N279AH

This entry documents the individual Pilatus PC-24 airframe bearing U.S. registration N279AH, a serial 219 example built in 2021 by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. The aircraft is recorded as owned and operated by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Hospital Authority (dba MedCenter Air), a corporate operator based in Charlotte, NC, US, and is configured for medical and executive/commuter missions. The airframe carries U.S. registration and a reported market valuation of $10,000,000. No other registry actions or prior ownership transfers are published in the provided data.

The aircraft is fitted in an operator 9-seat commuter/executive layout, with a notation that the typical PC-24 range of executive configurations (commonly 6–8 seats) is available, indicating this specific airframe leans toward higher passenger capacity for short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics are provided by the Honeywell Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) featuring dual 12" PFDs and SmartView synthetic vision, supporting modern situational awareness and single-pilot or two-pilot operational concepts. Based at Charlotte, NC, under the corporate ownership of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Hospital Authority (dba MedCenter Air), the airframe is suited to commuter, medevac, or on-demand executive transport profiles within its 2,000 nm range and 440 kt cruise capability. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Williams FJ44 series propulsion and Pilatus factory support infrastructure typical for this model.

The Pilatus PC-24 family occupies a light twin business jet niche that emphasizes short-field capability and flexible cabin layouts; this airframe, serial 219, aligns with that role through a nine-seat interior and robust range. Competing models for operators seeking commuter/Medevac and light charter capability include other light-cabin twins, but the PC-24’s combination of a 45,000 ft ceiling, 440 kt cruise, and modern Honeywell ACE avionics distinguishes its operational envelope. For buyers and lessors, considerations include the established Williams FJ44 engine support network and residual value associated with a 2021-built example valued at $10,000,000.
