Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N287LS, a corporate-configured light jet completed in 2005 with manufacturer serial RK-425. The airframe is a Hawker 400A (Beechjet 400A / Hawker 400XP) type built under the lineage of originally Mitsubishi / Raytheon / Beechcraft and produced under Hawker Beechcraft. Ownership is recorded to the corporate operator Beech Transportation Inc of Eden Prairie, MN, US, which functions as operator and home base for US registry US. Notable registry actions and recent valuation or condition disclosures are not published for this specific airframe.
The cabin of N287LS is fitted in a typical seven-place executive club layout with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory, reflecting common corporate interior choices for the model. Its avionics fit aligns with the usual installation for the series, a Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting IFR corporate missions and single-pilot capable operation in many configurations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short-to-medium range business trips and on-demand charter hops within continental ranges enabled by the 1,693 nm endurance and high cruise speed, operating primarily from the owner’s base in Eden Prairie, MN, US. Maintenance considerations follow the Hawker 400A line items, with engine support for Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 turbofans and standard inspections for a 2005-built light business jet.
The Hawker 400A (Beechjet 400A / Hawker 400XP) occupies the light-cabin, high-speed niche popular for owner/operators and small corporate flight departments, offering transcontinental range in a compact airframe. Competing models in its era and mission set include other light jets with similar single-pilot capability and cruise performance; buyers often prioritize dispatch reliability, avionics upgrades such as Pro Line series retrofits, and lifecycle engine shop visits for JT15D-5s. Resale and maintenance considerations for airframes like N287LS typically revolve around avionics modernization, interior condition, and engine/airframe service history for a 2005-production example.
