N51GM

This entry documents airframe N51GM, a Hawker Beechcraft 390 (Beechcraft Premier 1/1A) delivered in 2012 bearing serial RB-294. The aircraft is owned by AEROBAT VENTURES LLC, a corporation based in Phoenix, AZ, and carries a United States registration. Built by Hawker Beechcraft (Beechcraft) and equipped in typical executive configuration, this specific airframe has been operated from its listed owner/operator base in Phoenix. 2012 delivery and corporate ownership in Phoenix are the principal recorded points in this aircraft’s public trail.

The airframe is fitted for executive transport with an interior described as an executive club seating layout for 6–8 passengers, typically arranged as a six-place executive configuration, and includes fold-out tables, a refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory. Avionics conform to Collins Pro Line 21 standards, with modernized installations commonly featuring dual FMS, TDR-94D Mode S transponders, TCAS and WAAS/LPV capability, supporting IFR and precision approaches. Typical mission profiles for this airframe profile center on short- to medium-range corporate and charter flights within the continental United States, leveraging its cruise speed and range for point-to-point city pairs from its Phoenix base. Maintenance considerations follow the Premier 1/1A fleet commonality for Williams FJ44-2A engines and Pro Line 21 avionics systems.

The Hawker Beechcraft 390 (Beechcraft Premier 1/1A) occupies the light business jet niche, offering turbofan speed and cabin amenities aimed at owner-operators and charter operators. With a cruise near 451 kts and a service ceiling to 41,000 ft, it competes with other light jets in its range band, attracting buyers seeking higher cruise speeds and a composite-forward fuselage. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model emphasize engine support for the Williams FJ44 series and avionics upgrades, with market demand driven by corporate operators and charter firms valuing the executive cabin and regional performance.
