Model & Market Context

This airframe, registration N57MQ, is a 2005-build Hawker 400XP (Beechjet 400A) with serial number RK-429, manufactured through the Raytheon Aircraft Company (Beechcraft/Hawker lineage). The listed owner is TRANSCREDIT SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Centreville, AL, US, which appears as the current registered operator/home base in available records. No public record of multiple prior owners or notable registry actions is provided in the supplied data. The aircraft is valued at $2,900,000 and is presented with an executive interior and modern avionics fit consistent with an actively operated light business jet.

The cabin is configured in an executive eight-passenger layout with a seven-seat mid-cabin club arrangement, forward galley, belted aft lavatory, and a forward right-side baggage cabinet, supporting short- to medium-range corporate missions and on-demand charter or owner-flown operations. Avionics as listed include a Collins EFIS/FIS suite (Collins FIS-870), dual Collins FMS-5000 units, Collins TCAS 4000, Honeywell Mark V EGPWS, dual Garmin GTX transponders, Artex ELT, and Collins GPS/ADF/DME components, providing a modern navigation and situational awareness suite for continental IFR operations. Typical missions for this airframe profile emphasize point-to-point regional travel within the listed range and cruise performance, operating from business airports and FBOs compatible with light twinjet operations. Maintenance considerations align with the Hawker 400XP lineage and Pratt & Whitney JT15D series engines, with support networks and parts availability reflective of a well-established fleet type.

The Hawker 400XP (Beechjet 400A) occupies the light, high-performance corporate jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and cabin comfort than many light turboprops and older light jets. It competes with aircraft such as the Cessna Citation family and older Learjet variants for buyers seeking transregional speed and runway flexibility. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor well-equipped, avionics-upgraded examples; the listed Collins and Honeywell equipment suite supports resale appeal. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe include JT15D engine lifecycle costs and the airframe’s 2005 vintage, with valuation influenced by avionics, interior condition, and documented maintenance history.
