Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N442GJ, a Beechjet 400A (Hawker 400) with manufacturer serial RK-442. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by FIRM FOUNDATION AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Brea, CA, US. Registry and valuation records for this specific airframe list a market value of $1,600,000, and available data emphasize its role as an executive transport under corporate operation. No additional prior ownership history or notable registry actions are published in the provided dataset.
The aircraft is configured in an executive cabin layout suitable for 7–10 passengers, typically arranged in a center-club or forward-club with a belted aft lav seat, matching common Beechjet 400A executive interiors. Avionics for typical 400A installations are listed as Collins Pro Line 4, supporting the navigation, communication, and flight management requirements for corporate point-to-point missions. As operated from its corporate base in Brea, CA, US, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short-to-medium range business trips within its 1,547 nm capability at cruise speeds near 410 kts, optimized for rapid regional connectivity. Maintenance considerations follow the twin JT15D-5 turbofan architecture and Pro Line 4 avionics supportability common to the model series.
The Beechjet 400A (Hawker 400) occupies a light-cabin, high-speed business jet niche, combining transcontinental short-haul range with high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models typically include other light to midsize corporate jets offering similar speed-range tradeoffs; buyers and charter operators value the 400A for its cabin flexibility and performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the installed JT15D-5 engines and Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite, which influence operating costs and market desirability relative to newer-generation light jets.
