N535CD

The airframe bearing tail number N535CD is a 2003 Hawker Beechcraft 390 Premier I, serial RB-96, registered in the US. The aircraft is owned and operated by CAPITAL AIRCRAFT LLC, an LLC based in Raleigh, NC, US, and carries a reported market valuation of $1,650,000. The unit retains its factory composition as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet and, in registry records, reflects continuous corporate ownership without publicized brokered transfers or re-registration events. Condition highlights for this specific Premier I note typical lifecycle value for a 2003 airframe offered in corporate service at the stated valuation.

The cabin in this airframe is fitted in a 6-passenger executive club layout with 6 executive seats, consistent with owner-operated corporate missions focused on short- to medium-haul business travel. Avionics fit is reported as Collins Pro Line 21, a typical configuration for Premier I listings that supports advanced navigation and IFR operation for corporate flight profiles. With a cruise speed of 426 kts and a range of 1,360 nm, typical routes flown by this aircraft are point-to-point regional and domestic missions from its home base in Raleigh, NC, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the Premier I program: twin Williams FJ44-2A engines requiring line and shop maintenance intervals typical of light-medium business jets, with operator-managed upkeep under LLC ownership.

The Hawker Beechcraft 390 Premier I occupies the light corporate jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and composite fuselage construction compared with earlier light jets. Competitors include other light jets with similar mission capabilities; resale and buyer demand reflect market preference for well-equipped Premier I examples with Pro Line 21 avionics and low-time engine cores. For a 2003 airframe such as N535CD, value and marketability are influenced by maintenance history, equipment fit, and corporate ownership continuity under CAPITAL AIRCRAFT LLC.
