N65DL

The airframe bearing registration N65DL is a British-built business jet delivered in 1993, serial number 258224, a BAe 125 Series 800A (marketed as the Hawker 800A). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by CHESTNUT NORTHERN PARTNERS LLC, an LLC based in Farmington Hills, Michigan; this ownership is the primary recorded operator/home base linkage for the type certificate and civil registry. No other publicized notable registry actions are provided for this specific tail; the airframe’s valuation at the time of record is relatively low for the class at $675,000, reflecting age, market conditions for 1993-model mid-size corporate jets, and typical maintenance status expectations for airframes of this vintage.

This specific Series 800A is fitted in a typical executive fourteen-place mixed executive/charter layout, configured for corporate transport with flexibility for charter revenue operations. The original avionics fit is documented as Honeywell SPZ-800, which many airframes of this batch retain in original form although the type commonly receives Collins or Rockwell Collins ProLine retrofits during mid-life updates; no specific retrofit history is provided for this registration. Typical missions for the airframe include transcontinental and regional executive transport within the aircraft’s approximately 2,432 nm range and high-speed cruise capability near 443 kts, operating from the owner’s Michigan base for business or charter hops. Maintenance considerations follow the Hawker 800A lifecycle: older TFE731-5BR engines require ongoing shop visits and component tracking consistent with mid-1990s production airframes.

The BAe 125 Series 800A (Hawker 800A) occupies the mid-size corporate jet niche for operators seeking higher cruise speeds and transcontinental capability without the acquisition cost of newer long-range types. Competitors historically include mid-size models from Gulfstream, Bombardier Challenger derivatives, and various Cessna Citations offering different mission trade-offs. Buyer and charter demand for early-1990s 800A airframes is driven by acquisition price, avionics retrofit status, and engine life; the documented market value of $675,000 for N65DL indicates notable depreciation, making maintenance reserves, avionics modernization, and parts availability primary resale considerations.
