Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N917EA is a 2003-built Hawker 400XP (Beechjet 400A), serial RK-369, manufactured under the Hawker Beechcraft lineage from the original Mitsubishi MU-300 design. The aircraft is owned by the corporate operator Sky Quest LLC, based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe appears in broker and registry listings with a current indicative market value of $1,600,000, reflecting its early-2000s build, common avionics fit, and light jet market dynamics.
This specific Hawker 400XP is outfitted in an eight-passenger executive cabin configured as a dual forward club with fold‑out tables, an aft pair of forward‑facing seats, a forward galley, and a belted flushable aft lavatory, supporting typical short- to medium-haul corporate missions. Avionics are listed to broker specification as the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, including a Collins FMC-5000 flight management unit, dual Collins PFD/EFIS displays, Collins TCAS, and Collins weather radar capability, enabling IFR operations and common corporate routing between regional business centers. Based from Cleveland, OH under Sky Quest LLC, the jet’s mission profile is consistent with owner/operator use for on-demand charter or corporate transportation; maintenance considerations center on JT15D engine support and Pro Line 4 avionics lifecycle items.
The Hawker 400XP (Beechjet 400A) occupies the light, high‑speed business jet niche, offering transcontinental feeder range for regional hops and efficient cruise near 450 kts. It competes with other light jets of its era in mission capability and cabin comfort, while resale value and buyer demand are influenced by avionics upgrades, engine maintenance status, and airframe cumulative hours. For this airframe—serial RK-369—marketability will hinge on documented maintenance, Pro Line 4 avionics desirability among buyers, and the ongoing supportability of the JT15D engine family.
