About this aircraft
The Pilatus PC-24 is marketed as the "Super Versatile Jet": a light jet with rough-field capability and a large cargo door unusual in the class.
Pilatus stresses paved and unpaved runway access, short-field performance, and a modular cabin that can mix passengers and cargo. Williams FJ44 engines and the Pilatus ACE cockpit support single-pilot certification in applicable configurations.
It shines when the destination airport is short, remote, or otherwise awkward for conventional light jets.
