Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N88UA, a Beechcraft Beechjet 400 built in 1988 with manufacturer serial RJ-49. The aircraft is recorded as owned by ENCORE JET MANAGEMENT LLC of San Antonio, TX, US, a limited liability company noted as the on-record owner and operator base; any earlier ownership history is not published. Registry actions and detailed maintenance status are not published in the supplied data. Market valuation supplied for this specific airframe is $1,400,000, reflecting a late-1980s Beechjet example in its operator-configured condition.
The cabin on this individual aircraft is operator-configured and registered with 9 seats; typical Beechjet 400 interiors offer 7–9 executive seats in double-club or club-and-divan layouts, and this airframe follows the upper end of that range. Avionics fit varies across the model line; many early Beechjet 400s use Collins Pro Line 4 or upgraded suites, but the specific panel for N88UA is not listed in public records. Typical missions for this type and configuration include short-to-medium-range executive transport or on-demand charter flights within the aircraft’s approximately 1,180 nm range and high-speed cruise capability near 446 kts, operating from the owner’s base in San Antonio, TX. Maintenance considerations for an airframe of this vintage generally focus on engine program adherence for the JT15D-5 units and calendar/flight-hour-based inspections consistent with operator records.
The Beechcraft Beechjet 400 family occupies a light business jet niche emphasizing relatively high cruise speed and single-pilot capability in many configurations. Competitors historically include other late-1980s/1990s light business jets; buyer and charter demand tends to favor well-maintained, updated avionics and interior-equipped examples. For an airframe like N88UA (serial RJ-49, year 1988) resale and operational economics hinge on condition, engines’ time between overhauls, and any avionics upgrades, all of which directly influence marketability relative to the supplied valuation of $1,400,000.
