N871FR Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Gulfstream Miscellaneous delivers 450 knots at cruise altitude with 3,500 nautical miles of range. N871FR's Varies produce Varies per side, supporting an operating ceiling of 45,000 feet. That altitude keeps the aircraft above most turbulence and commercial traffic.
Mission Profile
For operators flying 4-6 hour missions with 8-12 passengers, the Gulfstream Miscellaneous delivers the right balance. N871FR seats up to 14 in a 40.0 ft cabin with 7.3 ft width. Stand-up headroom at 6.1 ft means passengers move freely between zones.
Charter Authorization
This Gulfstream Miscellaneous is Part 135 certified for charter operations. N871FR is available through its certificated operator for missions requiring heavy-jet cabin space and transcontinental range. Contact us for a quote.
Insider Note
Operating costs for the Gulfstream Miscellaneous typically run $4,000-$6,000 per flight hour. That includes fuel, crew, maintenance reserves, and insurance. N871FR's operator carries these costs as part of a Part 135 program, where hourly revenue from charter offsets fixed expenses.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N871FR is a 2018 Beechcraft held by . Over 7,600 King Airs have been delivered since 1964. This briefing covers charter economics and market reality.
Fleet Position
Over 7,600 King Airs and Beechcraft twins are in service worldwide. FAA data shows N871FR based in 14 passengers, . The King Air dominates the U.S. turboprop market: more installed aircraft, more available parts, more qualified mechanics, and more type-rated pilots than any competing turboprop platform.
Charter Availability
N871FR is Part 135 charter authorized. King Air charter rates range from $1,600 to $2,800 per flight hour, the most affordable category in turbine-powered aviation. The King Air serves routes under 800 nm where jet speed is unnecessary but pressurization, weather capability, and twin-engine safety are required.
Market Position
N871FR is a current-generation 2018 King Air 360 or 260 at $7M to $8M (new). The 360/260 feature the Collins Pro Line Fusion touchscreen avionics, autothrottle, and digital pressurization. These aircraft represent 60 years of King Air evolution in the most refined form.
At new pricing, the King Air 360 competes with the Pilatus PC-12 ($5.5M) and Cessna Caravan ($3M). The King Air offers twin-engine safety, more cabin volume, and faster cruise speed. The PC-12 is more fuel-efficient with a single engine. The choice depends on mission requirements: twin-engine operations favor the King Air; single-engine economy favors the PC-12.
Mission Profile
The King Air handles regional routes between 100 and 1,500 nautical miles at 280 to 340 knots. Chicago to Detroit in 55 minutes. Dallas to Oklahoma City in 40 minutes. Atlanta to Nashville in 45 minutes. The aircraft operates from runways as short as 3,000 feet, opening hundreds of community airports that jets cannot access.
When to Choose Something Else
Pass on the King Air for international overwater operations. While the King Air B200 and 350 are twin-engine, they cruise at lower altitudes with less range than jets. For Caribbean, oceanic, or remote operations over 500 nm of water, a jet provides better safety margins.
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.
