N496TM

This entry documents the airframe bearing tail number N496TM, a 2008-built Hawker Beechcraft 400A (marketed as the Hawker 400XP) with serial RK-561. The airframe is recorded as owned by Wheels Up Partners LLC, a corporate owner; no additional prior ownership entries or home-base operator details are published in the supplied data. The US-registered jet has an assessed value of $1,740,689, reflecting market positioning for late-model airframes of this type and condition. Registry-specific actions such as major damage events, liens, or recent re-registrations are not published in the provided dataset.

The airframe features a typical seven-place executive cabin with an enclosed lavatory and a flat-floor oval cabin intended for business or high-end charter missions. Avionics are listed as the fleet-common Collins Pro Line 4, acknowledging that owner/operator-specific upgrades may vary from the documented fit. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to mid-range corporate trips and on-demand charter work within the aircraft’s 1,519 nm range and high-speed cruise around 450 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific ship reflect the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5R engines and the 2008 model year vintage; operator maintenance schedules, component shop visits, and any supplemental equipment fit are not published in the source data.

The Hawker Beechcraft 400A / 400XP family occupies the light jet sector characterized by relatively high cruise speeds and transcontinental short-hop capability compared with very light jets. Competitors in the segment include other light-cabin business jets offering similar speed and range trade-offs. Demand among buyers and charter operators often emphasizes reliability, cabin layout flexibility, and avionics capability; the presence of Collins Pro Line 4 is consistent with standard business-jet avionics expectations. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will typically hinge on engine cycles for the JT15D-5R pair, calendar age from 2008, and any undocumented supplemental upgrades performed by Wheels Up Partners LLC.
