The PC-24 is now fully certification for rough field operations. The initial rough field certification allowed the PC-24 to land on dry sand and gravel, but the complete rough field certification allows the PC-24 to land on additional surfaces, such as grass, wet grass, mud and snow. Looking at the Grass Runway Supplement, rough numbers on a wet grass runway, almost doubles the takeoff distance; I'd assume because of the accelerate-stop distance.

At type school right now for the 24, it will be a great short field off airport machine. Super low tire pressure (57psi on nose and 73psi on mains). Big lift dump spoilers, big flaps. Gobs of power. We take delivery March 5th. Can’t wait!

This may change the equation for some medevacs when you can go straight from an outlying facility to Seattle for services that may not be available in Anchorage. Yes, there is one based out of Barrow AK now flying as a medevac. Perfect mission for the plane. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N827HB

That's the borough owned medevac plane. They seem to fly practice approaches into the gravel strips but don't touch down (yet). It'll be interesting to see whether they make it part of their regular operattions to go into the gravel strips.
The other users I could see would be the oil folks to move staff around or ship critical parts.
