From the holder of the 18th slot for a pc24, their salesperson told them last week the final top speed has been upped to 450 vs original 420ish projection.

Seems like a big deal if true. That’s premier speed.


I was surprised comparing the initial PC24 numbers against the CJ4 and P300 that it was several knots slower. The last several months Pilatus was hinting in their press releases that they would beat initial numbers but 30kts! Sandbaggers!

Better to under-promise, and over-deliver, than the other way round, yeah? Impressive airplane!

Oh no, dont tell Mike C, they only put 1 engine on it!


THE Royal Flying Doctor Service has bought itself a $12 million present to celebrate its 90th birthday – and it promises to cut flying time for some emergencies by almost half.

The single-engine Pilatus PC-24 is being built in Switzerland and is expected to arrive at the service’s Adelaide Airport base later this year in time for the anniversary celebrations.

The second engine must be optional.

I'm 6'3" and bigger than Jason. It was super comfortable. I recently sat in the Phenom 300 as well, and this is so much more comfortable for me than the Phenom.

I've never wanted to win the lottery more. The -24 is just so perfect. I couldn't get over how comfortable it really is, the cockpit is just a bigger, better PC12NG cockpit with an extra throttle, and no PCL. Can't wait to get a flight in one.

I wish I took a better picture for size comparison though. The middle picture is me right seat in the -24 (fiancé left seat). Third picture is me in a -12.

Awesome.... Thanks for the PIREP. Nice to hear it's so much more comfy than the Phenom 300.

Hell, maybe I should just keep the PC12 til PC24 prices come down? :D

I don't get how you could get rid of the 12. Just too perfect.

Well.... I still have it so I guess I agree with you.
