N984CE

This entry covers airframe N984CE, a 2008-built Hawker Beechcraft 900XP with serial number HA-0065, manufactured by Hawker Beechcraft Corp.. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by SJ2 ENTERPRISES LLC, a corporate owner based in Waterford, MI, US. The airframe is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured for executive transport, and current valuation records list it at $4,550,000. Maintenance and registry information for this specific tail emphasizes corporate operation from a regional Michigan base and standard business-jet upkeep consistent with its avionics and engine fit.

The interior of N984CE is noted as a typical 8-place executive cabin with a forward galley, club seating, and an aft divan with lavatory, despite an overall certified seating capacity of 17. The airframe is equipped with a Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, supporting modern navigation, flight management and situational awareness capabilities typical for its class and era. Typical missions for this airframe under corporate ownership include regional and transcontinental executive transport up to its published range of 2,733 nm, and operations at cruising speeds near 430 kts to altitudes up to 41,000 ft. Based in Waterford, MI, operator scheduling and maintenance cycles are aligned with corporate flight departments and third-party service providers experienced with the 900XP family.

The Hawker Beechcraft 900XP occupies a mid-size business jet niche offering transcontinental performance with twin Honeywell TFE731-50R powerplants producing around 5,000 lbf each. Competing types in its market segment include other light-to-mid-size business jets that prioritize cabin comfort and range, and the 900XP’s combination of speed (430 kts) and ceiling (41,000 ft) keeps it competitive for corporate buyers and charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect aging-cycle metrics for a 2008 model with a known avionics fit of Collins Pro Line 21, and a reported market value of $4,550,000, which informs lifecycle budgeting and operator replacement planning.
