N400AX

This entry covers airframe N400AX, a Beechjet built in 1997 bearing serial number RK-171. The airframe has been held in corporate hands as owned by N400AX LEASING LLC, a Wichita, Kansas–based corporation, and is registered in the US. Public registry actions for this specific tail are Not published. Valuation notes place the airframe at approximately $1,150,000, reflecting its age, configuration and market position.

The aircraft is configured in a typical executive interior for the type with a 6–8-place center-club layout and an aft lavatory; final seating counts and outfitting may vary by completion but the type commonly seats 10 including cockpit. Avionics fit for this individual airframe is Not published, so operational equipment status and specific panel fitment are unspecified in the available data. Based out of Wichita, KS by virtue of its registered owner location, the airframe is well suited to short- to medium-range executive missions and charter hops consistent with a 1,519 nm ferry range and high-speed cruise of 449 kts. Maintenance and inspection follow Beechjet 400A type practices, centered on the twin JT15D-5 engine maintenance cycles and aging-airframe considerations.

The airframe is a member of the Beechjet 400A (Beechcraft 400A / Hawker 400A) family, a light to mid-size business jet niche valued for relatively high cruise speeds (here 449 kts) and a service ceiling to 45,000 ft. Competitors in its class historically include early-model Cessna Citation variants and the Learjet 31/35 families; buyer and charter demand tends to favor airframes with updated avionics and low-time engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific unit are influenced by its 1997 build year, configuration flexibility, and the economics implied by a market value of $1,150,000.
