Applicability for Aircraft serial numbers are listed in the ODR table. Issue 001, Revision 5 of this report includes the PC-24 AYT training variant based on the PC- 24 AYT/TF variant. 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. Operational Suitability Data Document No: 02423 Issued: August 31, 2021 Page 15 of 36
PC-24 EASA Operational Suitability Data (OSD) - Flight Crew 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 single 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 coordination of checklist 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.
