Applicability for Aircraft serial numbers are listed in the ODR table.

2.2 OPERATIONS

2.2.1 GENERAL
All PC-24 operations permitted by the latest EASA approved issue of the PC -24 AFM at the time of
issue of this OSD-FC report have been evaluated.

2.2.2 ALL WEATHER / LOW VISIBILITY OPERATIONS (LVO)


PC-24 operations to lower than ILS Category I minima have not been evaluated.

2.3 AIRCRAFT APPROACH CATEGORY


With reference to Part-CAT, CAT.OP.MPA.320(b) the approach category for the PC-24 is as follows:

Aircraft Category
PC-24 B

This category is based on the approach speed provided by the manufacturer and need to be
reconsidered if operators increase the approach speed.

2.4 MAXIMUM ALTITUDE FOR SP OPERATIONS


The aircraft volume is very small and a decompression will lead to a fast reduction of pressure in
the cabin and cockpit. When pressurization is lost, the time of useful consciousness without
additional emergency oxygen decreases rapidly with increasing operating altitudes.
[AMC] Operators should establish a maximum altitude for SP operations when not permanently
wearing the oxygen mask.

2.5 ABNORMAL AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES – SP AND MP OPERATIONS [AMC]


The Emergency / Abnormal procedures in the manufacturer’s QRH and AFM, provide guidance to
operators and should be followed as closely as possible.
A QRH should be available for all operations.
Operators should ensure that appropriate Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and realistically
achievable Normal, Abnormal and Emergency procedures are available for SP, as well as for MP
operations.
The SOP should include clear instructions on the termination of a flight in case of an emergency /
abnormal situation during SP operations, taking into account the increase of workload for the si ngle
pilot. Part-CAT, AMC5 CAT.OP.MPA.110(8) contains aerodrome operating minima for SP operations.
Note: Normal and abnormal procedures are specifically designed for SP operations, to be
conservative and simple, without cumbersome troubleshooting steps for abnormal procedures.
Differentiation for MP operations should focus on incorporating the crew coordinat ion of checklist

Operational Suitability Data Document No: 02423


Issued: January 27, 2021 Page 16 of 37
PC-24
EASA Operational Suitability Data (OSD) - Flight Crew

execution in the operator's SOP. The FCOM gives adequate guidance for how to conduct crew
coordination during MP checklist operations.

2.6 AUTOPILOT
Part-ORO, ORO.FC.202 contains provisions for SP operations under IFR or at night which include
pilot experience and currency, conversion and recurrent training, as well as checking requirements.
In accordance with Part-CAT, CAT.IDE.A.135, an autopilot with at least altitude hold and heading
mode is required when operating under IFR in SP operations.

2.7 AIRBORNE WEATHER RADAR


In accordance with Part-CAT, CAT.IDE.A.160 and AMC1 CAT.IDE.A.160, an airborne weather radar is
required when operating the PC-24 at night or in IMC in areas where thunderstorms or other
potentially hazardous weather conditions, regarded as detectable with airborne weather detecting
equipment, may be expected to exist along the route.

2.8 PART-CAT, SUBPART D – INSTRUMENTS, DATA, EQUIPMENT


EU operators must show compliance with applicable elements of Annex IV to EU Regulation
956/2012 (Part-CAT, Subpart D), prior to beginning commercial transport operations.
The PC-24 is designed to support Part-CAT, Subpart D operations with the necessary optional
equipment installed.
Operator specific items have not been evaluated. Operators must de monstrate to the competent
Authority, compliance with Part-CAT, Subpart D (Instruments, Data, and Equipment) relevant to their
aircraft prior to entry into service.

5 SPECIFICATIONS FOR PILOT TRAINING

5.1 PILOT PREREQUISITES AND PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE


[M] Part-FCL, FCL.720.A applies regarding experience requirements and prerequisites for type
ratings for SP high performance complex aeroplanes and for MP operations. In addition, pilots must
have a minimum of 500 hrs. total flying experience when operating a PC-24 as SP or as PIC in MP
operations.

[AMC] Prior knowledge on advanced EFIS, FMS operation and integrated avionics is recommended
for PC-24 initial type rating training. Pilots without this previous experience in such systems should
be offered additional training either integrated into the Initial Type Rating course or prior to entry
into the training programmes described in this report.

[AMC] Pilots with limited or no experience of high performance aeroplanes will benefit from
additional training which should be completed before starting the type rating course: a High
Performance Airplane Course or ATPL Theory Course will suffice.

[AMC] ATOs should have a method of determining if additional training is necessary in case of little
or no experience with automatic flying (FMS, PFD, glass cockpit) and/or high performance
aeroplanes. This can be accomplished through a pre -screening process or a signed declaration /
pre-requisites form by the applicant that verifies automatic flying experience.

[M] Pilots undergoing training for their first SP crew qualification on a single pilot high performance
complex ACFT, or having less than 500 hours experience in SP operations, shall conduct the initial
training as well as their skill test in SP operation.

[AMC] Pilots undergoing training as MP crew should have completed an MCC course, before
commencing MP training for a PC-24 type rating.

[AMC] For MP operations CRM and MCC aspects should be incorporated throughout the theoretical
and practical training.

[AMC] ATOs should review their training courses when applicable aircraft modifications occur.

6 PC-24 INITIAL TYPE RATING TRAINING

6.1 THEORETICAL TRAINING


[AMC] Theoretical training should include classroom / CBT training and System Integration using a
suitable OTD device. 44.5 hours are recommended for classroom / CBT training and 6 hrs are
recommended for additional System Integration. Theoretical training should include a method to
ensure a level of knowledge and competency.

Operational Suitability Data Document No: 02423
