N328GT

This airframe, registered as N328GT, is a 2001-built Fairchild Dornier 328-300 (328JET-310), serial number 3183, manufactured by Fairchild Dornier. It is currently owned by ADVANCED AIR LLC of Hawthorne, CA, US, which serves as the operator and home base for the aircraft in its US registry. The airframe's US registration and ownership by an LLC indicate commercial or charter use rather than private owner-operator status. Valuation and condition notes reflect an estimated market value of $2,850,000, consistent with older regional jets of this class operating in secondary markets.

The airframe typically carries a commuter cabin layout accommodating 30–34 seats, though common VIP/Envoy conversions have been applied across the model line to reduce capacity to 8–12 executive seats for business or charter missions; this airframe is noted as configured for 34 seats in standard documentation. Avionics onboard can vary by installation, with many 328JETs commonly fitted with Honeywell Primus-series or broader Honeywell suites, and this example follows that prevalent practice. Operationally the aircraft suits short- to medium-range regional and charter hops up to 2,000 nm with a cruise speed near 405 kts, making it suitable for point-to-point commuter runs and corporate shuttle roles operated from its Hawthorne base. Maintenance considerations align with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306B engine support and 328JET airframe sustainment programs typical for the model.

The Fairchild Dornier 328-300 (328JET-310) occupies a niche between turboprops and larger regional jets, offering higher cruise speeds and commuter capacity for up to 34 passengers. Competing types include older regional jets and high-performance turboprops that balance operating cost against speed and comfort. Buyer and charter demand tends toward operators seeking fast regional links or small executive-configured transports; resale considerations factor the aircraft’s 2001 build year, availability of PW306B support, and the installed avionics suite when assessing marketability at an estimated $2,850,000.
