N586AT Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Pilatus PC-12 delivers 285-knot performance across 1,845 NM. N586AT is powered by 1x Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67P at 1,200 SHP. An operating ceiling of 30,000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather while maintaining fuel efficiency.
Mission Profile
For regional missions with moderate passenger loads, the Pilatus PC-12 provides the best economics. N586AT seats 9 in a 16.9 ft cabin that handles the distances and airports that define turboprop operations.
Charter Authorization
N586AT holds Part 135 authorization. Turboprop charter rates are the most accessible in private aviation. Reach out to discuss this aircraft or alternatives.
Insider Note
Turboprops like the Pilatus PC-12 access airstrips that no jet can reach. N586AT can operate from runways under 2,500 feet, paved or unpaved, opening up thousands of airports across rural and mountainous regions.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N586AT is a 2013 helicopter held by HESSWINDS LLC. This briefing covers the charter economics and operational context for this rotorcraft.
Fleet Position
Over 10,000 helicopters are on active U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N586AT based in CALDWELL, ID. The U.S. helicopter fleet serves EMS, offshore oil and gas, law enforcement, utility, VIP transport, and flight training. Maintenance infrastructure is extensive, with turbine helicopter service available at most major airports.
Charter Availability
N586AT is Part 135 charter authorized. Helicopter charter rates range from $1,500 to $8,000 per flight hour depending on type and configuration. VIP helicopter charter serves urban transfers (Manhattan to JFK in 8 minutes), resort access, and event transportation where ground travel times exceed 2 hours.
Market Position
A 2013 production date places N586AT in the current generation with FADEC engines, glass cockpit avionics, and modern safety systems. Pre-owned values sit at $2M to $15M. Current-generation helicopters offer the latest in crash survivability, automation, and operational efficiency.
Acquiring a current-generation helicopter provides access to the latest autorotation aids, health and usage monitoring systems (HUMS), and terrain awareness. These systems reduce accident rates and insurance premiums while improving dispatch reliability.
Mission Profile
Helicopters serve point-to-point missions between 10 and 300 nautical miles. Manhattan heliport to Teterboro Airport in 8 minutes. Downtown Los Angeles to Van Nuys in 12 minutes. Resort to resort along coastlines with no airport required. The helicopter eliminates ground transfer time entirely.
When to Choose Something Else
Pass on helicopters if noise sensitivity matters. Helicopters produce significantly more noise than fixed-wing aircraft, and many communities restrict helicopter operations with curfews and flight path limitations. Verify local helicopter restrictions before committing to regular operations.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft management companies handle the operational complexity of jet ownership. They provide crew, maintenance tracking, regulatory compliance, insurance, and hangar coordination. Management fees run $8,000 to $25,000 per month depending on aircraft size. For owners who fly 100 to 300 hours annually, professional management reduces risk and administrative burden while maintaining access to Part 135 charter revenue.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Engine program enrollment significantly affects aircraft value and operating economics. Programs like Rolls-Royce CorporateCare, Pratt & Whitney Eagle Service Plan, and Honeywell MSP spread major engine costs into predictable hourly rates. Aircraft enrolled in these programs command 10 to 20% higher resale values than non-enrolled equivalents because buyers avoid the risk of unbudgeted engine overhauls.
