N489TM

This airframe, registered as N489TM, is a 2008-built Hawker Beechcraft 400XP with manufacturer's serial RK-559. The jet is recorded as being owned by the corporate operator Wheels Up Private Jets LLC, based in the United States, and is maintained in the fixed-wing multi-engine category. Registered in the United States under tail N489TM, the aircraft's publicly listed market valuation is $2,000,000, reflecting a mature but serviceable light business jet airframe and typical value considerations for late-2000s 400XP examples.

The subject 400XP is outfitted in a seven-place executive cabin with a center-club typical layout and an enclosed aft lavatory, consistent with common 400XP interior standards. As operated by Wheels Up Private Jets LLC, the aircraft is suited for short- to mid-range missions such as regional business travel and point-to-point charter flights within continental distances up to its 1,519 nm range at a typical cruise of 450 kts. Avionics fit for this specific airframe is not published here; however, maintenance and operational planning for this airframe would follow corporate operator procedures for light twin-jet fleets, with emphasis on the JT15D-5R engine support and inspection cycles typical of a 2008-build aircraft.

The Hawker Beechcraft 400XP occupies the light corporate jet niche as a cabin-class twin offering transregional range and a high cruise speed relative to turboprops and smaller light jets. Competing models in its era include variants of the Cessna Citation and Embraer Phenom lines that target similar owner-operators and charter operators. For a 2008 serial RK-559 airframe, buyer and charter demand and resale outlook hinge on lifecycle maintenance of the JT15D engines, avionics modernization, and completion condition; these factors substantially influence the realized value around the listed $2,000,000.
