N781LT

This entry covers airframe N781LT, a 2024-built Pilatus PC-24 with manufacturer serial number 337. The aircraft is manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd and is registered in the United States; it is owned by LUXEMBORG TRADING LLC, an LLC based in McAllen, TX, US. The airframe’s registration and ownership are recorded to a corporate operator in McAllen, indicating a US-based operational and regulatory base. As a recently built example with a stated market value of $13,000,000, the airframe represents a late-production PC-24 in current commercial and executive service.

The configuration for N781LT is a nine-seat layout consistent with light business and multi-mission use, pairing a compact passenger cabin with a ramp-capable cargo door typical of the PC-24 family. Avionics on this specific airframe are the factory-fitted Pilatus ACE (Honeywell Primus Epic-based avionics) suite, supporting modern cockpit automation, situational awareness and mixed commercial/regulatory operation. Typical mission profiles enabled by the type certificate and this airframe’s stated performance include medium-range point-to-point executive transport and light cargo or charter hops within its 2,040 nm range and 440 kt cruise speed, operating from the owner’s base in McAllen, TX, US. Maintenance considerations reflect a new 2024 build with manufacturer support pathways through Pilatus Aircraft Ltd and OEM engine support for the Williams FJ44 series.

The Pilatus PC-24 occupies a niche as a light twinjet that blends short-field and utility capabilities with business-jet cruise performance; N781LT exemplifies that mix through its 45,000 ft ceiling and a 3,433 lbf thrust-per-engine rating. Competing models in the light twinjet/executive market emphasize cabin flexibility and runway performance; buyers and charter operators often prioritize the PC-24’s versatility and cargo-door option when evaluating lifecycle value. For resale and maintenance, the aircraft’s 2024 build date, OEM avionics Pilatus ACE, and the Williams engine commonality support market demand, while corporate ownership and US registration simplify regulatory and operational continuity.
