N86LB

The airframe bearing tail number N86LB is a 2022-build Pilatus PC-24, serial 286, manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. The aircraft is owned by Century Aircraft LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US. Registered to Century Aircraft LLC upon delivery, the airframe’s valuation is recorded at $11,134,960, with the airframe maintained to current standards for its category as a fixed-wing multi engine business jet.

The specific configuration for N86LB features flexible executive cabin layouts accommodating 6–10 passengers and includes a large cargo door to permit bulky baggage or mission equipment, enabling mixed passenger/cargo missions or special-mission conversions. Avionics are fitted with the Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) powered by Honeywell, supporting modern flight-management functions and situational awareness appropriate for long-range, high-speed cross-country operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include business point-to-point travel within its 2,000 nm range and higher-altitude cruise operations up to 45,000 ft at 440 kts, flown from its operator base in Wilmington, DE. Maintenance considerations reflect twin Williams FJ44-4A powerplants and the airframe’s adaptable cabin and cargo-door systems, which require integrated inspection protocols for both passenger cabin fittings and cargo-handling hardware.

As a member of the Pilatus PC-24 family, Pilatus PC-24 airframes occupy a performance niche combining light-jet speeds and range with utility features such as a large cargo door and flexible interiors. Competing models for buyers seeking similar mission flexibility include light-to-super-light business jets with utility options, while demand in charter and owner-operator markets favors PC-24s that balance short-field capability with transcontinental range. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe emphasize engine life on the Williams FJ44-4A pair, avionics currency for the Honeywell ACE suite, and documentation tied to its 2022 delivery and current corporate ownership by Century Aircraft LLC.
