N55BA

The airframe with tail number N55BA is a 1998-built Raytheon Hawker 800XP, constructor serial 258356, and is recorded as owned by KARMA55BA LLC, an LLC based in Stuart, FL, US. The US-registered jet shows a typical corporate ownership and registry trace for a late-1990s mid-size business jet; registration data lists a 15-seat configuration. Current valuation for the airframe is estimated at $2,500,000, reflecting its age, equipment variability, and market condition. Operator and home-base activity is centered in Stuart, Florida, under the LLC ownership noted on registry records.

This specific Hawker 800XP typically carries a standard executive fit: a club seating arrangement for eight to nine passengers, a forward refreshment center, and an aft lavatory, although the registry entry records 15 seats. Avionics for this airframe are variable by retrofit history; common equipment fits include Honeywell SPZ/Primus-series suites supplemented with TCAS‑II and EGPWS when modernized. Operational missions for N55BA are consistent with mid-range corporate and charter work—intercity and regional trips utilizing its roughly 2,470 nm range and 402 kt cruise speed from its Stuart, FL base. Maintenance considerations reflect the 1998 build year and common systems upgrades, with avionics and engine program status being primary factors affecting dispatch reliability and residual value.

The Raytheon Hawker 800XP occupies the mid-size, transcontinental business jet niche, offering balanced speed, cabin comfort and runway performance for corporate and charter operators. Competing models in this sector typically include other late-1990s to early-2000s mid-size jets, and buyer demand often focuses on well-documented maintenance history, avionics retrofits, and engine program participation. Resale and maintenance economics for this airframe are impacted by the common retrofit pathway to modern avionics and the ongoing support for Garrett TFE731-series engines; the recorded valuation of $2,500,000 reflects these market realities for a 1998-build example.
