Model & Market Context
This airframe bears tail N116AD and is a 2002 airframe of the Beechjet family, specifically the Beechjet 400A, built by Raytheon Aircraft Company with serial number RK-338. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by STONE HOLDINGS LLC, an LLC based in Towson, MD, US; the FAA record for this registration lists a seating configuration of 10 seats. Registered to STONE HOLDINGS LLC in Towson, MD, the airframe's most readily cited registry action is the listing of its seating capacity on the FAA record. Valuation records indicate an estimated market value of $1,600,000, reflecting its 2002 build year and installed equipment.
The airframe is configured with a typical executive cabin layout where a 7–9 passenger arrangement is common, though the FAA record for this specific registration lists 10 seats. The Beechjet 400A airframe is normally used for short- to mid-range executive transport and point-to-point charter missions consistent with its 1,693 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 443 kts, enabling rapid regional and transcontinental hops for business users. Based in Towson, MD by owner location, typical operations would include business shuttles and owner-operated corporate travel; no specific unique amenities or aftermarket modifications are published for this serial. Maintenance considerations are driven by the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 turbine engines and standard airframe service cycles for early-2000s light business jets.
The Beechjet 400A occupies the light executive jet niche with performance characteristics favoring speed and a high ceiling of 45,000 ft, competing with models such as the Cessna Citation series and Learjet variants. Buyers and charter operators seek this type for its combination of cruise speed (443 kts) and respectable range (1,693 nm), though 2002-aged examples factor maintenance, avionics upgrade needs, and resale considerations into valuation—here reflected by the $1,600,000 estimate. Engine type and supportability of the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 units remain key factors in ongoing operating cost and market desirability.
