N268PJ

This airframe, registered as N268PJ, is a Pilatus PC-24 built by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd in 2022 and carrying manufacturer serial 268. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by ALTWATER AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Clinton, MT, US, which serves as its operator/home base. Notable registry activity includes its initial US registration upon manufacture in 2022 and subsequent listing in a corporate operator ledger; the airframe is described in records as a current corporate transport with an estimated market valuation of $11,000,000. Condition highlights reflect a contemporary build with factory-standard systems and typical executive outfitting for a near-new PC-24.

The cabin in this specific aircraft is specified as a typical executive layout, featuring club seating for 6–8 with an optional side‑facing divan and a light galley, and the airframe supports flexible 6–10 passenger reconfigurations depending on mission needs. Avionics fit is the Pilatus Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) — a Honeywell-based suite with optional SmartRunway/SmartLanding capabilities that support single-pilot or two-pilot operations and enhance situational awareness on short or unimproved fields. Typical operations for N268PJ would include regional executive transport and light charter missions from its Clinton, Montana base, taking advantage of the PC-24’s field performance; maintenance considerations align with factory support for FJ44 series engines and Pilatus avionics logbooks.

The PC-24 family occupies a niche as a light twinjet offering short-field capability combined with transcontinental range and a high cruise speed of 440 kts, making it competitive against light business jets from established manufacturers. Buyers seeking flexible cabin layouts and utility-oriented performance have driven demand for newer PC-24s, with resale and maintenance considerations often centered on engine time on the Williams FJ44-4A-QPM powerplants and the availability of Pilatus factory service. With an estimated value of $11,000,000, this 2022 airframe represents a modern entry in the light twinjet market where lifecycle support and avionics upgrade paths are important factors for prospective operators and charter fleets.
