Position
The only light jet certified for unpaved runway operations. The Pilatus PC-24 continues to serve corporate, charter, and private operators worldwide, supported by a strong aftermarket network and ongoing manufacturer support.
