N728DL Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Cirrus Vision Jet delivers 311-knot performance across 1,200 NM of range. N728DL is powered by 1x Williams FJ33-5A at 1,846 lbs each. Very light jets operate from shorter runways than any other jet category.
Mission Profile
The Cirrus Vision Jet seats up to 5 passengers in a compact cabin measuring 12.2 ft long, 5.1 ft wide, and 4.1 ft tall. N728DL is purpose-built for short-haul missions where speed matters and passenger count is low.
Charter Authorization
N728DL is Part 135 certified for on-demand charter. The Cirrus Vision Jet offers the lowest hourly charter rate in the jet category. Contact us for availability.
Insider Note
Owner-operators are the primary market for the Cirrus Vision Jet. Many are certified for single-pilot operations, which eliminates the second crew member's salary. N728DL's specific certification and operator structure determine crew requirements.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
The 2022 helicopter bearing registration N728DL is held by BB CO LLC. Helicopters provide direct-to-destination service that eliminates the need for airports entirely.
Fleet Position
Over 10,000 helicopters are on active U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N728DL based in ENGLEWOOD, CO. 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
N728DL 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
N728DL is a new or near-new 2022 helicopter at $3M to $30M (new). New-production helicopters feature the latest powertrains, avionics suites, and cabin configurations. Full manufacturer warranty and the strongest resale retention apply.
Current-production light singles (R66, Bell 505) start at $1.5M. Light twins (Bell 429, AW109) range from $6M to $10M. Medium twins (AW139, S-76D) range from $12M to $20M. Heavy twins (AW189, S-92) range from $20M to $30M.
Mission Profile
Optimized for missions where vertical takeoff and landing capability is essential. EMS programs save lives by reaching accident scenes and hospitals directly. Offshore operators service platforms hundreds of miles from shore. Law enforcement provides aerial surveillance that ground units cannot replicate.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip helicopters for routes over 200 nm. At 130 to 170 knots, helicopters take twice as long as light jets over 200+ mile routes. For distances exceeding 150 miles, a combination of helicopter transfer plus fixed-wing jet provides the fastest door-to-door time.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft ownership in the United States falls under FAA registration requirements. Every U.S.-registered aircraft carries an N-number that links to public records including owner name, address, airworthiness date, and certificate type. The FAA Aircraft Registry maintains this data and updates it as aircraft change hands. Prospective buyers use these records to verify ownership history, lien status, and maintenance compliance before committing to an acquisition.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Avionics modernization drives both capability and market value. Aircraft with legacy analog instruments trade at significant discounts to those with modern glass cockpits (Garmin G5000, Collins Pro Line Fusion, Honeywell Primus Epic). ADS-B Out compliance is now mandatory in U.S. controlled airspace. Buyers should factor avionics upgrade costs into their acquisition budget when evaluating older airframes.
Charter Market Context
Empty leg pricing offers 25 to 75% discounts on published charter rates. These opportunities arise when an aircraft needs to reposition from a drop-off point back to base or to the next pickup location. The tradeoff is schedule inflexibility: departure time, date, and route are fixed by the operator's existing itinerary. The Jet Finder maintains an empty leg alert system for frequent charter clients.
