Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N563SV, a 2025-built Pilatus PC-24 bearing serial number 563. The aircraft is owned and operated by the corporate entity Western Aircraft located in Boise, ID, US, and it carries a US registration. Delivered new in 2025 and retained in corporate service by Western Aircraft, the airframe presents as a current-production PC-24 example with factory-standard systems and a clean title record. Recent market valuation places this individual airframe at $10,100,000, reflecting its new-build status and contemporary equipment fit.
The cabin and mission fit for N563SV follow Pilatus PC-24 configuration norms with a versatile light business-jet interior suited to corporate transport and on-demand charter where permitted by the operator. Avionics are installed as a Honeywell ACE (Advanced Cockpit Environment) / Primus Epic‑class integrated display suite, providing a modern flightdeck architecture for single-pilot or two-pilot operations and advanced situational awareness on cross-country and continental missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-range transcontinental hops leveraging its 2,000 nm range and high-speed cruise of 440 kts, operating from Western Aircraft's base in Boise, ID, US. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect standard Pilatus PC-24 practices and Williams FJ44 engine support networks; being a new airframe reduces near-term heavy maintenance exposure.
The Pilatus PC-24 occupies a niche as a light twinjet with STOL-influenced field performance and cabin flexibility, positioned between light jets and midsize business aircraft for operators seeking runway access and speed. Competing models typically include other light twinjets offering similar payload-range tradeoffs; the PC-24 distinguishes itself with rugged airfield capability and a contemporary cockpit such as the Honeywell ACE fit on N563SV. For buyers and lessors, the aircraft’s factory-new condition and valuation at $10,100,000 inform resale timing and depreciation; maintenance and resale considerations hinge on standard support from Pilatus and Williams for the airframe and FJ44-4A-QPM engines respectively.
