N311SQ

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N311SQ, a 2001-built Raytheon 390 Premier I with serial RB-5. The aircraft is owned by SQRL AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Little Rock, AR, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s documented valuation is $1,700,000, reflecting its status as an early-production Premier I with the typical service and market considerations of a 2001 business jet.

The cabin of N311SQ follows the standard Premier I arrangement, with a typical six-passenger executive layout featuring forward cabin seating and an enclosed aft lavatory. Operated from Little Rock, AR, the airframe’s performance—cruise speed of 450 kts and a ferry/mission range of 1,360 nm—suits short to mid-range corporate and executive missions such as regional business hops or on-demand charter sectors within the continental United States. The twin Williams FJ44-2A engines provide the thrust rating of 2,300 lbf each, supporting climb and cruise performance to the certified service ceiling of 41,000 ft. As a 2001 model, ongoing maintenance and component-life tracking are relevant to operational availability and valuation metrics.

The airframe belongs to the Raytheon/Beechcraft Premier 1 family (marketed as the Raytheon 390 Premier I), a light business jet niche emphasizing higher cruise speed and composite fuselage elements relative to some competitors. With a cruise near 450 kts and a six-seat executive cabin, this class competes with other light jets for owner-operators and charter operators seeking fast regional capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for N311SQ reflect its 2001 manufacture year, the installed Williams FJ44-2A powerplants, and an estimated value of $1,700,000, factors commonly reviewed by buyers and operators evaluating lifecycle costs and market demand.
