N986CE

This entry documents airframe N986CE, a Hawker 900XP built in 2008 with serial number HA-0087, registered in the US. The aircraft is owned by FARBER AVIATION LLC (noted as co-owned) and is based in Waterford, Michigan, USA. Registry data reflect standard US registration actions for a corporate-operated executive jet; the airframe is presented in the market with an indicative value of $4,800,000, consistent with mid-life 900XP examples. Maintenance and equipment history are typical for the model and owner/operator profile, with common avionics upgrade paths noted.

The cabin of N986CE is fitted in a typical executive configuration: an 8‑place club/divan layout forward with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, providing approximately 551 cubic feet of cabin volume. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 21 in its typical fit, with the airframe commonly subject to operator-driven avionics upgrades. Operational profiles for this airframe are consistent with medium‑range corporate missions out of its Waterford, MI base, leveraging the 900XP’s transcontinental range capability to support point‑to‑point business travel and on-demand charter work. Maintenance considerations follow the TFE731 engine program norms and the Hawker Beechcraft aftermarket patterns applicable to a 2008-built airframe.

The Hawker 900XP occupies the mid‑size midsystem performance niche within Hawker Beechcraft’s fixed‑wing multi‑engine lineup, balancing transcontinental range with executive comfort. With a cruise near 430 kts and a ceiling of 41,000 ft, its mission set competes with other midsize business jets in owner/operator and charter markets. Buyer and charter demand for specific hulls like N986CE typically hinges on avionics fit, maintenance records, and interior condition; resale considerations reflect engine program status and any Pro Line 21 upgrade or retrofit history.
