N23FT

This airframe, registered as N23FT, is a 2009-built 390 Premier IA with serial number RB-275. It is recorded as owned by PROTECH INDUSTRIES LLC, a corporation based in Great Falls, MT, US, and is maintained on the United States registry as a fixed-wing multi-engine airplane. The airframe has been noted as having undergone a cabin refresh in 2020 and carries an estimated market value of $2,300,000. Operational history in public records is limited to registry and configuration notes, with no additional operators listed beyond the current corporate owner.

The cabin on this airframe is configured in an executive layout with an aft lavatory, supporting typical corporate transport missions and small-group charter operations. A 2020 cabin refresh reported included recovered lower sidewalls, new window panels, and new carpet, indicating attention to interior presentation and short-term passenger comfort. Avionics are reported as a Collins Pro Line 21 suite with modernization elements, including a Collins FMS-3000 and AFD displays, which support contemporary navigation and flight-management needs for regional missions up to the aircraft’s 850 nm range. Based from the owner’s location in Great Falls, MT, the airplane is suitable for point-to-point business travel and short international hops from continental U.S. bases, though specific route logs are not published.

The Hawker Beechcraft 390 Premier IA occupies a light-cabin, high-speed niche, offering turbofan performance with business-class cabin amenities; this example’s twin Williams FJ44-2A engines yield cruise speeds around 370 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models typically include light jets and light-medium class entrants from manufacturers such as Cessna and Embraer, where buyers weigh speed, cabin comfort, and operating cost. The reported Collins avionics modernization and 2020 cabin refresh improve resale appeal, while maintenance and parts considerations for older Premier airframes remain factors influencing market demand and lifecycle valuation.
