Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N400DX, is a 2000-build Beechjet 400A (Raytheon / Hawker Beechcraft 400A), serial number RK-287. It is recorded as owned by N400DX LEASING LLC, an LLC based in Wichita, KS, US, and carries a US registration. The airframe valuation is listed at $1,126,869, reflecting its status as an older, purpose-built light business jet configured for executive transport. Ownership is held by a Wichita-based leasing company, indicating use within lease/charter or corporate fleet operations rather than direct private ownership.
The cabin of this specific 400A is noted as a typical seven-place executive layout, featuring a refreshment center and an enclosed lavatory consistent with executive seating configurations. Avionics commonly fitted on the 400A family and noted for typical listings include Collins elements such as dual transponders TDR‑94D, Collins WXR‑850 weather radar, and Collins SDU‑640A, with EGPWS also noted on typical 400A equipment lists; these items describe the expected avionics baseline rather than a bespoke fit for this serial. Operationally, the airframe’s performance figures—cruise speed and range—suit short to mid-range executive missions and charter work originating from its owner’s Wichita location. Maintenance and mission planning for this airframe would be influenced by its twin JT15D-5 engines and the systems common to Raytheon-built 400A examples.
The Beechjet 400A occupies the light business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability on shorter sectors with seven-passenger executive comfort as reflected by this airframe. Competing models in its class typically emphasize similar cruise speeds and seating counts; buyer and charter demand for a 2000-build 400A is often tied to condition, avionics fit, and engine time. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will focus on lifecycle status of the JT15D-5 engines, avionics modernization potential, and the aircraft’s valuation relative to market peers given its age and leasing-oriented ownership.
