N40RQ

The airframe bearing tail number N40RQ is a 2010-built Hawker 4000, serial RC-0040, manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Bank of Utah Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, reflecting an institutional ownership profile rather than private individual possession. The registration is US and the airframe carries a market valuation of $4,000,000, indicating its financial status in inventory or trustee holdings. No public record of prior operators or notable registry actions is cited beyond the trustee ownership and the original construction data.

This particular Hawker 4000 is outfitted in a nine-place executive cabin configured with a forward four-place club, a mid/aft three-place divan opposing a two-place club, a forward galley and an aft lavatory, providing a traditional long-range light-medium business jet interior. Avionics are installed as a Honeywell Primus Epic suite, supporting integrated flight management, displays and typical business-jet mission avionics capability. Typical missions for this airframe would include transcontinental and offshore trips within its 3,341 nm range and high-speed cruise at around 470 kts, typically operated from the trustee’s contracted flight department or charter operator based near Salt Lake City, UT. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific aircraft reflect the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308A engine type and the support network for Hawker Beechcraft aircraft, with financial stewardship under a corporate trustee potentially influencing maintenance cadence and disposition planning.

The Hawker 4000 occupies the high-performance midsize/business jet niche, offering long-range capability and high cruise speeds compared with light jets while remaining below large-cabin long-range types. Competing models in its class include later-generation midsize and super-midsize types that emphasize composite construction and advanced avionics; the Hawker 4000’s strengths are its speed, altitude capability to 45,000 ft, and a comfortable nine-place executive cabin. Buyer and charter demand for this model tends to focus on operators seeking a fast, high-altitude platform; resale and maintenance considerations center on airframe age (2010 build), engine support for the PW308A, and the aircraft’s maintenance history and records, which influence the trustee’s valuation at $4,000,000.
