G-FXKR Aircraft Overview
G-FXKR is a Beechjet 400A registered in United Kingdom with serial number RK-279. Light jets define the entry point for turbine-powered business aviation, offering jet speed and reliability with lower acquisition and operating costs than midsize or heavy platforms. The aircraft is associated with Flexjet Ltd, registered through the UK CAA. Manufactured in 2000, the aircraft has 26 years in service.
Beechjet 400A Market Position
The Beechjet 400A is the predecessor to the Hawker 400XP, based on the Mitsubishi Diamond II airframe. Over 240 were delivered by Beechcraft before the Hawker rebrand. The type offers entry-level jet performance with established maintenance support through Textron's global service network.
Performance Profile
The Beechjet 400A cruises at 450 knots with a published range of 1,500 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5. An operating ceiling of 45,000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Light jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Beechjet 400A typically seats 8 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
Charter & Availability
G-FXKR is registered in United Kingdom under the UK CAA. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Beechjet 400A platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Light jets access thousands of airports that larger aircraft cannot reach. Runway requirements are typically under 4,000 feet, opening up regional and county airports closer to the final destination. This can save an hour or more of ground transportation compared to flying into a major hub.
