N311JV

This article covers the specific airframe registered as N311JV, a Beechcraft 400A built in 2000 with serial number RK-281. The airframe is owned by ACME LEASING LLC, a corporation based in Nashville, TN, US, and is registered in the US; this ownership represents the known documented title and operational control. The airframe's stated market valuation is $1,600,000, and registry entries indicate continued certification consistent with active leasing operations from its Nashville base. Maintenance and valuation notes reflect a late-model Beechjet 400A with typical service life and residual value for turbofan light business jets of its vintage.

The cabin of this Beechcraft 400A (Beechjet 400A / Hawker 400A) airframe is configured for 10 seats, supporting short- to mid-range executive transport and charter missions typical for corporate leasing fleets. Avionics fit for this specific airframe are not detailed in the provided data, but its performance numbers—cruise of 443 kts and ceiling to 45,000 ft—support high-speed regional routing and efficient point-to-point charters out of the owner’s Nashville, TN operating base. Typical missions likely include VIP/corporate passenger shuttle, owner-charter cycles, and lease-to-operator activity requiring regular line and base maintenance schedules aligned with Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5 propulsion. Known maintenance considerations center on aging airframe systems consistent with a 2000 build-year airframe in active lease service.

The Beechcraft 400A (Beechjet 400A / Hawker 400A) family occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, prized for relatively high cruise speeds and practical eight- to ten-seat cabins. Competing models include light jets from Cessna and Learjet lines that offer similar range and speed; the JT15D-5 engines provide established support but can influence operating costs compared with newer turbofan designs. For buyers and lessors, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on cumulative hours, avionics upgrades, and adherence to service programs—factors reflected in the airframe’s current valuation of $1,600,000.
