Pilatus Expects PC-24 First Delivery by Year-end
Swiss manufacturer Pilatus is readying for its much-hyped twin jet to receive type certification by the end of December.
As part of the effort to prepare the PC-24 for service, Pilatus has ramped up 24/7 customer service and developed a full-motion flight simulator in cooperation with FlightSafety International.

Pilatus is closing in on certification and first delivery of its new PC-24 “Super Versatile” jet, hoping for both by the end of the year. Speaking at a press conference on Monday at NBAA 2017, Pilatus CEO Marcus Bucher said, “We are at the very end of the development program.” The three development aircraft (P01, P02 and P03) have so far completed more than 2,000 hours over some 1,250 flights.
