N126AF

This entry covers airframe N126AF, a factory-built Pilatus PC-24 delivered in 2019 with serial number 126. The aircraft is manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd and is registered in the US; its registered owner is HFD JB LLC, a limited liability company based in Portsmouth, NH, US, which represents the primary ownership record in public filings. The fleet history for this specific tail has no additional operators listed beyond the registered owner, and valuation assessments place the airframe at $10,100,000, reflecting its relatively recent production year and standard executive configuration.

The cabin of N126AF is fitted in an operator-configured executive layout described as Executive 1+8 / 9-place executive layout, supporting business missions with seating for nine. Avionics are the Pilatus Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) based on Honeywell Primus Epic, which provides integrated flight management, displays and systems appropriate for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator procedures. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 2,000 nm range and 440 kts cruise capability, would include short- to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter sectors operated from its Portsmouth, NH base. Maintenance considerations center on twin Williams International FJ44-4A engines and type-specific avionics upkeep under manufacturer-recommended programs.

The Pilatus PC-24 family occupies a light-to-mid-size business jet niche characterized by short-field capability and flexible cabin configurations; this airframe’s combination of 9 seats, 2,000 nm range, and 45,000 ft ceiling positions it for owner-operators and charter operators seeking a versatile, utility-oriented executive jet. Competing models in the market typically include light jets offering similar speed and range, while the PC-24’s factory-supported avionics package and robust value at $10,100,000 influence buyer demand and resale considerations. Maintenance and resale trajectories for a 2019 serial 126 benefit from Pilatus support and the commonality of the FJ44-4A engine line within the light-jet sector.
