N987CL

The airframe bearing registration N987CL is a Hawker 800XP built by Raytheon Aircraft Company in 2001, serial number 258557. The aircraft is recorded as owned by __HAWKER N981CE & N987CE LLC__, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and operates on the US registry. Notable registry information for this airframe includes its explicit linkage to the corporate owner and continued US registration; current market valuation is listed at $2,600,000, reflecting its age, model commonality, and installed equipment baseline.

This particular airframe typically features a cabin described as a 8–9 place executive layout, with full galley and belted lavatory commonly fitted, although exact interior fit is operator dependent. Operation under corporate ownership suggests mission profiles centered on regional to transcontinental executive transport within the aircraft’s 2,432 nm range and at cruise speeds around 430 kts, often utilizing flight levels up to 41,000 ft for favorable winds and fuel efficiency. Maintenance and operational planning center on the twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR powerplants, which define typical maintenance intervals and engine-specific support requirements for this serial. The corporate-owner structure implies centralized maintenance tracking and likely Part 135 or private charter compatibility depending on operator choices.

The Hawker 800XP occupies a mid-size business jet niche offering transcontinental capability with a comfortable executive cabin and competitive cruise performance. Competing models in its era and market segment include other late-model midsize corporate jets offering similar speed and range; resale and charter demand for a 2001 airframe like N987CL is influenced by engine program status, interior condition, and maintenance history. The listed value of $2,600,000 aligns with typical market expectations for an early-2000s Hawker 800XP in operable condition and under corporate ownership, where maintenance records and avionics fit materially affect buyer interest and lifecycle cost considerations.
