Overview
This airframe, registered as N178CF, is a 2007-build Beechcraft 390 Premier IA with serial RB-178. It is owned and operated by Calspan Corp, a corporation based in Buffalo, NY, US, and carries a United States registration. Registry details reflect continued corporate operation from its Buffalo home base and a standard maintenance and valuation profile for a 2007-model Premier IA.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin is fitted in the typical six-place executive club layout with an aft lavatory, matching the standard Premier IA fit for corporate missions. Avionics are the Collins Pro Line 21 suite (typical), supporting modern IFR and corporate operation profiles. With a cruise speed of 451 kts and a range of 1,350 nm, the airframe is routinely used for short- to mid-range executive transport flights and mission profiles originating from its Buffalo, NY base. Owner/operator maintenance practices and the aircraft’s 2007 build year inform routine inspections and system updates consistent with corporate flight department standards.
Model & Market Context
The Beechcraft 390 Premier IA occupies the light-jet performance niche, offering cabin comfort for a small executive party coupled with transcontinental regional capability under 1,350 nm range constraints. It competes with other light jets in its class for owner-operators and charter operators seeking a high-cruise-speed platform with a pressurized, well-appointed cabin.
