N453JE

This article covers the specific airframe registered as N453JE, a Hawker Beechcraft 4000 built in 2010 with manufacturer serial number RC-53. The aircraft is owned by HAWKER ACQUISITION LLC, a corporation based in New York, NY, US, which is the registered operator listed on U.S. documentation; this ownership represents the primary recorded corporate custodian for the airframe. The type is U.S.-registered and FAA records note a 12-passenger executive cabin configuration as part of its registration data. Valuation and condition summaries indicate an assessed market value of $4,000,000, reflecting the airframe’s age, configuration, and typical market factors for this model.

The subject airframe is configured with a 12-passenger executive layout as recorded in the FAA registration, indicating a single-class executive interior tailored for business transport. Avionics fit for the type is the Honeywell Primus Epic suite (typical for the type), which supports integrated flight management, advanced situational awareness and modern cockpit communication/automation capabilities. Typical missions for this airframe profile include transcontinental and international business charters within its 3,280 nm range at a high-speed cruise of 470 kts, operating from the Northeastern U.S. base associated with its corporate owner. Maintenance considerations align with corporate operator practices for mid-size business jets and the support network for the PW306A engine series and Hawker Beechcraft airframe, with heavy checks and avionics periodicity driven by utilization.

The Hawker Beechcraft 4000 occupies the mid-size business jet niche offering transcontinental capability, high cruise speed and a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft, suitable for fast business travel and charter work. Competing models in its class offer similar range and cabin capacities; buyer and charter demand depends on cabin configuration, avionics updates and engine program status. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on completion status, engine program enrollment for PW306A powerplants and the airframe’s executive interior, all of which factor into the reported $4,000,000 valuation.
