Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N522YY, is a 2024 build of the Pilatus PC-24 with serial number 522, manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.. The aircraft is owned by Pilatus PC-12 Center de México, a Dealer/Authorized Centre based in Monterrey, Mexico, and carries a United States registration (US). The airframe’s documented valuation is $10,700,000, reflecting a new-build configuration with VIP outfitting and contemporary avionics; there are no public notations of damage or major refurbishment recorded in the supplied data.

The specific airframe is fitted in a VIP executive layout configured for 6–10 passengers with a continuous flat floor and a large cargo door, permitting mixed passenger and cargo or baggage-forward missions. Avionics are provided by the Honeywell Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE), supporting modern flight management, situational awareness and crew workload reduction for single- or two-pilot operations. With a maximum cruise of 440 kt and a ferry/mission range of 2,000 nm, the aircraft is suited to regional and transnational executive transport missions from its operator base in Monterrey, Mexico, while retaining U.S. registry. Its large cargo door and flat-floor cabin expand role flexibility but may influence routine maintenance access panels and door-system inspections as part of operator-specific checks.

The Pilatus PC-24 occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche with a focus on short-field capability, flexible cabin arrangements and utility-friendly features such as a large cargo door and flat floor. Against competing light twinjets, the type appeals to buyers and charter operators seeking a combination of turbofan performance (cruise 440 kt; ceiling 45,000 ft) and cabin versatility; demand typically centers on corporate, charter and special-mission roles. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 2024 airframe include operator support from the manufacturer and authorized dealer networks such as its current owner, and the airframe’s valuation of $10,700,000 will factor configuration, serial pedigree (522) and registry when assessed on the secondary market.
