N16SM Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N16SM's Hawker 900XP cruises at 448 knots with a range of 2,800 nautical miles. The 2x Honeywell TFE731-50R produce 4,660 lbs per side, supporting a service ceiling of 41,000 feet.
Mission Profile
For 2-4 hour domestic missions with 6-8 passengers, the Hawker 900XP is the category standard. N16SM seats 9 in a 21.3 ft cabin that balances comfort against operating cost.
Charter Authorization
N16SM's operator holds Part 135 authorization. The Hawker 900XP's 2,800 NM range and 9-seat cabin cover the domestic missions that drive the highest charter demand.
Insider Note
Operating costs for the Hawker 900XP range from $3,000-$4,200 per flight hour depending on utilization and maintenance program enrollment. N16SM's operator manages these costs within a Part 135 program where charter revenue is designed to offset fixed expenses.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N16SM is a 2007 Hawker held by JOKITY HOLDINGS LLC. The 800 series spans four decades and five major variants (800, 800XP, 850XP, 900XP, 4000). This briefing covers charter economics and acquisition reality for this registration.
Fleet Position
The Hawker 800 series remains one of the most operated midsize jets in the United States, with roughly 400 on active U.S. registrations. FAA data confirms N16SM based in RICHMOND, VA. While production ended in 2013, the installed fleet continues to fly significant charter and corporate hours. Parts support from Honeywell (engines) and Raytheon/Textron (airframe) remains available, though some Hawker-specific components carry longer lead times than Citation or Challenger parts.
Charter Availability
N16SM is Part 135 charter authorized. Hawker charter rates have compressed as the fleet ages, currently running $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour. This positions the Hawker as one of the most affordable standup-cabin jets on the charter market. The tradeoff is cabin technology: older interiors, less soundproofing than modern midsizes, and narrower cabin windows. For cost-conscious travelers who prioritize value over aesthetics, the Hawker remains a strong option.
Market Position
A 2007 production date places N16SM in the Hawker 800XP or 850XP generation. The XP brought upgraded TFE731-5BR-1H engines with 4,660 lbs of thrust (versus 4,550 on the base 800), improving hot-and-high performance. The 850XP added winglets for better range and fuel efficiency. Pre-owned values range from $2.5M to $4M.
The XP/850XP generation is the most practical Hawker to own today. Engine support is strong, parts are available, and annual operating costs run $300,000 to $400,000 all-in for a Part 91 operation flying 200 to 300 hours. The winglets on the 850XP are worth a 5-10% premium over a non-winglet 800XP at equivalent age and condition.
Mission Profile
Optimized for regional and mid-range domestic routes where cabin standing room matters but ultra-long range does not. Atlanta to Boston in 2 hours 15 minutes. Denver to San Diego in 2 hours. Houston to Key West in 2 hours 10 minutes. The Hawker trades speed (Mach 0.78 cruise) for cabin width and operating economy. For company shuttle routes flown 3 to 5 times per week, the hourly savings compound into significant annual reductions.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip the Hawker for transcontinental routes. The 2,500 nm range falls 500+ nm short of LAX to Teterboro nonstop with typical passenger loads. For coast-to-coast, step up to a Challenger 350, Citation Latitude, or Gulfstream G280. Also avoid the Hawker if cabin aesthetics matter to your passengers; modern midsizes from Cessna and Bombardier have significantly updated interior designs.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft ownership in the United States falls under FAA registration requirements. Every U.S.-registered aircraft carries an N-number that links to public records including owner name, address, airworthiness date, and certificate type. The FAA Aircraft Registry maintains this data and updates it as aircraft change hands. Prospective buyers use these records to verify ownership history, lien status, and maintenance compliance before committing to an acquisition.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Avionics modernization drives both capability and market value. Aircraft with legacy analog instruments trade at significant discounts to those with modern glass cockpits (Garmin G5000, Collins Pro Line Fusion, Honeywell Primus Epic). ADS-B Out compliance is now mandatory in U.S. controlled airspace. Buyers should factor avionics upgrade costs into their acquisition budget when evaluating older airframes.
Charter Market Context
Empty leg pricing offers 25 to 75% discounts on published charter rates. These opportunities arise when an aircraft needs to reposition from a drop-off point back to base or to the next pickup location. The tradeoff is schedule inflexibility: departure time, date, and route are fixed by the operator's existing itinerary. The Jet Finder maintains an empty leg alert system for frequent charter clients.
