N686SC

This article concerns airframe N686SC, a Raytheon-built light business jet delivered in 1998 with serial number RK-211. The airframe was manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to KA Corp, a corporation based in Missoula, MT, US, which is listed as the current owner/operator for this specific jet; ownership is held by KA Corp in Missoula. The entry reflects the aircraft’s factory model designation and basic registry ties rather than any detailed transactional history or valuation.

The cabin for this specific airframe is configured in a 7-place executive layout (typical club seating), suitable for small corporate or private group missions. With a cruise speed of 443 kts and a range of 1,235 nm, the aircraft is capable of medium regional hops while operating out of its operator base in Missoula, MT, US. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines provide the installed thrust rating of 2,965 lbf each, which informs routine maintenance planning and cycle management for this particular jet. Typical missions for this airframe would center on executive transport consistent with a seven-seat cabin and the performance envelope implied by its specified cruise, range, and 45,000 ft service ceiling.

This airframe carries the factory model designation Raytheon (Beechcraft) 400A (Beechjet / Hawker 400XP) and therefore belongs to that light business jet family. The combination of a seven-seat executive cabin, a 45,000 ft ceiling, and twin JT15D-5 engines characterizes the aircraft’s performance niche as a compact corporate jet optimized for short- to medium-range point-to-point operations. Built in 1998, the airframe’s age is a principal factor for maintenance and resale considerations specific to this unit, while its technical specification set (range, cruise, ceiling, and engine type) defines its operational and aftermarket profile.
