About the BAe Jetstream super 31

Type certificated 1988 Source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet

Overview

The BAe Jetstream Super 31 (Model 3201, also marketed as the Jetstream 32) is the uprated production variant of the Jetstream 31, powered by Garrett TPE331-12 turboprops of 1,020 shp in place of the base aircraft’s TPE331-10. It descends from the Handley Page HP.137 Jetstream of 1967; the design passed to Scottish Aviation and then British Aerospace, which launched the modernised Jetstream 31 in 1980 and this Super 31 in 1988. The extra power buys better climb, certified weights, and hot-and-high margin rather than a higher top speed.

In practical buyer terms, this is a corporate shuttle or high-density people-mover in a class where a stand-up cabin is rare. Almost every airframe began life in regional-airline service, so it carries commuter-category maintenance history and the operating economics of a turbine twin. Cruise sits near 264 knots, ceiling at 25,000 feet.

Key Features for GA Buyers

  • Stand-up cabin: the fat-fuselage cross-section gives a 5 ft 11 in cabin height unusual in the 19-seat class, more comfortable than a King Air or a Metro.
  • Uprated performance: the 1,020 shp TPE331-12 engines improve climb, payload, and hot-and-high margin over the base Jetstream 31.
  • Payload: even in an executive fit-out the Super 31 holds a high useful load for a full team and baggage over medium legs.
  • Full airliner systems: pressurisation, air conditioning, and robust ice protection support reliable all-weather operations.

Trade-offs

  • The wing-spar step: the low wing’s carry-through spar crosses the cabin floor at mid-cabin, so passengers step over it moving down the aisle.
  • Turbine-twin economics: commuter-category maintenance, Garrett hot-section inspections at 1,800 hours, and six-figure per-engine overhauls define the operating case.
  • Garrett start discipline: the single-shaft TPE331 rewards precise, temperature-aware starts; mismanagement risks an expensive hot start.
