The PC-24 prototype, P03, completed its maiden flight from Buochs airfield in Switzerland, marking a significant milestone in the development program. The aircraft flew for 2 hours and 5 minutes, demonstrating its capabilities. Certification is expected in the 4th quarter of 2017, with initial deliveries to pre-ordered customers to follow. Pilatus Chairman Oscar J. Schwenk expressed confidence in the program’s progress and the PC-24’s performance. The aircraft’s unique features, such as its cargo door and spacious cabin, are expected to make it a competitive player in the business jet market. This development was first reported by Pilatus.
