N42MJ

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N42MJ, a 2024-built business jet manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. The airframe carries serial number 536 and is registered in the United States; it is registered in the US to PETIT MICHAEL of Dandridge, TN. The listed owner is PETIT MICHAEL, an individual based in Dandridge, TN, US, which also serves as the aircraft’s principal operator/home base for private operations. At the time of record, the airframe valuation is noted as $11,134,960, reflecting a new-production 2024-condition price indicator for this specific example.

The aircraft is configured from the factory family standard with a cabin concept supporting typical 2 crew + 6–10 passenger layouts, and is commonly outfitted in 6–8 executive seating arrangements with options for double-club or divan layouts. Avionics are provided by the Honeywell Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) installation, supporting modern flight-deck automation and crew workload reduction for single- or two-pilot operations. Operating from Dandridge, Tennessee, the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and 440-knot cruise speed position it for regional point-to-point business missions, executive transport, and private owner use. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe reflect new-production scheduling and manufacturer-supported service for a 2024 model, with typical attention to twin-engine inspection cycles and avionics software updates associated with the Honeywell ACE suite.

This specific airframe is a member of the Pilatus PC-24 family produced by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, representing a light-to-midsize fixed-wing multi-engine business jet niche with short-field capability and high cruise performance. The aircraft’s combination of a 45,000 ft ceiling, 440-knot cruise, and a 2,040 nm range targets owner-operators seeking a versatile executive transport platform. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 2024 build status, modern Honeywell avionics fit, and the documented ownership by an individual in the US, factors which typically affect market liquidity and operator support pathways.
