N48TC

This airframe, tail number N48TC, is a 2001 production example of the Raytheon 390 Premier I, serial RB-13, built by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The aircraft is owned by ALPHA TANGO AIR LLC (an LLC based in Grand Forks, ND, US) and is registered in the US. Operators and movements are centered on the owner’s Grand Forks location; public data on valuation and condition is Not published. The installation and configuration reflect the factory Premier I build standard for the 2001 model year.

The airframe conforms to the Raytheon-built Premier I layout, offering an eight-seat internal cabin consistent with light jet executive transport missions. Typical missions for this registration focus on short- to mid-range business and charter flights within a roughly 1,500 nm radius and use cruise speeds near 369 kts to optimize trip times for regional routes. Based at Grand Forks, ND, the operator profile for N48TC suggests utilization in corporate or LLC-operated transport rather than airline service. Maintenance considerations follow the twin-engine Williams FJ44-2A support infrastructure and scheduled inspections for the 2001 Premier I airframe; specific avionics fit and premium cabin options for this specific serial are not published.

The Raytheon 390 Premier I occupies the light/entry-level business jet niche, offering transregional capability with a 41,000 ft service ceiling and turbofan performance derived from twin Williams FJ44 engines. Competing models in the class historically include other light jets that emphasize speed and short-field access; buyer and charter demand typically values reliable engine support and cabin comfort for up to 8 passengers. For this 2001 serial RB-13, resale and maintenance considerations are driven by engine life cycles on the Williams FJ44-2A and the airframe’s maturity in a market that prizes updated avionics and interior refurbishments.
