N231SV

This entry covers airframe N231SV, a factory-built Pilatus PC-24 bearing serial number 231 and completed in 2021 by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation DIRECT VENTURES MANAGEMENT LLC of Knoxville, TN, US, and is U.S.-registered (US). The listing for this specific airframe referenced an interior change to an 8-seat double-club configuration on its listing, while the manufacturer-configurable arrangement is a 9-seat executive layout; the airframe was valued at $11,134,960 on the listing at the time of record.

This airframe carries a manufacturer-configurable 9-seat executive layout with an aft cargo door, though the specific listing for N231SV indicated an 8-seat double-club interior on this airframe's listing, reflecting a common operator preference to optimize passenger comfort for business missions. Avionics are fitted as Honeywell Primus Epic 2.0 / Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) with 12" PFD/MFD displays, SmartView SVS, TCAS II and LPV capability, supporting mixed IFR/VFR operations and precision approaches. Typical missions for this configuration include regional business travel and on-demand charter over ranges up to 2,000 nm at cruise speeds near 440 kts, from the operator’s base in Knoxville, TN. The PC-24’s aft cargo door and flexible cabin layouts also influence maintenance and loading procedures specific to this airframe.

The Pilatus PC-24 occupies a niche as a light twinjet designed for short-field performance, executive transport and utility flexibility, competing with light-to-midsize business jets in its class. With twin Williams FJ44-4A-QPM engines delivering 3,433 lbf each, the type offers a blend of speed (approximate cruise 440 kts) and access to smaller airports. Demand among buyers and charter operators favors PC-24s with executive interiors and robust avionics such as Honeywell Primus Epic 2.0, factors that affect resale and charter appeal. The recorded market valuation of $11,134,960 for this 2021 airframe reflects contemporary pricing considerations, maintenance status, and interior configuration choices.
