N578BB

This entry covers airframe N578BB, a Beechjet 400A built by Raytheon Aircraft Company in 2000 with serial RK-298. The aircraft is registered in the US and most recently held by the corporate owner AIRCRAFT TRUSTEE SERVICES INC TRUSTEE based in Dover, DE, US, reflecting a trustee ownership arrangement rather than a named private operator. Registry records and valuation assessments list the airframe value at $1,600,000, with no public record here of earlier operators or significant incidents; the trustee ownership suggests a history of transition or asset management.

The cabin for N578BB conforms to the typical 7–10 place executive layout for the model, with double-club and forward-club seating arrangements commonly installed; the specific fit for this airframe is reported within that 7–10 place executive range. Avionics aboard a 400A are typically the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, representing a contemporary corporate flight-deck fit consistent with the type’s mission. Operationally, this airframe’s performance—combining a 443 kts cruise and 1,693 nm range—suits short to mid-range executive transport, air-taxi, and fractional operations out of regional bases; maintenance and airworthiness tasks for this example would align with corporate-jet program schedules under trustee management.

The Beechjet 400A occupies the light business jet niche as a twinjet offering relatively high speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling, competing historically with similarly sized light jets. With the airframe’s assessed value at $1,600,000, resale and charter-market considerations for this example include engine TBO, avionics configuration (typical Collins Pro Line 4), interior condition within the 7–10 seat layout, and the implications of corporate trustee ownership on marketability and title transfer. Maintenance history and exact interior fit will materially affect demand among buyers and charter operators.
