Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N1SH, is a Beechcraft Premier 1 (Premier 1A / Raytheon 390) built in 2004 with serial number RB-117. The airframe is owned by Axis Jet (a corporation) and carries a US registration; operator and home-base details have not been published. Notable recent action includes an interior refurbishment in 2024, which is reflected in the cabin condition and equipment fit. Condition highlights center on that 2024 refurbishment and the aircraft's maintained twin Williams turbofan installation.
The cabin of this specific Premier 1 airframe is laid out in a six-seat executive configuration with dual writing desks, a refreshment cabinet, hang-up baggage provision and a private aft lavatory; the interior was refurbished in 2024, enhancing finish and utility for executive missions. Avionics installed on this airframe include a Collins Pro Line / Collins FMS-3000 suite, Collins AFD-310 EFIS, Honeywell Mark V EGPWS and TCAS-4000, supporting IFR operation and regional point-to-point charters. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft, based on its 1,360 nm range and 450 kts cruise capability, are single-leg regional business flights and short transcontinental hops within the continental United States. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe center on the twin Williams FJ44-2A engines and routine avionics checks for the Collins/Honeywell suite.
The airframe belongs to the Premier 1 family as produced by Hawker Beechcraft (originally Raytheon Aircraft Company), combining light-jet operating economics with a high cruise speed and a 41,000 ft service ceiling. For prospective buyers or charter operators, the aircraft's combination of 450 kts cruise and a 6-passenger executive cabin positions it for short-to-medium regional missions; the 2024 interior refurbishment and the installed avionics package are positive factors for resale and charter appeal. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific serial include lifecycle tracking of the Williams FJ44-2A engines and documentation of the recent interior upgrade.
