N426CA Aircraft Overview
N426CA is a CONSTRUCCIONES AERONAUTICAS SA C-212-CC registered in the United States with serial number on file. Turboprop aircraft combine the reliability of turbine engines with the fuel economy of propeller-driven flight, making them the preferred platform for short-haul operations and unpaved-strip access. The registered owner holds the certificate as a llc entity based in Colorado Springs, CO. The aircraft received its FAA airworthiness certificate on Apr 25, 2007, maintaining continuous certification for 19 years.While slower than jets on longer legs, turboprops are more fuel-efficient on missions under 500 nautical miles. The aircraft operates effectively at altitudes up to 45,000 feet.
Mission Profile
Turboprops serve missions where runway access matters more than speed: rural airstrips, mountain airports, island operations, and routes under 600 miles where the time difference versus a jet is marginal.
Charter Authorization
N426CA operates under a Part 135 certificate held by RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, authorizing on-demand charter operations. Contact us for availability and routing.
Insider Note
Turboprops burn roughly 40% less fuel per hour than comparable light jets. On legs under 400 miles, the total trip time difference is often less than 20 minutes once you factor in taxi, climb, and descent. The cost savings can be substantial over a year of regular flying.
