N475TC

The airframe bearing tail number N475TC is a 1997-built Raytheon Aircraft Company 400A, serial RK158, currently recorded as owned by MTJ AVIATION LLC of Mooresville, NC, US. The aircraft was manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company (Beechcraft) and remains registered in the US. The airframe is listed under corporate ownership rather than an individual owner, and contemporary valuation records place this specific airframe at $1,600,000, reflecting its age, configuration and market position.

The Raytheon 400A configuration for this airframe supports a 10-seat layout, aligning it with light-to-midsize corporate transport missions such as short to mid-range business travel and on-demand charter. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given a cruise of 443 kts and range of 1,693 nm, include regional transits and multi-sector routing from its operator base in Mooresville, NC, US. Cabin arrangements on 400-series Beechjets are commonly executive four- to eight-place club seating complemented by belted divans to reach ten seats; specific installed avionics and interior fit for this serial are not published beyond the seat count. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on JT15D-5 engine support and airframe systems typical of late-1990s Beechjet production, with value influenced by cumulative cycles, avionics standards and any supplemental inspections or refurbishments.

The Raytheon (Beechcraft) 400A occupies a niche as a high-performance light business jet, offering near-medium-range capability with high cruise speed and 45,000 ft ceiling relative to contemporaries. Competing models in the era and market include light jets from Cessna and Bombardier, with buyer and charter demand driven by operating economics, cabin flexibility and dispatch reliability. For resale and maintenance, the presence of Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines and a 1997 build year factor into overhaul planning and market valuation, contributing to the recorded $1,600,000 estimated value for this specific airframe.
