N988RS

This entry covers airframe N988RS, a 2002-built Hawker 800XP with serial number 258598, manufactured by Raytheon Aircraft Company. The airframe is owned by Executive Jet Management, Inc. (a corporation); operator and home base information not published. The aircraft is registered in the US and carries a market valuation around $2,500,000, reflecting its mature mid-size business-jet condition and typical lifecycle positioning for the model year.

The airframe is equipped with a typical 8-passenger executive cabin layout—club seating—with a forward galley and an aft lavatory as standard for the Hawker 800XP model. In service on charter and corporate transfer missions, its combination of a nominal 2,540 nm range and 430 kts cruise speed supports transcontinental and offshore routing profiles, enabling nonstop sectors between major business centers within continental ranges. Routine operations and mission profiles for this specific airframe would emphasize executive shuttle, on-demand charter, and corporate repositioning tasks; detailed avionics fit and maintenance records for this tail number are not published. Maintenance considerations for the airframe align with the model’s twin Honeywell TFE731 lineage—periodic engine shop visits and mid-life airframe checks influence operating cost and residual value.

The Hawker 800XP platform occupies the mid-size super-midsize business jet niche, prized for balanced cabin comfort and transcontinental capability. Competing models in its era include late-model Cessna and Bombardier designs that target similar mission sets and passenger counts. Given the airframe’s 2002 vintage and the listed valuation of $2,500,000, buyer and charter demand tends to favor well-documented maintenance histories and upgraded avionics; resale considerations for N988RS will be driven by logbook completeness, engine cycles on the Honeywell TFE731-5BR engines, and the condition of the standard executive cabin fit.
