N981CL

This entry covers the specific Hawker 800XP airframe registered as N981CL, built in 2002 with serial number 258563 by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by HAWKER N981CE & N987CE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company based in Wilmington, DE, US. There are no public records here of other operators or transfers; the available registry points to corporate ownership and typical corporate/operator basing in the owner’s home state. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided data.

The airframe carries a typical executive cabin fit described as an 8-place executive layout but is certificated for up to 15 pax under its standard transport certificate, allowing flexibility between corporate shuttle missions and higher-density transport. Avionics on this 800XP are typically the Honeywell SPZ-800, a common fit that supports standard corporate IFR operations. With a long-range capability of 2,540 nm and a cruise near 430 kts, this airframe is well suited for transcontinental and regional corporate missions, ferry flights, and on-demand charter where the owner’s operational base is aligned with the Wilmington, DE registration. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow Hawker 800XP norms, including attention to TFE731-series engine program requirements and avionics support for Honeywell SPZ-800 suites.

The Hawker 800XP occupies a mid-size business jet niche, prized for balanced range, cabin comfort, and runway performance. With twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines producing 4,660 lbf each and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type competes with other mid-size jets in owner-operator and charter markets. Buyer demand often hinges on maintenance history, avionics standardization such as the Honeywell SPZ-800, and cabin configuration options; resale considerations for this airframe would weigh its 2002 build year and certificated seating flexibility against market supply of similarly aged 800-series airframes.
