N295JM

This entry covers airframe N295JM, a 2005 Raytheon Hawker 850XP with manufacturer serial number 258754 built by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The airframe is owned by WHISKEY KILO HAWKER LLC (an LLC based in Charleston, SC, US), which is the listed operator/home base for the aircraft in U.S. registry records. The airplane carries U.S. registration status and is certified for seating up to 15 by registry, although it is commonly outfitted in an executive configuration; its estimated market valuation is $3,000,000 reflecting aircraft age, equipment fit and typical market depreciation for the model.

The specific cabin of N295JM is fitted in a common 8‑passenger executive layout: a forward double‑club, mid‑cabin divan opposite a single seat, a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the aircraft remains certified to carry up to 15 passengers by registry. Avionics are consistent with 850XP ProLine upgrade norms, typically equipped with Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suites for integrated navigation, communications and flight management. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium‑range business transcontinental flights within the continental United States and island/hub hops from its Charleston, SC base, taking advantage of the model’s cruise speed and range. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft reflect standard TFE‑731 engine support programs and Pro Line 21 avionics upkeep, as well as scheduled inspections tied to its 2005 build year and utilization.

The Raytheon Hawker 850XP occupies a mid‑sized business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with higher cruise speed and cabin comfort than light jets while costing less to acquire and operate than larger heavy jets. Competing models in its class include later‑generation light midsize jets and used midsize airframes from competing manufacturers; resale value and buyer demand for a 2005 airframe such as N295JM are influenced by engine condition, Pro Line 21 avionics fit, interior refurbishment status and total time/cycles. Owners and operators typically weigh the aircraft’s 2,642 nm range and 430 kt cruise against maintenance program commitments and the market value around $3,000,000 when assessing retention versus trade.
