N762DD Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N762DD's Hawker 850XP cruises at 448 knots with a range of 2,642 nautical miles. The 2x Honeywell TFE731-5BR 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 850XP is the category standard. N762DD seats 9 in a 21.3 ft cabin that balances comfort against operating cost.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N762DD under its Part 135 certificate. This Hawker 850XP is positioned for regional and short transcontinental routing. Contact The Jet Finder for scheduling.
Insider Note
The midsize category has the deepest pre-owned inventory of any segment. That works in the buyer's favor: more options, more negotiating leverage. N762DD's Hawker 850XP competes in a market where condition, total time, and avionics determine pricing more than model name alone.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
The 2006 Hawker bearing registration N762DD is held by DELTA AVIATION LLC. The 800 series has logged more total fleet hours than any midsize jet in history. What follows is the market intelligence 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 N762DD based in WEST BEND, WI. 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
N762DD 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 2006 production date places N762DD 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
Core strength: midsize capability at light-jet operating costs. The Hawker moves 6 to 8 passengers with bags for $3,500 to $5,000 per flight hour. Compare that to $5,500 to $7,000 for a Challenger 350 or $4,500 to $6,000 for a Citation Latitude. For budget-conscious charter travelers who need more than a light jet, the Hawker is the rational starting point.
When to Choose Something Else
Do not charter a Hawker for airports at high density altitudes during summer months. The TFE731 engines lose meaningful thrust above 5,000 feet elevation in hot conditions. Aspen, Telluride, and Jackson Hole require careful weight planning and may require payload restrictions. For mountain operations, the Citation XLS+ or Challenger 350 handle density altitude with more margin.
Ownership & Operations
Part 91 operations cover owner-flown and company-flown aircraft under general operating rules. Part 135 governs on-demand air charter, requiring higher crew qualifications, maintenance standards, and operational oversight. An aircraft can operate under both parts: Part 91 for owner use and Part 135 when offered for charter revenue. Dual-use arrangements offset ownership costs by generating charter income during idle periods.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Pre-purchase inspections are non-negotiable in aircraft acquisitions. A qualified maintenance facility conducts a detailed review of airframe, engines, avionics, and records. Inspection costs range from $15,000 to $75,000 depending on aircraft size and complexity. Findings from the pre-buy determine final pricing, identify upcoming maintenance events, and reveal any damage history that affects value.
Charter Market Context
Charter demand for business jets follows seasonal and economic patterns. Q4 (October through December) sees peak demand driven by year-end business travel, holiday flights, and tax planning (asset purchases before December 31). Q1 starts strong with CES, Davos, and Super Bowl driving specific route demand. Summer leisure travel to resort destinations creates predictable seasonal corridors.
