Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N500PM is a 1996-built Raytheon Beechjet 400A (Hawker 400XP), serial number RK-132, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. It is recorded as owned by PSM HOLDINGS INC, a corporation based in Orlando, FL, US, and carries US registration. The aircraft is a fixed-wing, multi-engine light business jet powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada engines and configured for executive transport. The airframe’s documented configuration and equipment set reflect typical mid-1990s factory builds with operator-specific interior and avionics choices.
The cabin of N500PM reflects a typical executive club layout designed for 6–8 passengers while being certified for up to 10 seats, and includes an enclosed aft lavatory and refreshment center. Avionics installed on similar airframes commonly feature the Collins Pro Line 4 suite; this airframe may be operated with that fit or with upgraded systems, as some examples receive Pro Line 21 or Garmin suites as optional modernization. Based from Orlando, FL, the aircraft’s performance (cruise speed and range) supports regional and transcontinental missions within its light-jet class, primarily executive transport and corporate shuttle duties. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow standard twin JT15D series practices and any logbook-documented avionics upgrades and interior refurbishments.
The Raytheon Beechjet 400A (Hawker 400XP) occupies the light business jet performance niche with a high cruise speed around 414 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, offering compact-cabin executive capability with relatively long range for its class (1,519 nm). Its twin JT15D engines balance performance and operational economy for short- to medium-haul missions. Market demand for this family typically centers on owner-operators and charter operators seeking high-speed point-to-point capability; avionics upgradeability (Pro Line 4 to Pro Line 21 or Garmin) and documented maintenance history are key resale and operational value drivers.
