N100UJ1999 Dornier 328JET

Overview

This entry covers airframe N100UJ, a production example of the Fairchild Dornier 328JET (328-300) built in 1999 with serial number 3118. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by Sistares Property LLC, an LLC based in Statesville, North Carolina, which appears as the current operator/registrant in available records. Notable registry data for this specific airframe include its executive conversion and documented capability to be reconfigured for higher-density commuter seating.

Operations & Cabin

This aircraft is fitted internally in a 16-seat executive layout that is convertible to 30+/32 commuter seating, providing operational flexibility between corporate transport and higher-density commercial missions. The avionics fit is the typical 328JET configuration with Honeywell Primus 2000 / Honeywell IFCS and RNZ-851 navigation equipment, supporting standard regional and executive IFR operations. With a cruise of 405 kts and a range near 1,200 nm, typical mission profiles for this airframe include short to mid-range business trips, charter hops, and regional shuttle services operated from its Statesville, NC base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its build year 1999, its twin PW306B engines, and the need to support legacy Honeywell avionics and airframe systems in line with owner/operator practices.

Model & Market Context

The Fairchild Dornier 328JET (328-300) represented a niche between turboprops and larger regional jets, with this example offering commuter capacity when reconfigured or a compact executive cabin as fitted. Performance data here, 405 kts cruise, 35,000 ft ceiling, and 1,200 nm range, position the type for short to medium regional missions where speed and cabin comfort are prioritized.
