With a 2,000 nm range and a cruise of 374 knots, typical missions for this airframe would encompass regional and transcontinental executive transport, positioning and on-demand charter tasks originating from its Pembroke, NC operator base. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet include service and lifecycle management of the twin JT15D-4 powerplants and avionics currency for ADS-B and FMS components.

Buyers and operators evaluating this particular airframe will weigh its eight-seat cabin, mixed-club layout, and installed avionics against the aircraft’s assessed value of $922,375. Maintenance and resale considerations center on engine hours and overhaul status of the Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 engines, as well as the condition and upgrades of the Bendix/King and Honeywell/Garmin avionics suite documented for this specific registration.
