Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N831KB, is a 2005-built Hawker 400XP (Beechjet 400A / Raytheon 400A) with serial number RK-504. The airframe is owned by AE LEASING LLC, a corporate owner based in Topeka, KS, US, and is registered in the United States. There are no additional public registry actions or multiple-operator histories provided in the data set; the aircraft is presented with a market valuation of $1,600,000, reflecting its age, configuration and common market depreciation for the type. Maintenance condition specifics are not published beyond the model-standard equipment and common upgrade paths.
The cabin of N831KB is arranged in a seven-place executive club layout with a forward galley and a belted lavatory, suitable for corporate or private transport missions up to medium regional distances. The airframe carries the Collins Pro Line 4 avionics fit as a common configuration; WAAS/LPV and ADS‑B upgrades are commonly installed in this model though specific retrofit status for this tail number is not published. Typical missions for this configuration include short- to medium-haul executive flights, owner/operator or fractional-lease charters originating from its owner’s base in Topeka, KS, and time-sensitive point-to-point travel where speed and runway performance are prioritized. As a corporate-owned aircraft, ongoing maintenance considerations generally align with standard Hawker 400XP programs and the Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5R engine maintenance cycles.
The Hawker 400XP (Beechjet 400A / Raytheon 400A) occupies the light-corporate jet niche with cruise speeds around 414 kts and a service ceiling near 45,000 ft, competing against light jets such as the Cessna Citation II/Bravo family and early-model Learjets for charter and owner-flown roles. Its twin JT15D-5R engines provide adequate climb and field performance for short-runway access, while the 1,519 nm range suits regional missions. Buyers and charter operators consider factors such as avionics upgrades (WAAS/LPV, ADS‑B), remaining maintenance life, and interior refurbishment when evaluating market value and resale prospects for aircraft of this vintage.
