N877AS Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Bombardier Challenger 850 delivers 459 knots at cruise altitude with 2,600 nautical miles of range. N877AS's 2x GE CF34-3B1 produce 9,220 lbs per side, supporting an operating ceiling of 41,000 feet. That altitude keeps the aircraft above most turbulence and commercial traffic.
Mission Profile
N877AS's Bombardier Challenger 850 cabin accommodates 15 passengers across 48.4 ft of usable length. At 8.2 ft wide and 6.1 ft tall, the cross-section allows comfortable club seating, a conference group, and a divan for longer flights.
Charter Authorization
N877AS operates under a Part 135 certificate for on-demand charter. The Bombardier Challenger 850's coast-to-coast range and 15-passenger cabin make it a strong fit for corporate group travel. Contact us for availability.
Insider Note
Heavy jets represent the most active segment in the pre-owned market. Well-maintained Bombardier Challenger 850 airframes with low hours and current inspections trade quickly. N877AS's 2002 build year and continuous airworthiness record are the data points buyers evaluate first.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N877AS is a 2002 aircraft under . This briefing covers the charter and acquisition context for this airframe in today's market.
Fleet Position
FAA data shows N877AS based in 15 passengers, . This aircraft is part of the diverse U.S. business aviation fleet that spans from vintage Gulfstreams and Sabreliners to modern large-cabin jets and regional turboprops. The depth of the U.S. aviation maintenance infrastructure ensures parts and service support for virtually every type.
Charter Availability
N877AS is Part 135 charter authorized. Charter rates vary widely by aircraft type, from $2,000 per hour for light aircraft to $15,000+ per hour for large-cabin jets. Contact The Jet Finder for current availability and pricing on this specific aircraft.
Market Position
N877AS is a 2002 aircraft from the legacy production era. Pre-owned values range from $2M to $10M. Aircraft from this period benefit from proven service records, established parts supply chains, and deep pools of qualified maintenance technicians.
Legacy-era business aircraft offer strong value for operators whose mission requirements match the aircraft's capabilities. Acquisition costs are significantly below current-production equivalents, and operating costs are well-documented after decades of fleet experience.
Mission Profile
Business aircraft serve missions from 200 to 7,700 nautical miles depending on type. The right aircraft matches the mission: short regional routes favor light jets and turboprops; coast-to-coast routes favor super-mids; intercontinental routes require large-cabin jets. Matching aircraft to mission is the most important decision in business aviation.
When to Choose Something Else
Consider upgrading aircraft categories when your mission consistently exceeds your current aircraft's capability. Flying a light jet on routes that require a midsize creates inefficiency. Flying a large jet on routes that a midsize handles wastes capital.
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.
