N888QS Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Daher TBM 700 delivers 282-knot performance across 1,370 NM. N888QS is powered by 1x Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-64 at 700 SHP. An operating ceiling of 31,000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather while maintaining fuel efficiency.
Mission Profile
For regional missions with moderate passenger loads, the Daher TBM 700 provides the best economics. N888QS seats 6 in a 13.0 ft cabin that handles the distances and airports that define turboprop operations.
Charter Authorization
This Daher TBM 700 is authorized for charter under N888QS's Part 135 certificate. Turboprops deliver the private aviation experience at the lowest hourly cost. Contact us for a quote.
Insider Note
Turboprops remain the first choice for operations requiring unpaved runway access, cold-weather starts, and short-field performance. N888QS's Daher TBM 700 airframe is built for exactly these conditions.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N888QS is a 2025 Longitude held by ALLEN GOVERNMENTAL CONSULTING LLC. Textron introduced the Longitude in 2019 as the flagship of the Citation family. This briefing covers charter and acquisition positioning.
Fleet Position
The Longitude fleet is growing rapidly, with approximately 200 delivered since 2019. FAA data shows N888QS based in OKLAHOMA CITY, OK. The Longitude competes directly with the Challenger 350 and Praetor 600 for the super-midsize market. Cessna's service network advantage is significant: more authorized service centers than any competing OEM.
Charter Availability
N888QS is Part 135 charter authorized. Longitude charter rates range from $5,000 to $6,500 per flight hour. The Longitude offers the quietest cabin in the super-mid category, which is a measurable differentiator on flights over 3 hours. Passengers who have flown both the Longitude and Challenger 350 consistently cite the noise difference.
Market Position
N888QS is a current-production 2025 Longitude at $28M to $33M (new). Textron continues to refine the platform with each delivery, and production rates are increasing. Delivery positions are 12 to 15 months.
At new pricing, the Longitude undercuts the Challenger 3500 ($28M) by $5M while offering lower projected operating costs. The 3500 counters with Mach 0.83 cruise and Bombardier's smooth ride system. For buyers who prioritize cabin comfort and total cost of ownership, the Longitude wins on data. For buyers who prioritize speed and brand, the Challenger wins on perception.
Mission Profile
The Longitude handles coast-to-coast nonstop with 3,500 nm range. Teterboro to Van Nuys in 4 hours 50 minutes. Miami to Seattle in 5 hours 15 minutes. The standup cabin seats 8 to 12 with a full galley, enclosed lavatory, and the lowest cabin noise in the super-mid category at 4,600 EPNdB.
When to Choose Something Else
Pass on the Longitude if the installed fleet size matters to your operation. With roughly 200 delivered versus 800+ Challenger 300/350/3500s, the Longitude has a smaller crew pool, fewer repositioning options, and thinner parts inventory at some maintenance facilities.
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.
