N881AF

This airframe, registered as N881AF, is a Hawker 800XP built in 1996 with serial number 258289. The jet is listed in civil registry as owned by PETROTRANSIT LLC, an LLC based in Cypress, TX, US, which serves as its primary operator/home base in public records. Registry information notes a typical executive fit and capacity updates, including an entry that the aircraft may be configured for up to 15 seats. Valuation records place this specific airframe at $2,605,000, reflecting its mid‑1990s build and the maintenance/market position of the model.

The cabin for this aircraft is described as a typical executive installation for the model, commonly fitted for 8–10 passenger executive layouts though the registry lists up to 15 seats; configurations frequently feature an aft lavatory and executive club seating. Avionics are noted generically as the Honeywell/Primus‑era suites common to the 800XP line (SPZ/Primus configurations are typical), but the specific fit for N881AF is not published. With a range of 2,470 nm and a cruise speed near 430 kts, the airframe is well suited to domestic and short transcontinental missions from its base in Cypress, TX, supporting corporate, charter or departmental transport roles. Maintenance considerations center on the airframe’s age and TFE731‑5 engines, which require standard mid‑life inspections and life‑limited component tracking consistent with the model.

The Hawker 800XP from Raytheon (Hawker Beechcraft / Raytheon Corporate Jets Inc.) occupies a mid‑sized, fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet niche characterized by moderate transcontinental range, comfortable executive cabins and efficient twin TFE731 powerplants. Performance parameters for this airframe—430 kts cruise, 41,000 ft ceiling and 2,470 nm range—define its mission profile and buyer appeal. Market and resale considerations for a 1996 serial 258289 include age‑related maintenance, avionics upgrade potential for continued operational relevance, and valuation at $2,605,000, which aligns with market expectations for similarly equipped, mid‑1990s 800XP airframes.
