N56DL

N56DL is a 2024 Pilatus PC-24 (MSN 516) registered in the United States to SWITCHBACK ARGENTINA LLC. The airframe carries Pilatus's signature versatile configuration — a flat-floor cabin with an aft cargo door and the ACE flight deck — and is certificated for short and unpaved field operations while operating at a maximum altitude of 45,000 ft. The registration certificate was issued 2024-05-28 and the airworthiness date is 2024-04-11; the aircraft is currently active and assigned N56DL.

N56DL is configured in a typical business/executive layout (nine-seat registry entry) and uses two Williams FJ44-4A-QPM turbofan engines producing roughly 3,400 lbf each. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional point-to-point executive transport, resort and rough-field access, and short-haul commuter work — missions that take advantage of the PC-24's large cargo door and short-field performance. The cockpit is fitted with the Pilatus ACE advanced flight deck (Honeywell-based displays and automation) and the aircraft is eligible for Pilatus CrystalCare maintenance programs and Williams TAP engine programs.

The PC-24 is Pilatus's super-versatile light jet: a clean-sheet twin-engine design with a flat-floor cabin that competes with light jets like the CJ4 and Phenom 300 while offering superior rough-field capability and a large aft cargo door. Performance highlights include approximately 2,000 nm long-range capability (typical configuration), a maximum cruise near 440 ktas (around Mach 0.72), a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and usable fuel capacity near 888 US gallons. New PC-24 pricing and market guidance in 2024–2025 placed new examples in the low-to-mid teens (USD millions) and used examples commonly trade in the high single-digit to low double-digit millions depending on year, specification and programs. Photographic and tracking records show test flights under Swiss registration during factory flights and subsequent U.S. registration and active regional operations after delivery in 2024.
