N317CQ

This entry covers the specific Raytheon Hawker 800XP airframe bearing tail number N317CQ, built in 2001 with manufacturer's serial 258532. The aircraft was produced by Raytheon Aircraft Company and is recorded as being owned by PRIVATE FLIERS LLC (corporation based in Wheaton, IL, US), with U.S. registration US. The airframe’s recorded market valuation is $2,500,000, and its configuration is that of a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet operated from the owner's base in Wheaton, Illinois. Registered to PRIVATE FLIERS LLC, this airframe’s public registry entries reflect corporate ownership rather than individual or commercial fractional operation.

The individual cabin layout for N317CQ is configured for 8 passengers, consistent with typical Hawker 800XP interiors that prioritize executive seating and short- to mid-range transcontinental missions. Avionics fit for this specific airframe is not published in the provided data; operational performance derives from the twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR powerplants that support a cruise speed of 402 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, enabling efficient high-altitude routing and favorable fuel-burn profiles for regional and continental flights. Based at Wheaton, Illinois under PRIVATE FLIERS LLC, the aircraft is well suited to point-to-point corporate missions and ad hoc charter-like uses under corporate operation. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the Hawker 800XP program norms, with attention to engine shop visits and aging airframe inspections relevant to a 2001-build aircraft.

The Raytheon Hawker 800XP occupies a mid-size business jet niche, offering transcontinental range of 2,470 nm and cruise speeds around 402 kts, competing with aircraft such as contemporaneous Challenger variants and mid-size Gulfstreams. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N317CQ typically focuses on corporations seeking balanced speed, cabin size for 8 seats, and runway performance, while resale and valuation—here listed at $2,500,000—reflects airframe age, maintenance history, and engine status for twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR installations. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2001 Hawker 800XP include adherence to component life limits and avionics upgrade paths to preserve operational relevance in a competitive used business-jet market.
