N740DC

This airframe, registered as N740DC, is a Fairchild Dornier 328-300 (Do 328JET) built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 3207. The aircraft has been owned by CBG LLC, an Oregon-based limited liability company, and is associated with Wilsonville, Oregon, United States as its listed owner location. The type is a U.S.-registered fixed-wing multi-engine jet and carries U.S. registration status. Publicly supplied data does not record additional operators or earlier ownership transfers for this specific airframe.

The airframe is typically outfitted in a high-density regional layout with a cabin capacity of 30–34 economy seats but can be converted in some configurations to a corporate layout accommodating 12–19 passengers. Avionics aboard aircraft of this type are commonly the Honeywell Primus 2000, which supports regional airline and corporate mission avionics needs; no bespoke modifications are indicated in the supplied data for this serial. Given its performance — including a cruise near 405 knots and a maximum operating ceiling of 35,000 feet — this airframe is suited to short- to medium-range regional missions, frequent point-to-point hops, and conversion for corporate shuttle duties. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would align with standard Dornier 328JET type support and regional-jet cycle maintenance profiles.

The Fairchild Dornier 328-300 (Do 328JET) family occupies a niche as a larger regional jet bridging turboprop and larger regional jet markets, offering roughly 30–34 seats in high-density layouts and transcontinental-capable range for its class. Competing models include other 30–40 seat regional jets and high-capacity turboprops in terms of operating economics and runway performance. Buyer and charter demand for individual airframes often depends on cabin conversion flexibility (regional vs. corporate), avionics fit such as the Honeywell Primus 2000, and the availability of parts and maintenance support for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300-series powerplants. These factors influence resale and long-term maintenance considerations for this serial.
