Beechcraft Beechjet 400A

Listing-based estimates for the 13 Beechjet 400As on Radar run from about $1M to $2M, with a middle estimate of $1.4M. They are rough estimates from public listings and market reports, not appraisals.

What moves the price of any one Beechjet 400A: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline; a Beechjet 400A with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.

As published: up to 9 passengers, a range of 1,476 nm (1,699 statute miles), a high-speed cruise of 447 ktas (514 mph), a ceiling of 45,000 ft, a cabin 4 ft 9 in high, 4 ft 11 in wide and 2 × Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 engines. A given aircraft varies with its completion, weight and modifications.

The Beechjet 400A's published range is 1,476 nautical miles (1,699 statute miles), with 4 passengers (800 lb payload), NBAA IFR reserves with 100 nm alternate (Raytheon 2003 spec). Winds, payload, cruise speed and the reserves a flight carries change what a given trip can do.

Not nonstop between New York and London: that is about 2,986 nm, against a published range of 1,476 nm. Aircraft with less range than the crossing make it in legs, with fuel stops in Canada, Greenland and Iceland.

Not nonstop. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nm over open water, more than the Beechjet 400A's published range of 1,476 nm.

The Beechjet 400A cruises at up to 447 knots true airspeed (about 514 mph), and its maximum operating Mach number is 0.73, as published.

The Beechjet 400A is certified to 45,000 feet. Heavy aircraft climb there in steps as they burn fuel.

Up to 9 passengers, the most the type is published for. Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats, so a given Beechjet 400A may seat fewer.

4 ft 9 in high and 4 ft 11 in wide, 15 ft 6 in long, as published.

Radar covers the Beechjet 400A (built 1996 to 2008), the Beechjet (built 1996 to 2002) and the 400A (built 2008). They share this page because people search for them as one aircraft; each has its own section with its specs, value and tail numbers.
