N717KV

This airframe, registered as N717KV, is a 1999-built Hawker 800XP with manufacturer listed as Raytheon Aircraft Company and serial number 258449. The airframe is registered in the US and is registered to N717KV LLC, a limited liability company based in Wilmington, DE, US. Public sale and registry extracts do not publish a detailed equipment log or recent transaction history; valuation extracts indicate an estimated market value of $2,600,000. The aircraft is a typical late-1990s 800XP example, represented in civil fixed-wing multi-engine transport categories and operating with an executive eight-passenger interior.

The cabin of N717KV is outfitted in a typical eight-passenger executive configuration with a forward galley, club seating and an aft lavatory and a stand-up cabin length of approximately 21 ft. Avionics for the Hawker 800XP fleet commonly consist of Honeywell Primus/SPZ-family fits — listed generically as Typical Honeywell Primus/SPZ-family fit on 800XP fleet (Primus/Primus 880 / SPZ-series avionics commonly fitted) — while the specific panel fit for N717KV is not published in public sale or registry extracts. Typical missions for this airframe type and configuration include medium-haul executive transport and on-demand charter flights within continental ranges consistent with its 2,432 nm capability, operating from business hubs and private terminals consistent with a Wilmington, DE ownership base. Routine maintenance considerations align with mid-life 800XP practices, emphasizing engine hot-section inspections and avionics modernization potential.

The Hawker 800XP occupies a mid-size super-midsize business jet niche offering transcontinental range with high cruise speed (443 kts) and a comfortable cabin for up to 8 passengers. Competing models in this category include earlier and later variants of the Hawker series and comparable mid-size business jets from Bombardier and Gulfstream; buyers often value the 800XP for its balance of speed, cabin size and operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1999 airframe like N717KV include lifecycle expenditures for airframe corrosion control, engine TBO cycles on TFE731 engines, and potential avionics upgrades where the fleet-typical Primus/SPZ systems may be modernized.
