N199TT Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N199TT operates in the light jet segment where speed, efficiency, and airport access converge. The Hawker 400XP covers 1,500 nautical miles at 450 knots. 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5 at 2,965 lbs each keep hourly operating costs among the lowest in the jet category.
Mission Profile
The Hawker 400XP seats up to 8 passengers in a cabin measuring 15.5 ft long, 4.9 ft wide, and 4.8 ft tall. N199TT delivers speed and efficiency for regional missions where time matters more than cabin volume.
Charter Authorization
N199TT is Part 135 certified for on-demand charter. The Hawker 400XP is one of the most cost-effective jet charter options available. Contact us for availability.
Insider Note
Buyers evaluating light jets should compare mission profiles rather than specs alone. The Hawker 400XP's 1,500 NM range and 8-seat cabin suit a specific use case. If the typical mission exceeds 1,500 NM or regularly carries more than 8 passengers, a midsize jet may be the better fit.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N199TT, a 2008 Beechjet under , is a twin-engine light jet originally selected by the U.S. Air Force as the T-1A Jayhawk trainer. Below is the market intelligence.
Fleet Position
Over 600 Beechjet 400A/Hawker 400XP aircraft were produced. Approximately 350 remain on active U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N199TT based in 8 passengers, . The U.S. Air Force operates over 180 T-1A Jayhawk trainers based on this airframe, ensuring deep parts support and maintenance expertise for decades.
Charter Availability
N199TT is Part 135 charter authorized. Beechjet charter rates range from $2,400 to $3,500 per flight hour. The Beechjet is one of the most affordable light jet charter options with a true twin-engine configuration. For 4 to 6 passengers on routes under 1,200 nm, the Beechjet delivers reliable service at competitive rates.
Market Position
N199TT is a 2008 Hawker 400XP (the rebranded Beechjet with Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and improved engine management). Pre-owned values range from $1.5M to $3M. The 400XP represents the best balance of acquisition cost and modern capability in the Beechjet family.
The 400XP versus CJ2 decision: the Beechjet has a wider cabin (4.9 ft vs 4.8 ft) and seats one more passenger, but requires two pilots versus the CJ2's single-pilot certification. For companies with existing two-pilot crews, the 400XP is competitive. For owner-operators, the CJ2's single-pilot cert is the decisive advantage.
Mission Profile
Optimized for corporate shuttle and charter operations where two-pilot safety is valued. The Beechjet's twin-engine design, USAF pedigree, and forgiving handling characteristics make it one of the safest light jets in operation. Military training programs have built an enormous pool of pilots type-rated on this airframe.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip the Beechjet for single-pilot operations. The aircraft requires two crew members, which adds $80,000 to $120,000 annually in pilot costs versus a single-pilot CJ2 or CJ3. For owner-operators, this eliminates the Beechjet from consideration.
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.
