N17RM2008 Hawker 900XP

Tail N17RM Overview

N17RM is a 2008 Hawker 900XP (MSN HA-0069). The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded with transport-category certification and a higher certified seating count; its registry entry lists the current registrant as Ward Acres Farms Texas LLC. The aircraft has a long service history under several registrations (including CS-DPA and N3198V) and was offered for sale in brokerage listings with a full paint and interior refurbishment in 2022.

Operations & Configuration

This airframe is configured as a mid-size corporate jet with operator-style executive fit (typical 8-seat executive layout, forward galley and belted aft lav) while the FAA registry shows a transport-category seating allocation. Avionics and mission equipment on the listed airframe include Collins Pro Line avionics with WAAS/LPV capability, ADS-B Out and a GoGo Avance L5 connectivity system; engines and APU were reported on MSP/Gold programs and maintenance tracking has been run on CAMP. The aircraft's short-field capability, combined with high cruise speed and NBAA-range performance, makes it well-suited for regional shuttle and transcontinental missions.

Model Context

The Hawker 900XP is an evolutionary development of the BAe/Hawker 800 series with Honeywell TFE731-50R turbofans and blended winglets that improve hot-and-high performance and range. It typically cruises in the low-400-kt range, has a service ceiling around FL410 and is commonly operated by private owners, charter operators and small corporate fleets. The 900XP competes in the mid-size used-jet market on capability and operating economics and remains popular because of parts commonality across the 800/850/900 family and established aftermarket support.
