This entry covers airframe N492TM, a 2008-built Hawker Beechcraft 400A (400XP) with manufacturer serial RK-580. The airframe is owned by WHEELS UP PARTNERS LLC, an LLC listed in New York, NY, USA, and is registered in the US.

The cabin for this airframe is described as a typical seven-passenger executive layout, featuring club seating, a refreshment center, and an enclosed aft lavatory, though the exact fit remains operator-dependent for N492TM. With seating capacity listed as 10, the configuration supports mixed crew/passenger arrangements common to fractional and charter operations. Performance characteristics such as a 1,565 nm range and 450 kt cruise speed position the airframe for transregional point-to-point missions, including high-frequency business shuttle and on-demand charter flights originating from the owner’s New York base. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect the twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5R engines and standard light-jet systems; specific avionics fit and unique amenities for this serial are not published in the supplied data.

The Hawker Beechcraft 400A (400XP) family occupies the light corporate jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient climb and en route performance. Competing models in the segment typically include other light-cabin jets that prioritize short to mid‑range executive missions. Demand among buyers and charter operators often centers on speed, cabin layout flexibility, and maintenance history; for N492TM, those assessments hinge on its 2008 build year and the installed JT15D-5R powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model commonly focus on engine shop visits, calendar-based inspections, and avionics upgrades, details of which are not specified for this individual aircraft.
