The PC24 appears to me to be a delightfully simple and straightforward aeroplane, I would just love to get my hands on one as private transport ---- Lotto??
Now let's hear from the Xsperts.
Tootle pip!!.
Not entirely the case - the instructors at Flightsafety have sent more than a few pilots home halfway through the course, and the FAA examiner made it very clear indeed this is not an aircraft for your average private pilot wanting to jump into their first jet. At the end of the day this is a large, fairly high performance jet in single-pilot terms.
It is not a Citation Mustang, or Cirrus jet.
Having said that, it handles beautifully, has no real vices and any pilot who has a decent amount of time in a 12NG (for familiarity with the avionics) and is both a competent instrument pilot as well as a decent hand-flyer should be able to get through.
