N302PE Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
At 470 knots, N302PE's Bombardier Challenger 300 handles 4-5 hour missions with ease. The 3,100 NM range covers New York to Los Angeles, Miami to Seattle, or the eastern U.S. to the Caribbean without a fuel stop. 2x Honeywell HTF7000 at 6,826 lbs per side provide the power.
Mission Profile
For operators who need more cabin than a midsize jet but less operating cost than a heavy, the Bombardier Challenger 300 fills the gap. N302PE seats 10 passengers with 25.2 ft of cabin length and 7.2 ft width for productive travel.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N302PE. This Bombardier Challenger 300 operates under a Part 135 certificate for domestic and select international missions. Contact The Jet Finder to check scheduling and positioning.
Insider Note
One pattern in this segment: super-midsize jets frequently replace two smaller aircraft in a flight department. The Bombardier Challenger 300's combination of range, cabin size, and operating economy means N302PE can handle missions that would previously have required a light jet and a separate heavy jet.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N302PE is a 2007 Bombardier Challenger 350 registered to . The 350 redefined the super-midsize category. Here is the charter and acquisition intelligence for this airframe.
Fleet Position
Over 800 Challenger 300/350/3500 aircraft are in service globally, with approximately 350 on U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N302PE based in 10 passengers, . The Challenger 350 is the most-chartered super-midsize jet in North America. Fleet density ensures availability in every major market, and the 350's popularity means crew pools are deep and positioning costs are competitive.
Charter Availability
N302PE is Part 135 charter authorized. Challenger 350 charter rates range from $5,000 to $7,000 per flight hour. The 350 sits at the price-performance sweet spot: enough cabin for 8 to 10 passengers, 3,200 nm range for coast-to-coast nonstop, and Mach 0.83 cruise that matches large-cabin jets at 30% lower hourly rates. Positioning from 10 passengers adds $3,000 to $6,000.
Market Position
As a 2007 airframe, N302PE is a Challenger 300, the original variant that established the super-midsize category. These aircraft trade between $7M to $11M. The 300 shares the same fuselage and cabin dimensions as the 350 but has the older HTF7000 engines and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics (versus the 350's enhanced Pro Line 21 with touchscreen controllers).
Pre-buy priorities: HTF7000 hot section status ($500,000 to $700,000 per engine), APU condition, and avionics software baseline. The 300's performance is 95% of the 350's at 50% of the acquisition cost. For budget-conscious buyers who want a super-mid cabin, the Challenger 300 is the most compelling value in the category.
Mission Profile
The Challenger 350 handles coast-to-coast nonstop with margin to spare. Teterboro to Van Nuys in 4 hours 30 minutes. Miami to Seattle in 5 hours. Chicago to Los Angeles in 3 hours 40 minutes. The 3,200 nm range covers every U.S. city pair and reaches the Caribbean, Mexico, Bermuda, and western Europe with one stop. The flat-floor, standup cabin seats 8 to 10 with a full galley and enclosed lavatory.
When to Choose Something Else
Pass on the Challenger 350 if cabin width is the deciding factor. At 6.1 feet wide, the 350 is narrower than the Challenger 650 (7.2 feet), G550 (8.2 feet), and Falcon 900 (7.7 feet). For passengers who need a divan for sleeping on overnight flights, the 350 cabin is comfortable for sitting but tight for reclining side-by-side. Step up to a wide-body if rest quality matters.
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.
Charter Market Context
The Jet Finder sources charter aircraft from a network of vetted Part 135 operators. We do not own aircraft. This broker model ensures clients see competitive options across multiple operators rather than being limited to a single fleet. Pricing transparency comes from comparing 3 to 5 operator quotes on every request. The client sees all options and chooses based on aircraft, price, and operator quality.
