N242PJ

This airframe, registered as N242PJ, is a 2021-built Pilatus PC-24, serial number 242, and is owned by 242 PARTNERS LLC (an LLC based in Erie, PA, US). The aircraft is entered on the U.S. registry and is noted as having been registered/configured as a 9-seat layout for this operator. Valuation records indicate a market value of $10,500,000, which situates this example within the recent production cohort of PC-24s and reflects contemporary configuration and avionics fit. No additional historical ownership transfers or major registry actions are published beyond the current LLC registration.

The aircraft is fitted in an executive cabin layout typical for the PC-24 family, described for this airframe as a 9-seat configuration with a flat floor and optional extended aft divan available in the type; in this instance the airframe is registered/configured for nine occupants. The avionics fit for N242PJ is the Pilatus ACE suite (Honeywell-based) featuring four 12-inch displays, synthetic vision, autothrottle, and advanced SmartRunway/SmartLanding capabilities, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operational concepts and enhancing situational awareness on short or austere fields. Typical mission profiles for this installation would include short-field access, regional point-to-point executive transport and charter operations from the owner/operator’s Erie, PA base; maintenance considerations follow the PC-24 program’s factory support and Williams engine maintenance schedules.

The Pilatus PC-24 family occupies a niche as a versatile light business jet with rugged field performance and a commodious cabin relative to its class. With a 2,040 nm range, 440 kts cruise and a 45,000 ft ceiling, the type competes with light-to-super light jets that emphasize runway performance and cabin flexibility rather than ultra-long-range capability. Demand among owner-operators and charter firms has been driven by the type’s ability to serve smaller airports; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect the factory avionics package and Williams engine support network, both factors that influence marketability and lifecycle costs.
