N175SW Aircraft Overview
N175SW is a FAIRCHILD British Aerospace Jetstream 31 registered in the United States with serial number on file. Turboprop aircraft combine the reliability of turbine engines with the fuel economy of propeller-driven flight, making them the preferred platform for short-haul operations and unpaved-strip access. The registered owner holds the certificate as a llc entity based in Anchorage, AK. The aircraft received its FAA airworthiness certificate on Dec 15, 2005, maintaining continuous certification for 20 years.
British Aerospace Jetstream 31 Market Position
The Jetstream 31 is a 19-seat commuter turboprop that served regional airlines worldwide from the 1980s onward. Its Garrett TPE331 engines and pressurized cabin provide reliable short-haul service. Many have been converted to corporate or cargo configuration after retiring from scheduled airline operations.
Performance Profile
The British Aerospace Jetstream 31 cruises at approximately 264 knots with a range of 765 nautical miles. While slower than jets on longer legs, turboprops are more fuel-efficient on missions under 500 nautical miles. Power comes from 2x Honeywell TPE331-10UGR. The aircraft operates effectively at altitudes up to 25000 feet.
Mission Profile
Turboprops serve missions where runway access matters more than speed: rural airstrips, mountain airports, island operations, and routes under 600 miles where the time difference versus a jet is marginal. The British Aerospace Jetstream 31 seats up to 19 passengers and often requires less than 3,000 feet of runway.
Charter Authorization
N175SW operates under a Part 135 certificate held by TransNorthern LLC, authorizing on-demand charter operations. Contact us for availability and routing.
Insider Note
Turboprops burn roughly 40% less fuel per hour than comparable light jets. On legs under 400 miles, the total trip time difference is often less than 20 minutes once you factor in taxi, climb, and descent. The cost savings can be substantial over a year of regular flying.
