N561PS

This airframe, registered in the United States as N561PS, is a 1980-built British Aerospace HS-125-700A with manufacturer serial number NA-0262. Constructed by British Aerospace, the jet is recorded in civil registry under the ownership of Aircraft Sales Of America LLC of Fenton, MI, US. Its administrative history is defined by that ownership record and domestic registration actions tied to the US civil registry. Acquisition by Aircraft Sales Of America LLC represents the most recent notable ownership entry for the airframe.

The cabin of this specific HS-125-700A conforms to the airframe’s 15-seat capacity, supporting small-group corporate transport, executive shuttle missions or air-taxi operations over medium-long distances. With a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft and a range of 2,706 nm, the aircraft is typically tasked on domestic transcontinental sectors and regional international hops when operated from its US base. Operator maintenance considerations for this airframe center on upkeep of two TFE731 turbofan powerplants rated at 3,500 lbf thrust apiece and periodic airframe checks appropriate to a 1980 build year. Cabin versatility and seating capacity make the platform suitable for mixed passenger-cargo configurations or executive interior layouts within the constraints of the HS-125-700A cabin envelope.

The British Aerospace HS-125-700A occupies a mid-size business jet niche characterized by twin TFE731 engines, moderate long-range capability and 15-passenger seating in certificated layouts. Competing models in its era and market segment include other 1970s–1980s mid-size business jets offering similar payload and range profiles. Buyer and charter demand for this type typically favors mature, well-maintained examples for cost-effective corporate or charter operations, while resale considerations reflect age-related maintenance cycles, engine time, and the availability of parts for an airframe built in 1980.
