Model & Market Context

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N79EK, a Beechcraft Beechjet 400A (Hawker 400A) built in 2002 with manufacturer serial RK-347. The airframe is recorded as a US-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine jet and carries an estimated market value of $1,500,000 in the supplied data. Ownership timeline and operator/home base not published. Notable registry actions not published. Condition highlights are limited to the provided valuation and type particulars rather than an explicit maintenance or damage history.

The subject airframe is typically outfitted in a seven-place executive double-club seating arrangement with an enclosed aft lavatory and a forward refreshment area, reflecting a standard executive interior fit for the model. Avionics for RK-347 examples are noted as the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, which supports the navigation and communication needs typical for regional corporate missions. Operationally, the aircraft’s 1,180 nm range and 410 kt cruise speed position it for short- to medium-length business missions, high-utilization charter legs, and owner-flown interstate travel when based in the United States. Specific operator base, unique amenities beyond the typical cabin fit, and detailed maintenance considerations for this airframe are not published in the provided data.

The Beechcraft Beechjet 400A (Hawker 400A) occupies the light business jet niche as a compact, fast twin with transcontinental-limited range and higher cruise speed relative to some turboprops. Typical competitors in performance and role include other light jets with similar seating and speeds; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2002 RK-347 airframe are influenced by engine type—Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5—and avionics fit such as Collins Pro Line 4. At an indicated value of $1,500,000, market demand tends to center on buyers seeking cost-effective entry into light-jet ownership or charter operators acquiring fleet examples with known avionics and interior configurations.
