N442SW Aircraft Overview
N442SW is a Bombardier Challenger 850 registered in the United States with serial number on file. Light jets define the entry point for turbine-powered business aviation, offering jet speed and reliability with lower acquisition and operating costs than midsize or heavy platforms. The aircraft is registered under a corporation entity. The aircraft received its FAA airworthiness certificate on Jan 25, 2002, maintaining continuous certification for 24 years.
Bombardier Challenger 850 Market Position
The Challenger 850 is a business jet conversion of the CRJ-200 regional airliner, offering the longest cabin in the Bombardier lineup short of the Global family. Seating up to 15 in VIP configuration, it serves government, head-of-state, and large-group corporate missions where cabin volume outweighs speed and range requirements.
Performance Profile
The Bombardier Challenger 850 cruises at 459 knots with a published range of 2600 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x GE CF34-3B1. An operating ceiling of 41000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Light jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Bombardier Challenger 850 typically seats 15 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
Charter Authorization
N442SW operates under a Part 135 certificate held by SKYWEST CHARTER, authorizing on-demand charter operations. Contact us for availability and routing.
Insider Note
Light jets access thousands of airports that larger aircraft cannot reach. Runway requirements are typically under 4,000 feet, opening up regional and county airports closer to the final destination. This can save an hour or more of ground transportation compared to flying into a major hub.
