PC-24

Yes. The Pilatus PC-24 holds single-pilot certification under FAA and EASA. The type rating is available exclusively at the Pilatus Training Center in Buochs, Switzerland, at approximately $28,000. Book well in advance — courses fill 3–6 months out.

The PC-24 is the only single-pilot certified business jet with a rear cargo door, enabling pallet loading of medical equipment or oversized luggage. Combined with unpaved runway capability (gravel, grass, and dirt strips), it bridges the gap between a rugged turboprop and a jet.

The PC-24 requires approximately 2,820 ft (860 m) for takeoff at MTOW and can land in approximately 2,500 ft (762 m). It is approved for operations on unpaved surfaces — opening destinations that no other business jet can serve.

Variable costs run approximately $2,000–$2,400/hr. Annual fixed costs typically total $280,000–$360,000 including Pilatus's MSP program, insurance, and crew. At 300 hours/year, total annual cost is approximately $900,000–$1.1M.

The Citation Latitude is the better pure-passenger jet: wider cabin, more range, and lower per-hour cost. The PC-24 wins on versatility: single-pilot certification, cargo door, and unpaved runway access. For operators who need a multi-role aircraft, the PC-24 has no direct competitor.
