N900KG 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. N900KG's 2x Honeywell TFE731-5BR deliver 4,660 lbs per side with a proven maintenance track record.
Mission Profile
For 2-4 hour domestic missions with 6-8 passengers, the Hawker 850XP is the category standard. N900KG seats 9 in a 21.3 ft cabin that balances comfort against operating cost.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N900KG 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. N900KG'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
N900KG is a 2006 Hawker under VALIAIR LC TRUSTEE. 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 N900KG based in OGDEN, UT. 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
N900KG 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 N900KG 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.
