N440RC

This entry documents airframe N440RC, a factory-built Beechjet 400A completed in 2000 with serial number RK-269. The airframe is recorded as owned by owned by SKY AVIATION HOLDINGS LLC, a corporation based in Pompano Beach, FL, US, and is registered for U.S. operations. The fleet status reflects an airframe fitted with upgraded avionics and a standard corporate interior, and public valuation records list an approximate market value of $1,200,000. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond current corporate ownership and U.S. registration.

The cabin of N440RC is fitted in a corporate executive layout: a center four-place club, two forward-facing aft seats, an additional forward-facing belted seat beside the forward galley, and an aft belted lavatory, supporting up to 10 occupants in mixed seating. Avionics are listed as an upgrade to Garmin G5000, positioning the cockpit for modern glass-panel operations, situational awareness, and flight-deck commonality with other upgraded light jets. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short to medium-range corporate charters and owner-operated regional hops from its base in Pompano Beach, FL, US, exploiting the airframe’s fast cruise and transcontinental step capability. Maintenance considerations reflect twin JT15D-5 turbine operations and systems associated with the Beechjet 400A series, including support for avionics retrofits and interior refurbishment cycles commensurate with a 2000 build.

The Beechjet 400A occupies the light corporate jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and 1,500+ nm range suitable for regional and some transcontinental missions. Competing models typically include light jets from Cessna and Embraer of similar vintage; the Beechjet 400A is sought for its speed and cabin flexibility but faces age-related maintenance and avionics-upgrade considerations in resale. Given the listed $1,200,000 valuation and the Garmin G5000 upgrade, this specific airframe targets buyers or charter operators seeking performance at a lower acquisition cost while accepting ongoing airframe and engine maintenance programs typical for early-2000s light jets.
