N51B

The airframe bearing tail number N51B is a 1999-production example of the Beechjet 400A, serial RK-261, built by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by Sky Aviation Holdings LLC, a corporation based in Pompano Beach, FL, US. This specific airframe is noted in registries as a corporate-owned Raytheon 400A with an assessed value of $934,923, reflecting its market position as an older light business jet. No additional public record of prior operators is provided; the current ownership status indicates corporate operation from a Florida base.

The cabin configuration for this airframe follows the common executive layout with typical 7–8 passenger executive club seating and includes a forward galley plus a belted aft lavatory, suitable for short- to mid-range corporate missions. Avionics fit on this 400A example is from the Collins Pro Line series, consistent with many Beechjet 400A completions that carry Pro Line 4/Pro Line variants, supporting contemporary navigation and communication needs for charter and company operations. With a cruise speed of 449 kts and a range of 1,326 nm, typical mission profiles for this aircraft include regional business flights and point-to-point charters within the continental United States from its operator’s Florida base. Maintenance considerations follow light jet practices for twin JT15D turbofans, with corporate ownership suggesting scheduled upkeep in line with Part 135/Part 91 standards as applicable.

The Beechjet 400A occupies the light business jet niche offering high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient, fast regional transport. Competitors in its era and market segment include other light twins with similar seating and range capabilities; buyer demand tends toward cost-conscious operators and fractional or charter fleets seeking speed over long-range payload. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1999 airframe with Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines emphasize engine program status and avionics condition—here the Collins Pro Line series is a positive factor—while the assessed value of $934,923 reflects age, cycle history expectations, and market supply of late-1990s light jets.
