N707JQ Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N707JQ sits in the midsize segment where operating costs balance against cabin comfort and range. The Hawker 800XP covers 2,540 NM at 448 knots. 2x Honeywell TFE731-5BR at 4,660 lbs each keep fuel burn predictable.
Mission Profile
For 2-4 hour domestic missions with 6-8 passengers, the Hawker 800XP is the category standard. N707JQ seats 9 in a 21.3 ft cabin that balances comfort against operating cost.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N707JQ under its Part 135 certificate. This Hawker 800XP is positioned for regional and short transcontinental routing. Contact The Jet Finder for scheduling.
Insider Note
Midsize jets access more airports than heavy or ultra-long-range platforms. The Hawker 800XP's shorter runway requirements mean N707JQ can reach county airports, executive terminals, and secondary fields that reduce ground transportation time for passengers.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N707JQ is a 2005 Hawker registered to FMAO INC. The Hawker 800 series is the most-produced midsize business jet in history, with over 1,100 delivered. Here is the operational context for this airframe.
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 N707JQ based in HUDSON, OH. 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
N707JQ 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 2005 production date places N707JQ 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.
