N448SC

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N448SC, a 2005 build of the Hawker line, serial RK-448, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The aircraft is U.S.-registered and owned by HAWK EAGLE LLC, an LLC based in Moon Township, PA, US, which operates the airplane from that home base for corporate transport and on-demand missions. The cabin received a notable interior work package — refurbished Dec 2022 — and the airframe carries standard U.S. registry markings with the manufacturer and serial recorded in civil records. The aircraft’s overall condition reflects an updated executive interior and modern avionics fit consistent with mid‑2000s Hawker 400XP examples.

The subject airplane is equipped with a seven‑place executive club cabin featuring a mix of forward‑facing and rear‑facing seats, plus a belted lavatory provision configured to accommodate an eighth passenger; this interior was refurbished Dec 2022 to refresh the executive layout. Avionics are a Collins Pro Line 4 suite (listed as Collins Proline 4 with dual FMC-5000, Collins TDR-94D Mode S transponders, TCAS II, Honeywell Mark V EGPWS), supporting mixed commercial and corporate operating profiles and enabling efficient RNAV and FMC-guided routing. Typical missions for this airframe include short‑to‑medium haul business trips within the continental U.S. and nearby international points, leveraging the aircraft’s 1,565 nm range and high cruise speed to minimize stage lengths. Based in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, the owner/operator conducts operations consistent with fixed-wing multi-engine corporate use, and the modernized interior reduces near-term cabin refurbishment requirements.

The airframe is a Hawker 400XP (Beechjet 400A) variant, a light business jet family known for runway performance and higher cruise speed relative to many light jets, occupying a niche between entry light jets and midsize cabin offerings. Competitors in the class include contemporary light business jets offering similar mission capability; buyer and charter demand typically favor examples with updated avionics and refreshed interiors, both of which this aircraft presents. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2005 airframe center on engine life cycles for the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 powerplants, avionics support for the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, and the airframe’s documented refurb and U.S. registration status.
