Manufactured by Beechcraft in 1988, this specific airframe is noted in registry records primarily by its construction serial and US registration; detailed public records of subsequent ownership transfers or operator base are not published. The airframe’s equipment status reflects common upgrades for late-model 400-series jets, and its condition in valuation summaries is not published pending formal appraisal. No notable registry actions or high-profile incidents are publicly recorded for this serial in the supplied data.

This airframe typically carries an executive seven–nine place cabin layout consistent with corporate configurations for the Beechjet 400 family, and the listed configuration for this jet is an executive 7–9 place arrangement within a nine-seat certificated interior. Avionics commonly fitted to 400A/400XP upgrades such as this airframe include the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, which is typical for operators seeking modern navigation and communications capability. Operationally the aircraft is capable of short- to medium-haul corporate missions, business shuttle work, and owner-flown transport within a typical mission range of 1,200 nm and cruise speeds near 420 kts. Specific operator base, unique cabin refurbishments, or maintenance history for this serial are not published in the data provided.

The Beechjet 400 (Beechcraft 400) occupies a light business jet niche offering transcontinental regional capability with relatively high cruise speed and a 41,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in its era include light jets from Cessna and Learjet families; resale and charter demand tends to favor airframes with upgraded avionics like the Collins Pro Line 4 and well-documented maintenance records. Key market considerations for this model involve engine program status for the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D series, interior refurbishment condition, and the availability of upgraded avionics—factors that materially influence maintenance planning and resale valuation.
