N501BW

The airframe bearing tail number N501BW is a 1997 Beechcraft 400A Beechjet, serial number RK-167, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to Romero Leasing Inc, a corporate owner based in Stuttgart, AR, US, reflecting a leasing ownership structure rather than direct private operation. The entry indicates a mid-life business-jet airframe with an assessed market valuation of $1,600,000, suggesting the aircraft is positioned in the pre-owned light-jet market with condition- and completion-dependent value considerations.

This specific Beechcraft 400A typically carries an executive interior configured for club seating for 7–9 passengers with an additional belted lavatory seat, and a forward galley/refreshment area; the exact configuration may vary by completion. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 4, though the fit is noted as typical/upgrade dependent, indicating potential differences in fitment between completions or retrofits on this serial. Operationally, with a cruise of 443 kts and a range of 1,693 nm, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-range executive missions, charter hops, and corporate point-to-point travel from its operator base in Stuttgart, AR under corporate leasing arrangements. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow light-business-jet practices, with attention to JT15D-5 engine cycles and Pro Line 4 avionics supportability depending on upgrade status.

The Beechcraft 400A Beechjet family occupies the light business-jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient short-haul executive transport. Competing models in the segment include other light jets with similar payload-range and speed characteristics. Buyer and charter demand in the secondary market is influenced by interior completion, avionics standardization or upgrades, and engine maintenance status; with a listed value of $1,600,000, resale considerations for this airframe will center on completion condition, avionics pedigree, and remaining engine life.
