FAQ
Premier I questions
How much does a Premier I cost?
Listing-based estimates for the 12 Premier Is on Radar run from about $881.4K to $6.2M, with a middle estimate of $2.3M. They are rough estimates from public listings and market reports, not appraisals.
What affects the price of a Premier I?
What moves the price of any one Premier I: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline; a Premier I with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.
What are the Premier I's specs?
As published: up to 7 passengers, a range of 1,315 nm (1,513 statute miles), a high-speed cruise of 451 ktas (519 mph), a ceiling of 41,000 ft, a cabin 5 ft 5 in high, 5 ft 6 in wide and 2 × Williams FJ44-2A engines. A given aircraft varies with its completion, weight and modifications.
How far can a Premier I fly?
The Premier I's published range is 1,315 nautical miles (1,513 statute miles), with 4 passengers (800 lb payload), NBAA IFR reserves with 100 nm alternate (Raytheon 2003 spec). Winds, payload, cruise speed and the reserves a flight carries change what a given trip can do.
Can a Premier I cross the Atlantic?
Not nonstop between New York and London: that is about 2,986 nm, against a published range of 1,315 nm. Aircraft with less range than the crossing make it in legs, with fuel stops in Canada, Greenland and Iceland.

How high can a Premier I fly?
The Premier I is certified to 41,000 feet. Heavy aircraft climb there in steps as they burn fuel.
How many passengers does a Premier I seat?
Up to 7 passengers, the most the type is published for. Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats, so a given Premier I may seat fewer.
