What the Pilatus PC-24 is like
Pilatus' "Super Versatile Jet": light-jet economics with a flat-floor cabin for 6-8 (up to 10 in commuter layout), a pallet-sized rear cargo door, and short/unpaved-strip capability no other jet in the class matches, opening up fields like Saanen-Gstaad or gravel strips outright. Roughly 4-hour legs (~2,000 nm) make it a favorite for Alpine, safari and regional missions where the runway, not the range, picks the aircraft.
Where the Pilatus PC-24 flies nonstop
Great-circle distances between business aviation airports, against its 2,000 nm range. We mark a route near the limit once it uses more than 85 percent of the published range, because a full cabin or a headwind can turn it into a fuel stop.
| Route | Distance | Nonstop? | Time at cruise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles (VNY) to Las Vegas (LAS) | 199 nm | Within range | 25 min |
| Paris (LBG) to Nice (NCE) | 375 nm | Within range | 1 hour |
| London (FAB) to Geneva (GVA) | 407 nm | Within range | 1 hour |
| New York (TEB) to Palm Beach (PBI) | 902 nm | Within range | 2 hours |
| New York (TEB) to Nassau (NAS) | 964 nm | Within range | 2 hours |
| New York (TEB) to Los Angeles (VNY) | 2,129 nm | Needs a fuel stop | – |
| Los Angeles (VNY) to Honolulu (HNL) | 2,217 nm | Needs a fuel stop | – |
| London (FAB) to Dubai (DXB) | 2,978 nm | Needs a fuel stop | – |
| New York (TEB) to London (FAB) | 2,986 nm | Needs a fuel stop | – |
| Los Angeles (VNY) to Tokyo (HND) | 4,746 nm | Needs a fuel stop | – |
| New York (TEB) to Dubai (DXB) | 5,941 nm | Needs a fuel stop | – |
| New York (TEB) to Hong Kong (HKG) | 6,989 nm | Needs a fuel stop | – |
Time at cruise leaves out taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds, so a real block time runs longer.
