N100FN

This entry describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N100FN, a Raytheon Beechjet 400A (Hawker 400XP) built in 2008 with serial RK-566. The airframe is recorded on the U.S. registry and is owned by MEANDER AIR II LLC, a corporation based in Moon Township, PA, US, which serves as its operator/home base. No additional previous ownership or registration events are published in the supplied data; the aircraft carries a reported market valuation of $1,900,000, indicative of its late-production vintage and on-condition value among light business jets. The airframe’s documented configuration and certification status reflect typical corporate executive use rather than special mission modification.

The cabin is described as a typical executive layout accommodating 7–8 passengers in club seating with a forward refreshment/galley and an aft enclosed belted lavatory, although operator fit varies and MEANDER AIR II LLC may specify minor interior differences. With a cruise speed of 450 kts and a maximum certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, this airframe is suited to point-to-point corporate missions across continental ranges up to roughly 1,519 nm, commonly used for business city-pair operations. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5R engines provide hot-and-high performance and short-field capability relative to peers, while maintenance considerations follow Hawker Beechcraft support channels and typical calendar/flight-hour component cycles for late-2000s production jets. Based at Moon Township, PA, typical routings would include northeastern U.S. and transcontinental trips within the stated range.

The airframe is a variant of the Raytheon Beechjet 400A marketed in later years as the Hawker 400XP, positioning it in the light business jet category with performance oriented toward speed and short-field access. Its powerplant choice and cruise performance place it in competition with other light jets of the era, with buyer and charter demand driven by price, operating costs, and interior configuration; the reported $1,900,000 value reflects market supply for 2008-series examples. Maintenance and resale considerations emphasize inspection status, engine time on wing for the JT15D-5R pair, and the desirability of the executive cabin fit; prospective buyers typically evaluate logbook completeness and the specific operator-configured interior when assessing residual value.
