The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 1 active British Aerospace Jetstream 31 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Honeywell TPE331-10UGR, each producing 1,020 SHP each of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 264 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 240 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 25,000 feet puts the British Aerospace Jetstream 31 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 3,700 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 765 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the British Aerospace Jetstream 31 handles short-haul regional flights connecting major metropolitan areas within a few hundred miles. Typical hourly operating costs range from $1,200-$1,800 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The British Aerospace Jetstream 31 cabin measures 28.0 ft long, 5.9 ft wide, and 5.8 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 19 passengers, with 80 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Rockwell Collins avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
