N937RA

This entry documents the specific Beechcraft 400A airframe registered as N937RA, a 2006 production example with manufacturer serial RK-460 built by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The airframe is owned and operated by A & L Hawker LLC, an LLC based in Santa Ana, CA, and carries a United States registration (US). The aircraft is a late-model Beechcraft 400A (Beechjet / Hawker 400A) with typical avionics for the type and an estimated market valuation of $1,950,000; FAA records list a 10-seat certification, which may differ from actual interior fitment and has been noted in registry remarks.

The specific cabin configuration for N937RA is an executive layout typically fitted with 6–8 main-cabin seats, although the aircraft retains a 10-seat FAA certification that permits higher-density arrangements depending on interior fitment and operator configuration. Avionics installed are consistent with the 400A/400XP-era baseline, typically a Collins Pro Line 4 suite, with possible owner-specific upgrades not reflected in the supplied data. Based at Santa Ana, CA, the airframe is suited to short- to mid-range business missions, regional hops, and charter work within its 1,693 nm range and high-speed cruise of 443 kts, operating routinely to high-altitude flight levels up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations follow typical 400A practices for twin JT15D-powered airframes and will affect operational availability and resale value.

The Beechcraft 400A (Beechjet / Hawker 400A) occupies a light-cabin, high-speed business jet niche, offering transregional capability compared with single-pilot light jets and larger midsize types. Competing models include light-cabin entrants that prioritize speed and range; buyers and charter operators value the 400A for its cruise performance and altitude capability. Market and resale considerations for N937RA reflect age (2006 build), engine type (JT15D-5R) maintenance cycles, typical avionics fit (Pro Line 4), and the noted 10-seat certification, all factors that influence demand and operator cost of ownership.
