N54HP

This airframe, registered as N54HP, is a 1998-built Beechcraft 400A Beechjet with manufacturer designation Raytheon Aircraft Company and serial number RK-160. The airframe is owned by IAL CORP, a corporate owner based in Lewes, DE, US, and operates on the United States civil registry. Built in 1998, the airframe reflects late-1990s Beechjet configuration and is valued at $1,750,000 in current assessments. Registry and ownership entries identify a corporate operator/home base in Lewes, Delaware, which serves as the primary operator locale for this specific aircraft.

The cabin of this specific airframe is configured for 10 seats, indicating a typical small-cabin business jet layout optimized for short to mid-range corporate transport. With a cruise speed of 443 knots and a range of 1,693 nautical miles, typical missions for this aircraft include high-speed, medium-range point-to-point corporate hops within continental U.S. sectors originating from its Lewes, Delaware base. Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines producing 2,965 lbf of thrust each, operational considerations emphasize routine maintenance cycles for the JT15D series and adherence to corporate maintenance programs appropriate for late-1990s airframes. The certified ceiling of 45,000 feet supports high-altitude routing to optimize speed and fuel efficiency on trans-regional legs.

The Beechcraft 400A Beechjet produced by Raytheon Aircraft Company occupies a light business jet niche characterized by relatively high cruise speed and moderate range for its class, as demonstrated by this airframe’s 443 kt cruise and 1,693 nm range. Powered by twin JT15D-5 engines, the model appeals to buyers seeking fast, short- to medium-haul corporate transport for up to 10 passengers. Market considerations for this late-1990s example include age-related maintenance, engine lifecycle management, and resale valuation consistent with the reported price of $1,750,000, factors that typically influence buyer and charter demand for aircraft in this class.
