N4988V

The airframe bearing tail number N4988V is a 2008-built Hawker Hawker 400A (Hawker 400XP), serial RK-572, manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by the corporation SINTRA PROPERTY MANAGEMENT INC, based in Palm City, FL, US; the current record reflects corporate ownership rather than individual private ownership. Maintenance and registry records for this specific ship have resulted in a market valuation listed at $1,900,000, consistent with late-model examples of this variant operating in North America. No other ownership transfers or historic notable incidents are recorded in the supplied dataset.

The cabin of this Hawker 400A is fitted in a corporate layout with a forward single aft-facing club chair, a mid 4-place club, aft 2 forward-facing club chairs, and a belted aft lavatory; the published layout supports 8 pax typical occupancy while the aircraft has 10 seats configured broadly for business transport. Avionics are equipped with a Collins ProLine 4 (3-tube EFIS) suite complemented by Collins AMS-5000 and dual GPS-4000S installations, enabling contemporary navigation and flight-management capability for continental routes and higher-altitude operations. Typical missions for this airframe would include regional business travel and on-demand charter legs across the continental US and Caribbean within the stated 1,519 nm range and cruise of 449 kts, operating from the owner’s Florida base with standard corporate maintenance considerations for the JT15D-5R turbofan pair and avionics support.

The Hawker 400A / 400XP family occupies the light-cabin, high-speed small business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability for short-to-medium stage lengths with a high cruise speed and 45,000 ft ceiling as quoted for this example. Competitors in the same mission set include light-cabin jets from manufacturers such as Cessna and Learjet; market demand centers on owner-operators and charter operators seeking speed and cabin comfort at a competitive acquisition cost reflected by the $1,900,000 valuation. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize engine lifecycle (JT15D-5R) monitoring, avionics support for the Collins ProLine 4 suite, and the effect of corporate registration on operational usage and insurance.
