N774QS Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N774QS's Bombardier Challenger 300 cruises at 470 knots with 3,100 nautical miles of range under NBAA IFR reserves. The 2x Honeywell HTF7000 produce 6,826 lbs per side, supporting operations up to 45,000 feet.
Mission Profile
N774QS's cabin measures 25.2 ft long, 7.2 ft wide, and 6.1 ft tall, seating up to 10. The super-midsize cross-section supports club seating, a conference table, and forward galley and lavatory.
Charter Authorization
N774QS's operator holds a Part 135 certificate covering on-demand charter domestically and internationally. The Bombardier Challenger 300's 3,100 NM range and 10-passenger cabin handle the majority of corporate charter missions.
Insider Note
Operating costs for the Bombardier Challenger 300 run $3,500-$5,000 per flight hour. For charter operators like N774QS's certificate holder, the super-midsize category generates strong yield because passengers get heavy-jet comfort at a lower hourly rate.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N774QS, a 2015 Challenger 350 under Unknown, sits in the fastest-growing segment of business aviation. Below is the operational and market context for this specific aircraft.
Fleet Position
Over 800 Challenger 300/350/3500 aircraft are in service globally, with approximately 350 on U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N774QS based in , . 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
N774QS 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 adds $3,000 to $6,000.
Market Position
N774QS is a 2015 Challenger 350, the upgraded variant Bombardier introduced in 2014 with HTF7350 engines, improved range, canted winglets, and the enhanced Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. Pre-owned values sit at $11M to $16M. Early 350s are in peak demand: modern capability with significant depreciation from the $27M list price.
The early 350 represents the sweet spot for super-mid acquisition. Enough depreciation to save $10M+ versus new, but modern enough that avionics, cabin, and engines are fully current-generation. Budget $650,000 to $850,000 annually for total operating costs at 400 hours including crew, hangar, insurance, and maintenance reserves.
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
