Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N224CR, is a Pilatus PC-24 built in 2021 with serial number 239. The aircraft is owned by CHRISTOPHER RANCH LLC, a corporation/LLC based in Gilroy, CA, US, and is entered on the U.S. registry as US-registered. There are no public records of multiple ownership transfers or major registry actions for this serial; the available record indicates single-corporate ownership since delivery. Condition and formal valuation details are not published in the supplied data.
The aircraft is outfitted in a reported VIP executive (9-seat) configuration, a layout optimized for corporate transport and short-to-medium long-range missions. Avionics are the manufacturer standard Honeywell Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) / 12" PFDs (manufacturer standard ACE package), supporting modern situational awareness and single-pilot capable operations where authorized. With a cruise of 440 kts and a range of 2,000 nm, typical missions for this airframe include cross-country executive transport and point-to-point flights from its operator base in Gilroy, CA, US to regional business hubs. The twin Williams FJ44-4A-QPM engines provide a high-thrust-to-weight ratio for rapid climb to a maximum certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, affecting fuel planning and maintenance intervals consistent with light twin-engine turbofan practice.
The Pilatus PC-24 family occupies a niche among light twin-engined business jets that emphasize short-field capability combined with transcontinental range for its class. The combination of a 2,000 nm range, 440 kts cruise speed, and a nine-passenger VIP cabin supports demand from corporate owners and charter operators seeking flexible, fast point-to-point performance. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect its modern 2021 build, standardized Honeywell ACE avionics, and the commonality and support network for the Williams FJ44-4A-QPM powerplants, all factors that typically influence lifecycle operating costs and marketability.
