The Cirrus Vision Jet is the only single-engine jet flying Los Angeles charter, and it is the only jet on this site with a whole-airframe parachute built into the design. Five to seven seats at 311 knots.
Cirrus builds the SF50 Vision Jet around a single Williams FJ33 turbofan mounted above the fuselage, with a V-tail and the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System carried over from its piston aircraft. Five to seven seats, 311 knots and 1,275 nautical miles of range. Full specifications for the Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 are published by Cirrus Aircraft.

Why the Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 Fits Los Angeles
It is the slowest jet on this site by a wide margin at 311 knots, which puts it closer to a fast turboprop than to a Citation. On short Los Angeles runs to Las Vegas, NV, Palm Springs or Santa Barbara that costs very little; anything longer and a Phenom 100 will be on the ground first.
The parachute system is the reason clients ask for this aircraft by name, and it is a genuine design feature rather than a marketing line. Single-engine turbine charter carries its own conditions within FAR Part 135, so we confirm the operator holds the right authority for commercial passenger work on type before quoting.
Seven seats is the maximum configuration and it assumes small passengers and little luggage. Five adults with bags out of Van Nuys is the realistic load.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Charter Pricing Reference
Industry hourly rates for the Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 run $2,000 to $3,000 per hour as of 7/2026. Actual quotes vary by operator, routing, positioning, and date.
The Vision Jet quotes at the bottom of the jet categories and overlaps the turboprops, so on a Los Angeles regional leg it is worth pricing against a King Air 90 before assuming the jet is the better buy.
