N308KP

The airframe bearing registration N308KP is a 2006 Raytheon Hawker 400XP (Beechjet 400A), serial number RK-474, and is currently recorded as owned by K&P AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Saint Petersburg, FL, US. The aircraft’s U.S. registration and corporate ownership indicate a civil business aviation role; no other registry actions or transfers are published in the supplied data. Valued at $1,950,000, this individual 400XP example represents a later-production airframe of the type with typical performance and configuration for light-to-midsize executive transport.

N308KP is configured in a typical executive interior offering a 7–8 place club layout with the optional belted aft lavatory seat, providing flexibility between passenger capacity and lavatory use. The type commonly carries a Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite; the specific fitment for N308KP is not published, so operational systems should be confirmed via maintenance records before flight. Typical missions for this airframe include short-to-medium range business trips and charter operations operating from its base in Saint Petersburg, FL, but the supplied data does not list an operator separate from the registered owner. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe reflect standard jet-age systems and the twin JT15D-5R engines, with lifecycle and component status determining dispatch reliability and resale value.

The Raytheon Hawker 400XP sits in the light business jet niche, offering high cruise speed around 450 kts and a useful range near 1,519 nm, competing with light jets such as the Cessna Citation series and Learjet 31/45 family. Demand among owner-operators and charter companies is driven by mission flexibility, cabin ergonomics, and operating economics; resale value for a 2006 airframe like RK-474 is influenced by avionics fit, engine cycles, and maintenance history. Buyers consider the commonality of parts, availability of upgrades (including avionics), and the documented value when assessing acquisition or refurbishment programs.
