N671UP

This airframe, registered as N671UP, is a 2005-built Hawker Beechcraft 400XP bearing serial number RK-415. The aircraft is owned by WHEELS UP PARTNERS LLC, a New York, NY–based limited liability company and is registered in the US. Acquired into the Wheels Up fleet and operated from the owner’s New York base, the airframe’s documentation and registry reflect standard corporate ownership and operation patterns for executive light jets. Valuation records list the aircraft at $2,000,000, a figure reflecting its age, configuration, and market position.

The airframe is fitted in a typical executive configuration described as a 7–10 place executive cabin, with reported center club and forward divan seating variations common to the model. Avionics for this airframe class are commonly the Collins Pro Line suite, and similar airframes have been reported with Pro Line IV and Pro Line V upgrades; this reflects a typical retrofit pathway for maintaining avionics capability. Operationally the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-range executive missions from its New York operator base, offering fast cruise speeds and transcontinental capability within its published range. Maintenance considerations align with twin‑engine turbofan types of its era, with attention to engine shop visits and avionics upgrade cycles noted in fleet management records.

The Hawker Beechcraft 400XP occupies the light-to-light‑midsize executive jet niche, combining relatively high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling with a cabin sized for 7–10 passengers. Its twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5R engines provide performance that supports relatively short sector turnarounds and efficient charter economics over the aircraft’s stated range. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like RK-415 typically centers on fleet operators and owner-operators seeking point-to-point executive transport; resale and maintenance considerations include age-related avionics upgrades and engine maintenance history, factors also reflected in the aircraft’s listed $2,000,000 value.
