The Beechjet 400A airframe configured as N400AL typically supports a ten-seat executive cabin layout, consistent with the type’s interior arrangements for business and charter missions. Avionics fit for this specific airframe is not published in the provided data, but its performance—particularly a high cruise speed and 45,000 ft ceiling—positions it for short- to medium-range point-to-point corporate operations and ad hoc charter work. Based out of Wichita, Kansas by ownership, its typical missions would include regional hops across the continental United States within the aircraft’s approximately 1,180 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this unit follow the twin JT15D-5 turbofan program and the Beechjet fleet standard practices; specific maintenance status and recent checks are Not published.

The Raytheon Beechjet 400A (Hawker 400A) family occupies the light business jet niche, offering near-jet speeds with a modest cabin and efficient short-field capability. Competing models in its era include other light jets powered by similar small turbofans; demand from buyers and charter operators often centers on low-hour airframes with updated avionics and interiors. For a 1997 serial like RK-172, resale and operational considerations typically focus on engine cycles of the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 units and the cost of avionics modernization to remain competitive in the used market.
