N18GU

Overview

The airframe registered as N18GU is a 2001-built Hawker 800XP, constructor serial 258522, operated under United States registration. The current owner is Knoc LLC, an LLC based in Hinsdale, IL, US, which is recorded as the registered owner for this airframe. No additional public registry actions are published beyond the current US registration and ownership designation.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific Hawker 800XP is set up in a conventional executive layout with a forward four-place club, an aft three-place divan opposite a single seat, yielding a typical 8-passenger executive configuration complemented by a forward galley and an aft lavatory. The avionics suite fitted to this airframe includes a Honeywell SPZ-8000 digital flight deck (ED-800 EFIS), Honeywell FMZ-2000/NZ-2000 flight computers, Garmin GTX-3000 Mode S ES remote transponders, TCAS II, Honeywell MK VII EGPWS and a Primus 880 weather radar, supporting single-pilot capable systems integration and modern situational awareness. Typical mission profiles for this configuration center on regional executive transport and private charters within the aircraft’s 2,540 nm range and high-speed cruise capability, operating from the owner/operator base in Hinsdale, IL, US, or other US corporate hubs. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Honeywell TFE731-5BR-1H powerplants and the installed avionics suite, which drive scheduled shop visits and avionics software/equipment currency.

Model & Market Context

As a member of the Hawker 800 series, the Hawker 800XP occupies the mid-size, transcontinental business jet niche, offering balanced range and cabin comfort for up to 8 passengers at 430 kts cruise and a 41,000 ft ceiling. Resale and operational considerations for this airframe specifically will hinge on the condition of the Honeywell TFE731 engines, the state of the Honeywell SPZ-8000 avionics suite, and interior refurbishment needs to meet contemporary charter or corporate standards.
