N42SC

This airframe, registered as N42SC, is a 2007-built Hawker Beechcraft 390 Premier IA, serial number RB-212. The aircraft is owned by KANA HOTELS INC (a corporation based in Knoxville, TN, US) and operates on a United States civil registration. Notable registry details include its US registration and corporate ownership; the listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $1,800,000, reflecting its age, configuration and operator-use profile. The Premier IA configuration and corporate ownership suggest regular business use and maintenance consistent with a corporate flight department rather than an individual owner-operator.

The cabin of this Premier IA is typically outfitted with 6–8 executive seats in a common club-4 forward plus 2 aft seating arrangement, with an aft lavatory included, aligning the interior for corporate transport and short to mid-range executive missions. Avionics fit for the airframe follows the typical Premier I/IA installation, the Collins Pro Line 21, supporting business-jet avionics capability for RNAV/SBAS guidance, FMS-based flight planning and advanced situational awareness. Typical operational profiles for N42SC would include domestic corporate hops within the continental United States and transcontinental legs approaching the aircraft’s maximum practical range of 1,500 nm, with cruise speeds near 426 kts and operations up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect twin Williams FJ44-2A powerplants and the factory Premier IA systems package, with corporate ownership implying scheduled maintenance under a managed program.

The Hawker Beechcraft 390 Premier IA occupies a light jet niche emphasizing a composite fuselage and a pressurized cabin with near-midsize comfort at light-jet operating costs. Competing models in the segment include light-cabin business jets that offer similar single-pilot capability, short-field performance and transcontinental range. Buyer and charter demand for a 2007 Premier IA like N42SC is influenced by its passenger capacity (8 seats), cruise speed (426 kts), and maintenance state; resale considerations include the aircraft’s airframe hours, engine cycles on the Williams FJ44-2A engines, avionics standardization around Collins Pro Line 21, and the listed market value of $1,800,000.
