N470CT

The airframe bearing tail number N470CT is a 2007-built Hawker Beechcraft 400A (Beechjet 400A), serial RK-536, delivered by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation. It is recorded as owned by ZENODRO AT TRANQUILITY AVIATION II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company based in Wilmington, DE, and remains on the US civil registry. The airframe’s documented valuation of $1,600,000 and its continued US registration reflect its status as an in-service light business jet within the secondary market. Maintenance history details are not published here; the airframe is highlighted by its late-2000s build year and standard corporate operator ownership profile.

The cabin in this airframe is configured in the typical executive arrangement, nominally a 6–8 place executive club with flat floor and enclosed aft lavatory, though some examples of the type are fitted to 7–10 seats, matching this airframe’s ten-seat certification. Avionics fit is documented as the Collins Pro Line suite with typical Pro Line 4/21 installations available on the type, supporting standard corporate and charter mission avionics capabilities. Operationally, the jet’s 1,519 nm range and 449-knot cruise speed make it suitable for short- to mid-range regional business routes, point-to-point charters, and frequent hops between major business centers. Based from a US operator base, typical missions emphasize speed and crew comfort while adhering to scheduled maintenance cycles consistent with Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5 engine requirements.

The Hawker Beechcraft 400A occupies the light jet niche with higher cruise speeds and professional cabin appointments relative to many entry-level light jets, competing against models in the same mission profile. Demand among buyers and charter operators often focuses on cabin flexibility (6–10 seats), proven JT15D engine support, and avionics upgrades such as Pro Line suites. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include engine support status, avionics configuration, and airframe hours given its 2007 manufacture, all factors that feed into secondary market valuation and continued operational utility.
