N412RK

This entry covers the airframe bearing tail number N412RK, a 2023-built Pilatus PC-24 with serial number 324. The aircraft is recorded in the United States registry and ownership is held by the corporation DISTRIBUTORS DEVELOPMENT INC, located in Schofield, WI, US; ownership is documented as corporate-held in U.S. civil registers. The airframe is a recent-production model with factory delivery vintage of 2023 and carries an assessed market value of $11,134,960, reflecting a contemporary-condition, late-model status for the type. No additional operator changes or notable incidents are published for this specific registration.

The airframe is configured with a 9-seat cabin that supports configurable executive and cargo layouts and is fitted with a large cargo door, enabling mixed passenger/cargo missions and utility operations from prepared and unprepared fields. Avionics fit for this airframe includes Honeywell-equipped options, with features such as SmartRunway and SmartLanding available depending on the specific avionics selection for the model; model-specific Honeywell features vary. Typical mission profiles for this registration would include short-to-medium range corporate transport, light cargo lift, and special-use missions consistent with a nine-seat utility business jet operating from a Midwest corporate base. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe follow Pilatus and Williams engine schedules and corporate-operator maintenance programs; no specific maintenance history is published here.

The Pilatus PC-24 family occupies a niche between light business jets and utility turbofan aircraft, offering short-field ability, a large cargo door, and flexible cabin configurations. With a cruise around 440 kts and a range of 2,040 nm, the type competes with light-to-midsize jets offering similar speed and payload flexibility. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor operators requiring mixed passenger/cargo capability and access to shorter runways; resale values for recent-build airframes such as serial 324 remain strong, reflected by the assessed value of $11,134,960, while maintenance and avionics option selections (Honeywell SmartRunway/SmartLanding) can materially affect operation costs and marketability.
