Model & Market Context
This entry documents airframe N71KV, a 2003-built light business jet manufactured by Beechcraft (Raytheon / Textron Aviation) with serial number RB-71. Entered service in 2003, the airframe carries a United States registration (US) and is recorded under that national registry. Ownership history, operator/home base details and any notable registry actions are not published for this specific airframe. Condition and valuation highlights for N71KV are not published beyond factory configuration and installed equipment.
The cabin of N71KV follows the typical six-place executive layout common to the model: a four-place club arrangement forward plus two aft chairs, and an enclosed aft lavatory. Avionics installed are the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, incorporating Collins FMS-3000, AFD-3010 EFIS, FGC-3000 flight guidance, WXR-800 weather radar and dual TDR-94D Mode S transponders, supporting IFR point-to-point business missions. With a cruise speed of 426 kts and a range of 1,380 nm, typical operations for this airframe include short international hops and domestic regional executive transport; payload and fuel planning reflect the six-seat configuration and light-jet performance. Specific operator base and routine maintenance scheduling for this airframe are not published, though the installed systems imply avionics-common maintenance cycles typical of Collins Pro Line 21 equipage.
The Beechcraft 390 Premier I occupies the light-cabin, high-speed corner of the business-jet market, offering turbine performance with composite-laminate fuselage construction and turbofan power from the Williams FJ44 family. With a top cruise near 426 kts and a 41,000 ft ceiling, it competes with light jets such as the Cessna Citation CJ series and Embraer Phenom 300 in missions emphasizing speed and runway performance. Buyer and charter demand historically favors well-equipped, low-time examples with Pro Line 21 avionics; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine time, avionics shop support for Collins systems, and the airframe’s documented service history, which for N71KV is not published.
