N715LA

The aircraft bearing registration N715LA is a 1999-built Raytheon Hawker 800XP, serial number 258441, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The airframe is owned by LONGBOW AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in Fernandina Beach, FL, US, and operates on the US civil register. Notable registry information includes the corporate ownership and domestic registration under US authority; valuation records list the airframe at $2,250,357, reflecting its late-1990s vintage and market position. The aircraft presents as a typical executive-class mid-size business jet with common systems and configurations for its series.

The cabin of N715LA reflects a typical 8-place executive layout, with double-club and club-and-divan arrangements commonly fitted to this airframe, supporting corporate transport and on-demand charter missions. The avionics fit for this airframe is commonly the Honeywell SPZ-800, though ProLine/other upgrades have been reported on some airframes, indicating that specific avionics may vary by modification history. Operating from its base in Fernandina Beach, FL, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and regional missions within its 2,540 nm range at a cruise of 430 kts, offering efficient single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on configuration. Maintenance considerations for this particular jet would follow Hawker 800XP service practices, with attention to the Garrett/Honeywell TFE731 engine series common to the fleet.

The Raytheon Hawker 800XP family occupies the mid-size, transcontinental business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, range and runway performance that competes with contemporaries in its class. The aircraft’s twin TFE731 turbofans and a 41,000 ft ceiling support typical corporate, air-taxi and light charter roles, while the 8-seat executive cabin remains attractive to buyers seeking mature, well-documented airframes. In the used market, factors such as avionics fit (stock Honeywell SPZ-800 versus upgraded ProLine suites), maintenance history, and cumulative engine cycles influence resale value and demand; this airframe’s recorded valuation of $2,250,357 places it within the mid-to-late market band for similar late-1990s Hawker 800XP examples.
