N209BK1997 Nextant 400XTi

Overview

This airframe, registered as N209BK, is a remanufactured Beechjet carried as a Nextant 400XTi and originally built in 1997 with serial RK-137. The airframe was remanufactured by Nextant Aerospace from an airframe supplied by Raytheon Aircraft Company / Beechcraft 400A, and it is currently owned by Ryffel Aviation LLC of Fort Worth, TX, US.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific Nextant 400XTi is configured as an 8-passenger executive interior featuring a 3-place divan, 4-place club seating, a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, reflecting a focus on short-to-medium haul executive transport. The airframe is fitted with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite including dual FMS and modernized Pro Line 21 displays, enabling contemporary situational awareness and flight management capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include owner/operator business trips and on-demand charter legs within its 1,925 nm range at 400 kt cruise speed from its Fort Worth base. Maintenance considerations are shaped by the remanufactured status, the integration of Williams FJ44-3AP turbofans and the Pro Line 21 cockpit reduces obsolescence concerns compared with original 1997 equipment.

Model & Market Context

The Nextant 400XTi, a remanufactured Beechjet 400A, occupies a niche for buyers seeking light-to-mid-size cabin performance with improved fuel efficiency and range over legacy light jets. It competes with other remanufactured or updated light jets and newer small-cabin designs where buyers prioritize modern engines and avionics at lower acquisition cost. Resale and maintenance considerations center on the benefits of the FJ44 powerplants and the standardized Pro Line 21 fitment, factors that support continued charter demand and more predictable maintenance cycles compared with non-remanufactured contemporaries.
