N492DY

This entry documents airframe N492DY, a 2001-build Raytheon Hawker 800XP, serial number 258546, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered in the US as N492DY. The aircraft is owned by LERMA AVIATION LLC (an LLC based in Dallas, TX, US) and is operated from that locale. Valuation and condition highlights list a market value of $2,605,000, with factory-origin systems and typical retrofit avionics consistent with its build and usage history.

The cabin of N492DY is arranged in a typical two-crew, six–eight passenger executive club layout with an aft lavatory and service area, noting that specific interior fit can be operator-dependent. Avionics are fitted with Honeywell SPZ-series equipment representative of factory installations or common retrofits for the model. Typical missions for this airframe include medium-to-long-range executive transport and charter operations within the continental United States, leveraging a long-range capability of 2,432 nm and a high cruise speed of 443 kts. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines and airframe age from 2001; the current ownership by LERMA AVIATION LLC suggests centralized maintenance and base support in Dallas, TX, US.

The Raytheon Hawker 800XP family occupies a mid-size, transcontinental business jet niche known for balanced cabin comfort and economy of operation. Competing models in its era include other late-1990s to early-2000s mid-size business jets offering similar speed and range. Demand for well-maintained 800XP airframes remains steady on the pre-owned market, with resale and maintenance considerations tied to engine TBOs, avionics retrofits such as Honeywell SPZ-series upgrades, and interior condition relative to charter or corporate use. The listed value of $2,605,000 reflects market placement for a 2001 airframe with the specified equipment and ownership history.
