This entry covers airframe N243PG, a Hawker Beechcraft 4000 built in 2011 bearing serial number RC-65. The aircraft is owned by Ducera Aviation LLC (a corporation based in New York, NY) and is registered in the US. The record for this specific airframe emphasizes its factory completion year, serial traceability and current corporate ownership as the primary operational history details available.

The cabin of N243PG is configured in a typical eight‑passenger executive layout with a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, reflecting its use in business and executive transport missions. Avionics on this airframe consist of the Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting integrated flight management and systems monitoring consistent with modern corporate jet operations. With an extended range of 3,280 nm and a cruise speed near 470 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and long‑range regional missions operated from its owner’s New York, NY base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would center on dual PW308A engine upkeep and avionics lifecycle management for the Primus Epic installation as part of standard operator maintenance programs.
As a member of the Hawker Beechcraft 4000 family produced by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, this airframe sits in the large‑cabin, long‑range business jet niche, emphasizing higher cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. The combination of twin PW308A powerplants and the Primus Epic avionics positions the model to serve demanding corporate and charter operators seeking transcontinental capability with a typical eight‑passenger executive interior. Buyers and charter operators evaluating this type often consider engine maintenance intervals, avionics support, and cabin configuration when assessing resale and operational economics for a 2011 serial like RC-65.
