N776RS Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
At 448 knots and 2,642 NM, the Hawker 850XP handles the domestic missions that make up the majority of Part 135 flying. N776RS's 2x Honeywell TFE731-5BR deliver 4,660 lbs per side with a proven maintenance track record.
Mission Profile
N776RS's cabin accommodates 9 passengers across 21.3 ft of length. At 6.0 ft wide and 5.8 ft tall, the Hawker 850XP provides enough room for club seating and a small refreshment center.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N776RS under its Part 135 certificate. This Hawker 850XP is positioned for regional and short transcontinental routing. Contact The Jet Finder for scheduling.
Insider Note
Buyers comparing midsize jets should focus on three variables: engine program enrollment, avionics generation, and interior condition. N776RS's 2006 manufacture date and active Part 135 status suggest the aircraft is maintained to revenue-service standards, which typically exceeds Part 91 maintenance requirements.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N776RS is a 2006 Hawker under LEGACY20 ENTERPRISES LLC. The Honeywell TFE731 engines on this platform have one of the longest service histories in business aviation. This briefing covers where that heritage translates to value and where it does not.
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 N776RS based in MADISON, 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
N776RS 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 N776RS 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.
