N484JC

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N484JC, a 2003-built Raytheon Hawker 800XP with serial number 258644. The aircraft was manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company and is listed in public airframe records in a 15-place passenger configuration. Ownership is recorded to the corporation Johnsons Controls, located in Switzerland, while the aircraft carries a US registration; valuation records indicate a market value of $2,200,000. The combination of a mid-production Hawker 800XP airframe, corporate ownership, and transnational registration highlights cross-border asset holding and typical corporate flight department recordkeeping for this airframe.

The airframe's documented configuration is a 15-place passenger configuration, indicating a single-cabin executive or corporate shuttle layout suited to carrying a full complement of passengers rather than a sparse VIP fit. With a long-range capability of 2,540 nm and a cruise speed near 430 kts, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include medium- to long-range corporate transport and point-to-point international hops within its range envelope, operating from a corporate base or charter operator. The twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines provide climb and cruise performance up to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, with maintenance and operational considerations focused on two-engine systems and mid-life airframe upkeep consistent with a 2003 build year. The aircraft’s US registration combined with Swiss corporate ownership suggests periodic international registry interactions and compliance with multiple national aviation authorities.

The Raytheon Hawker 800XP occupies a mid-size business jet niche characterized by moderate transcontinental range, comfortable cabin capacity, and solid speed for its class. Competing models in the segment typically include later-model midsize jets offering similar cruise and range metrics. For a 2003 airframe, the stated market value of $2,200,000 reflects considerations such as engine life, avionics refresh needs, and overall airframe hours; resale and charter demand hinge on maintenance status, current equipment fit, and registry preferences driven by its corporate ownership profile.
