N397MG

This entry concerns airframe N397MG, a Beechjet 400A built by Raytheon Aircraft Company in 1999 with serial number RK-259. The aircraft is recorded as owned by AVIATION TRUST COMPANY LLC TRUSTEE of Oklahoma City, OK, US and carries US registration. No other registry actions are detailed; the airframe is valued at $1,600,000, reflecting its late-1990s build and installed avionics and cabin specification.

The cabin of N397MG is fitted in a seven-place executive club layout with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed aft belted lavatory, providing a ten-seat certification that supports corporate or owner-operated missions. Avionics are installed as the Collins ProLine IV (Pro Line 4), giving the flightdeck modern-era integrated navigation, communication and flight management capabilities appropriate to the type’s performance. With a cruise speed of 443 kts and a maximum practical range near 1,693 nm, typical missions for this aircraft include medium-distance corporate hops and on-demand charter sectors out of its recorded base in Oklahoma City, OK, US. Maintenance considerations center on preservation of the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 turbofans and continued updates to the ProLine IV avionics suite to maintain operational capability and resale value.

The Beechjet 400A airframe represented by N397MG occupies the light-to-medium business jet performance niche for late-1990s designs, combining transcontinental-ish range capability with high cruising speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling. Its specification—twin JT15D-5 thrust engines, ProLine IV avionics and a ten-place executive interior—positions it for owner-operators or trust-held corporate fleets prioritizing speed and cabin utility. As a 1999 model with a published value of $1,600,000, market considerations for buyers and operators include continued airframe and engine life-cycle maintenance, avionics serviceability of the ProLine IV, and the impact of age on resale liquidity and valuation.
