N431JD

This entry documents airframe N431JD, a 2009-built Hawker Beechcraft 900XP with manufacturer serial number HA-0117. The airframe is owned by corporation Blue Pearl Aviation LLC, based in Saint Louis, Missouri, US, and is registered in the US civil register. The airframe carries a market valuation of $4,800,000, reflecting its late-2000s build, twin-engine configuration and executive interior. The airframe’s registration and ownership are notable for its corporate ownership structure and Midwest operator base rather than airline or fractional operation.

The aircraft is fitted in a typical 8‑place executive club/divan layout with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, configured for corporate travel and short-haul executive missions. Avionics are installed as a Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced navigation, communication and flight management functions expected for business jet operations of this class. Operated from a corporate base in Saint Louis, Missouri, the mission profile for this airframe typically includes transcontinental U.S. flights and point-to-point charter between business centers within the aircraft’s 2,733 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow factory-recommended schedules for the 900XP series and the Honeywell TFE731-50R powerplants, with attention to avionics life-limited items and interior condition consistent with its valuation.

The Hawker Beechcraft 900XP sits in the midsize super-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, range and cabin comfort exemplified by this example’s 430 kt cruise and 2,733 nm range. In the used market it competes with late-model light and midsize jets from manufacturers such as Cessna and Bombardier, with buyer and charter demand driven by cabin size, avionics fit and engine program status. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on continued support for the Honeywell TFE731 engine family, Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle, and interior refurbishment status relative to its $4,800,000 valuation.
