N304DV

This airframe, registered as N304DV, is a 2023-built Pilatus PC-24 with serial number 304 manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. It is owned by DGV FAMILY PROPERTIES LLC, an LLC based in Houston, TX, US, and appears on the U.S. civil aircraft registry with a U.S. registration mark. The airframe’s recent build year and standard PC-24 fit suggest it entered service shortly after delivery in 2023 and remains in owner/operator hands rather than in commercial airline service. No public record of multiple prior owners or notable registry disputes is presented for this tail number.

The aircraft is outfitted with a flat-floor executive cabin and U.S. registration records show a nine-seat configuration consistent with an owner/operator executive layout, though operator-specific interior arrangements may vary. Avionics are listed as the Pilatus Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) based on Honeywell Primus Epic, the typical factory fit for PC-24 deliveries, providing integrated flight management, displays and advanced autopilot functionality. Typical missions for this airframe would include medium-range executive transport and fast point-to-point travel on routes within its 2,000 nm range and with cruise speeds near 440 knots, operating from a variety of airports including short-field or unimproved strips that the PC-24 is known to access. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine turbofan schedules for the Williams FJ44 series and reflect owner-operated standards under U.S. registry requirements.

The Pilatus PC-24 occupies a niche as a light business jet combining runway performance and a large, flat-floor cabin relative to class competitors, positioning it against aircraft such as light to super-light jets offering 1,500–2,000 nm capability. Its combination of 440-knot cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling provides competitive speed and altitude performance for owner/operators and charter operators seeking flexibility. Demand in the owner-operated and charter markets has favored well-equipped, newer airframes; the 2023 build year and common ACE/Honeywell avionics fit support favorable maintenance and resale profiles relative to older examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft will reflect the Williams FJ44 engine support network and the broader PC-24 aftermarket for parts and avionics upgrades.
