N400PV

The airframe bearing registration N400PV is a 1999-built Beechjet 400A with manufacturer serial number RK-263, produced by the Raytheon Aircraft Company. It is owned by RK-263 LEASING LLC, an LLC based in Benton, KS, US, and is registered in the US, indicating an operator or lessor presence within the United States. Current ownership by a leasing LLC suggests the airframe has been managed for commercial lease or charter operations rather than retained by a private individual. The aircraft carries an estimated market valuation of $1,600,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical aftermarket values for late-1990s light business jets.

The cabin of this Beechjet 400A is outfitted in an executive layout supporting 7–10 place double-club seating with operator-specific options for a forward galley and aft lavatory, making it suitable for short to medium-range business missions. Typical avionics fits align with Collins Pro Line and Collins EFIS suites, though the specific installation on N400PV may vary and retrofit upgrades are common across the fleet. With a cruise speed of 443 kts and a range near 1,693 nm, the aircraft is commonly employed on point-to-point regional charters, owner/operators’ business shuttles, and leasing rotations out of its US base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include continued life-cycle support for late-model Pratt & Whitney JT15D engines and avionics upgrade paths common to 1990s-era Beechjet airframes.

The Beechjet 400A occupies the light business jet niche where fast cruise, compact cabin and runway performance are balanced against operating costs. Competing types in the same sector historically include small-cabin jets with similar speed and range profiles. Buyer and charter demand for a 1999 Beechjet 400A such as N400PV tends to prioritize functionality, avionics modernization and engine maintenance history; these factors heavily influence resale and lease rates. Given its estimated value of $1,600,000, prospective operators often factor retrofit avionics and interior refurbishments into lifecycle economics for continued commercial use.
