Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N400MV is a Beechcraft 400A (Beechjet 400A) completed in 2000 with serial number RK-286. It is recorded as owned by DSI AVIATION INC (a corporation based in Wichita, KS, US), reflecting a corporate operator/home base linkage in the Wichita area. The airframe’s U.S. registration and corporate ownership are the primary registry details documented for this specific aircraft, with the noted factory serial providing traceability to its production batch and year of manufacture. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.
The cabin for this airframe is configured in an executive layout, with operator-specific fittings and a typical seating capacity indicated as 7–10 passengers within the provided executive arrangement; the type certification supports the operator-specific interior installation under the documented configuration. Operated from Wichita, KS, the platform’s declared 1,519 nm range and 443 kt cruise speed define typical mission capability for medium-range executive transport, permitting nonstop city-to-city segments within continental U.S. distances. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines provide the installed thrust rating of 2,900 lbf each, underpinning the aircraft’s climb and cruise performance to its service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe follow from its year of manufacture (2000) and corporate operator environment, as indicated in the registration and ownership data.
This airframe is a member of the Beechcraft 400A family produced by Raytheon Aircraft Company, representing a light business jet platform with the performance figures listed above. The combination of a 10-seat certification envelope, 443 kt cruise, and 45,000 ft ceiling situates the type in a performance niche focused on short-to-medium-range executive transport. Prospective operators and market participants evaluating this specific serial (RK-286) and build year (2000) would base maintenance, operational planning, and resale considerations on the aircraft’s installed propulsion (the JT15D-5 pair), documented range, and corporate ownership history.
