N212XX

This entry documents airframe N212XX, a British Aerospace HS 125-700A built in 1980 with manufacturer serial 257093. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by the corporation K & A ADVISORS LLC, based in Wilmington, DE, US. The aircraft’s registration and corporate ownership reflect a history of US-based corporate operation and marketplace repositioning. Its assessed market value is $675,000, indicative of its age, configuration and continuing utility in corporate and charter roles.

The airframe, configured to accommodate 15 seats, would typically be outfitted for corporate or small-group charter missions consistent with the HS 125-700A’s standard cabin layouts, balancing seating density and comfort for short to medium-length sectors. Typical mission profiles for this installation, given a 2,420 nm range and 424 kt cruise speed, include transcontinental and regional international hops within the Americas. As a corporate-owned asset based under K & A ADVISORS LLC in Wilmington, DE, maintenance planning and operational dispatch are likely conducted to support ad hoc charters and executive transport. The Garrett TFE731 powerplant pair, each rated at 3,500 lbf, drives efficient cruise performance to the aircraft’s service ceiling of 41,000 ft, while maintenance considerations for an airframe built in 1980 generally include age-related structural inspections and specialized support for legacy avionics suites unless upgraded.

The British Aerospace HS 125-700A occupies a market niche for midsize business jets offering moderate range, comfortable cabin capacity and reliable turbofan powerplants. Competing types historically include other midsize jets of the era; buyers and charter operators value the model for its balance of capacity (15 seats) and long-range cruise capability (424 kts, 2,420 nm). Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe hinge on its 1980 manufacture date and cumulative maintenance history, with a reflected market valuation of $675,000 guiding prospective secondary-market transactions.
