First Retail Delivery For Pro Line 21 Upgrade
The first retail Pro Line 21 Upgraded Beechjet 400XP was handed
over to its new owner on Tuesday by Constant Aviation, LLC, a
maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility headquartered at
Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. Constant Aviation says the
Pro Line 21 upgrade program delivers increased situational
awareness and control for the popular light business jet. This
completion brings the total upgrades accomplished by Constant
Aviation to three.
“When we began working with Nextant Aerospace on this STC
program we knew it would bring added value to Beechjet 400A/XP
owners and to deliver the first retail upgrade was an exciting
accomplishment for Constant. The Pro Line 21 upgrade takes the
Beechjet 400A/XP into the 21st century and streamlines the cockpit
providing reduced workload for the crew,” said Stephen
Maiden, President of Constant Aviation.
Beechjet 400A/XP
Base price for the Beechjet 400A/XP Pro Line 21 upgrade,
consisting of three displays, is $390,000. Additional options
include: a fourth display, IFIS (Integrated Flight Information
System) with electronic charts, XM Graphical Weather, and a
WAAS/LPV capable FMS. The Pro Line 21 avionics upgrade is a key
element of the complete 400XT program. The Nextant Aerospace 400XT
significantly improves the extremely popular Hawker Beechjet
400A/XP by extending its range more than 50% to over 2,000 nautical
miles (4 PAX NBAA IFR) while reducing operating costs by 30%. The
400XT is equipped with a Pro Line 21 upgrade that seamlessly
manages the Williams FJ44-3AP Full Authority Digital Engine control
(FADEC) and enables future NEXTGEN avionics equipage
requirements.
