The cabin of this Beech 390 Premier IA reflects the typical six-passenger executive layout, while the type certification allows for up to eight seats in alternate configurations. Operationally the airframe is suited to short- to medium-range corporate missions; with a cruise speed of 426 knots and a maximum range of 1,072 nautical miles it is commonly employed on point-to-point executive hops and regional charters consistent with its manufacturer's intended use. Based in Wilmington, DE, the owner-operator structure under RB171 LLC implies private corporate operation rather than airline service. Maintenance considerations typical for this installation include support for the Williams FJ44-2A turbofans and airframe systems common to the Premier IA family; specific avionics fit and unique cabin amenities for this individual aircraft are not published.

The Beech 390 Premier IA sits in the light business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a 41,000 ft ceiling that competes effectively with contemporaries in the light jet category. Typical competitors include other light-cabin jets offering similar mission profiles and operating economics. Demand among owner-operators and charter providers is driven by the type’s combination of speed, range, and compact cabin; resale and maintenance considerations commonly focus on engine shop visits for the Williams FJ44-2A series and the availability of aftermarket refurbishments for executive interiors.
