N556AF

This article describes the specific Pilatus PC-24 airframe bearing registration N556AF, manufacturer serial number 556, delivered in 2025. The airframe is owned by APPLEBY MANAGEMENT LLC, a corporate owner based in Portsmouth, NH, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe carries a two‑engine configuration and is valued at $11,500,000; its 2025 build year and corporate ownership are the primary notations in its registry history. No prior individual ownership or alternative registry entries are recorded in the supplied data.

The installed cabin on N556AF is configured as a 9-seat executive/commuter layout (flexible 6–10 passenger arrangements), supporting mixed executive transport and regional commuter roles depending on interior reconfiguration. The avionics fit is the Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) — Honeywell (Primus Epic-based) with SmartView synthetic vision, providing integrated flight management, situational awareness and enhanced approach capability. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 2,000 nm range and 440 kt cruise speed, would include transregional business travel and on-demand charter legs from its operator base in Portsmouth, NH, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect the two Williams FJ44 series turbofan engines, and corporate ownership implies operator-driven scheduled upkeep and record retention aligned with the aircraft’s 2025 manufacture date.

As a member of the Pilatus PC-24 family, N556AF occupies the light-to-mid-size business jet niche characterized by short-field performance and a versatile cabin adaptable to commuter or executive roles. With cruise performance of 440 kt and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the type competes with light twin‑engine jets offering similar speed and range but distinguishes itself by its flexible cabin and rugged airfield capability. Market demand for factory‑new examples and late‑model airframes typically centers on corporate operators and charter companies seeking a multi‑mission platform; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect the modern avionics suite and Williams FJ44 engine support infrastructure.
