Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N964TS is a Beechcraft Premier I, serial RB-129, registered in the United States and operated by Pinnacle Aviation Charter of Scottsdale, Arizona. This specific Premier I is registered to the corporation Pinnacle Aviation Charter and is based out of Scottsdale, AZ, US, where it has been employed in on-demand charter operations. Maintenance, registration, and operator oversight reflect typical corporate-charter stewardship rather than private owner custody. No public record of substantial registry actions or major incidents is published in the supplied data.
The cabin of this Premier I is configured as a six-place executive club with an enclosed aft lavatory and a small refreshment/galley area, matching the airframe’s role in short- to mid-range executive and charter missions. Avionics aboard this airframe are typical of many retrofits with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced flight management, situational awareness, and common charter avionics requirements. Typical mission profiles for N964TS include regional point-to-point charters within its approximate 1,500 nm range at cruise speeds near 448 kts, operating out of its Scottsdale base. As a light business jet with a modest executive cabin and small galley, the aircraft prioritizes speed and climb performance over long-haul comfort, and maintenance considerations focus on the Williams FJ44 turbofan lifecycle and avionics retrofit support.
The Beechcraft Premier I occupies a light jet performance niche characterized by high cruise speed and a relatively low cabin volume compared with larger midsize types. Competitors in typical charter markets include other light-cabin jets offering similar single-pilot capability and short-field performance. Buyer and charter demand for Premier I airframes tends to favor operators seeking high cruise speeds (around 448 kts) and efficient regional routings; resale and maintenance considerations often hinge on engine hours for the Williams FJ44-2A pair and the presence of avionics like the Collins Pro Line 21 retrofit.
