N685SL

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing the registration N685SL, a Hawker Beechcraft 4000 built in 2010 with serial number RC-46. The aircraft is manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation and is recorded as owned by N685SL LLC, a corporation based in Camden, DE, US. Registered in the US, this airframe carries a contemporary executive fit and avionics set consistent with late-production Hawker Beechcraft 4000 examples; its estimated market value is listed at $4,584,132. Ownership is held by a Delaware-registered limited liability company, indicating corporate stewardship rather than individual private ownership.

This specific Hawker Beechcraft 4000 is outfitted with a 12-seat executive interior (configuration may vary) that supports traditional corporate transport missions, including transcontinental and high-speed regional hops enabled by its long-range capability. The flightdeck is equipped with Honeywell Primus Epic avionics, providing integrated flight management, weather and situational awareness systems appropriate for charter or corporate operation. With a cruise speed of 470 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, typical mission profiles for N685SL include non-stop flights on routes requiring extended range and elevated cruise altitudes for efficient weather avoidance and air traffic access. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the twin-PW308A powerplant common to the type and the avionics suite maintenance cycles customary for transport-category business jets.

The Hawker Beechcraft 4000 occupies a mid-to-large cabin business jet niche, offering long-range and high-speed capability that competes with aircraft such as later-generation super-midsize jets. Buyers and charter operators value the combination of a 3,341 nm range and six-figure cruise speeds for point-to-point corporate transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect age (built 2010) and systems such as the Honeywell Primus Epic suite and PW308A engines, which influence lifecycle costs and market demand in the pre-owned fixed-wing multi-engine segment.
