N461SJ

This airframe, registered N461SJ, is a 2001 Beechjet 400A remanufactured as a Nextant 400XTi with serial number RK-327. Originally built by Raytheon Aircraft Company and remanufactured by Nextant Aerospace, the airframe is owned by FLIGHT OPTIONS LLC (a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, US). The aircraft is certificated and configured under its remanufactured status with the notable conversion to modern engines and systems by Nextant Aerospace. Registry details reflect a US registration and operation under a corporate owner specializing in charter and fractional operations.

The cabin on this airframe follows the Nextant offering of typical executive layouts with 6–8 passenger executive layouts offered while being certificated for up to 10 seats, allowing flexible configurations between executive transport and higher density seating for corporate shuttle missions. Avionics are fitted with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern navigation, communications and flight management capabilities suitable for company flight departments. Typical operations for this registration would include mid‑range corporate trips, regional charter missions and shuttle services from its Cleveland, OH base, with the airframe’s re‑engined profile reducing fuel and maintenance penalties compared with older Beechjet originals. Maintenance considerations specific to this remanufactured aircraft center on the Williams FJ44-3AP engine support and the integration of remanufactured systems preserved under Nextant’s certification and overhaul documentation.

The Nextant 400XTi, represented here by this airframe, occupies a light to mid‑light business jet niche by combining the Beechjet 400A airframe with modern Williams FJ44 powerplants and updated avionics. Its 1,925 nm range and 400 kt cruise speed position it against other turbofan remanufacture and light‑jet offerings where buyers seek improved fuel efficiency and avionics modernization without purchasing new airframes. Demand among fractional operators, charter companies and owner‑operators favors airframes with documented remanufacture provenance and certified upgrades, while resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program coverage, airframe corrosion history and the completeness of Nextant’s remanufacture records.
