The aircraft carries Honeywell TFE-731-series turbofan engines and retains the external characteristics and range capability associated with the 800XP upgrades.

N977AV is registered as a standard/transport-category aircraft and is commonly operated in two-crew, executive passenger service; the FAA record lists 15 seats for the type certification/registration. Typical mission profiles for this airframe family include coast-to-coast U.S. flights and medium-haul international trips with an executive cabin and forward galley; operator-configured interiors vary but the model is widely used by charter, corporate and fractional operators.

The Hawker 800XP is a proven mid-size business jet introduced as an improved BAe/Hawker variant with upgraded TFE-731 engines, ~2,400–2,600 nm NBAA-range capability and cruise speeds in the low 400-knot range. It offers competitive operating economics and cabin size for the mid-size market, sitting historically between light-cabins like the Citation Excel family and larger heavy-cabins. The type remains popular on the pre-owned market; typical asking prices for clean 800XP examples in recent marketplace listings cluster in the low single-digit millions USD depending on OEM year, total time and avionics/maintenance status.
