N125DJ2007 Nextant 400XTi

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N125DJ is a 2007 Hawker Beechcraft Corporation-built fuselage remanufactured by Nextant Aerospace into a Nextant 400XTi; the manufacturer's serial is RK-531. Ownership is recorded to N125DJ LLC, an LLC based in Modesto, CA, US, and the aircraft appears on the US civil registry as a fixed-wing multi-engine airplane. The conversion/upfit history includes remanufacture by Nextant and an upgraded avionics and refurbishment documented in 2019 that operator materials cite as a significant update.

Operations & Cabin

This specific Nextant 400XTi is commonly furnished in a 7-place executive layout with a forward club seating arrangement and a belted lavatory when operated in charter configuration, matching operator listings for the airframe. Avionics were updated to a Collins Pro Line 21 fit, consistent with Nextant 400XT/400XTi conversions and noted as part of the 2019 refurbishment referenced by the owner/operator. Typical missions for this airframe include short- to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter work between regional business centers, taking advantage of the 1,925 nm range and a 400 kt cruise speed from a Modesto, California operator base. Maintenance considerations reflect the hybrid nature of the platform: Hawker Beechcraft airframe legacy items combined with Nextant-installed systems and, in many conversions, replacement powerplants and upgraded avionics.

Model & Market Context

The Nextant 400XTi conversion occupies a performance niche that upgrades the Hawker Beechcraft 400A airframe with modern turbofan powerplants and systems to compete with light-to-midsize business jets offering transcontinental capability at reduced operating cost. Typical competitors include other light remanufactured and newer-model small-cabin jets in charter and owner-operator markets; demand is driven by buyers seeking improved efficiency and avionics at lower acquisition cost than new aircraft. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on the quality of the Nextant remanufacture, documented upgrades such as the 2019 avionics refurbishment, and whether the registry shows the typical Williams FJ44-3AP installation versus legacy JT15D-5 engines on record.
