N717MT

This entry covers airframe N717MT, a British Aerospace business jet built in 1989 with manufacturer serial number 258163. The airframe is a production example of the British Aerospace BAe 125 Series 800A (Hawker 800A) and is registered in the US. It is owned by Jetnet LLC Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is recorded with an estimated market value of $1,600,000. Registry records indicate US registration actions consistent with operation under a corporate trustee ownership model; no other public operators or incident history are noted in the provided data.

The cabin for this airframe adheres to the typical executive arrangements seen on Series 800A examples, commonly fitted in a club format for 8–12 passengers with certified configurations up to 14 seats; a forward galley and aft lavatory are commonly installed, though the actual interior layout for N717MT may vary. Avionics on this legacy jet are variable depending on retrofit history; typical upgrades for airframes of this vintage include Collins Pro Line series or Honeywell SPZ‑800 suites, and many examples receive Pro Line/EFIS modernization. Operationally the Series 800A is used for medium‑to‑long regional business missions within its 2,390 nm range and cruise regime near 424 kts, with typical single‑sector profiles between major business hubs. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow legacy‑type patterns: older airframes often require avionics modernization, life‑cycled engine and APU overhauls, and careful records management under trustee ownership.

The British Aerospace BAe 125 Series 800A (Hawker 800A) family occupies the midsize business jet niche, providing transregional capability with a maximum certified cabin occupancy up to 14 seats and service ceilings up to 41,000 ft. Competing models historically include midsize jets from Bombardier and Gulfstream contemporaries; demand in the used market emphasizes well‑documented maintenance, avionics upgrades, and engine life remaining. For an aircraft like N717MT, valuation at $1,600,000 reflects its vintage 1989 build, the TFE731 powerplant commonality, and the economics of investing in avionics and interior refurbishment to sustain charter or corporate utility.
