New PC-24 Type Rating! 

Thanks!!! Definitely an interesting airplane to hear about!

Thanks, its been a busy season but excited for some new stories coming!

Good question. Honestly I’m not sure! I’ll reach out to Braxton and see if he knows! Unless there’s another PC-24 expert in the audience!

@@HangarTalkFS Thanks! It should be more than 715 lbs from what I can tell. I've been seeing that figure since the PC24 was introduced in 2018. Yet in 2021, Pilatus put in the new LiOn batteries which weigh some 84 pounds less than what they had before, and they also added lighter seats. I guess all this would result in an increased payload cap, may be even add some range? Also, for most jets of this class, the payload w/ full fuel figures are given with the seats in place since they are essentially transport jets. But, in the PC24 the seats can be removed by the client to make room for cargo, which would mean we should be able to add more useful weight. So, are the PC24 payload numbers inclusive of seats or exclude them? I'd imagine Pilatus would try to capitalize on such figures since it would really drive home the "Super Versatile Jet" idea :)

You can be typed while holding a commercial pilot certificate and operate part 91 without any issue. If you were flying for a 135 operator you would not be able to operate as PIC on any 135 trips without an ATP.

Flight Safety in Dallas is where Braxton did his training. I'm not sure how many training centers actually exist out there for the PC-24 though.

The aviation industry is far tougher than they say, the pilot shortage is not real, you need hard work and lots of luck to get jobs, oh and a collage degree.
