N528RN

The airframe bearing registration N528RN is a Pilatus PC-24 manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, serial number 528, completed in 2024. The aircraft is recorded as owned by 3JS AIR LLC, an LLC based in Smithfield, NC, US, and is registered in the United States for fixed-wing multi-engine operations. As a factory-new 2024 build, N528RN entered civil registry with contemporary avionics and a full executive cabin fit, and is valued at $12,635,645 on available records. Maintenance and registry actions reflect a standard delivery and domestic operator basing in Smithfield, North Carolina.

The aircraft is outfitted with a flat-floor executive cabin featuring a typical 6–9 executive seating arrangement as configured at the factory, with options for up to 10/11 commuter seating and an optional enclosed lavatory. Avionics are installed as the Pilatus ACE suite (Honeywell Primus Epic / Advanced Cockpit Environment), supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operations in business or charter roles. Based at Smithfield, NC under 3JS AIR LLC, typical missions for this airframe would include regional and transcontinental business travel within its 2,000 nm range and high-speed cruise of 358 kts. Maintenance considerations align with twin Williams FJ44 turbofan support networks and Pilatus-specific component programs.

The Pilatus PC-24 family occupies a niche between light and midsize business jets, offering rugged short-field capability combined with runway performance and a flat-floor cabin. With a maximum cruise around 358 kts and service ceiling to 45,000 ft, it competes with other light twin-jet business aircraft in demand for flexible mission profiles and airfield access. Buyers and charter operators value the type for its cargo-door option and cabin versatility; resale considerations for a 2024 airframe such as N528RN generally reflect low-cycle, well-documented maintenance history and factory-equipped avionics when assessing market liquidity.
