Beechcraft Premier IA, light jet with a composite fuselage. Innovative cabin.
How much runway the Premier IA needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
No mandatory factoring: fits 357 of 465 Brazilian public runways.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.
Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.
Typical factory configuration (curated data). The drawing below is schematic and at approximate scale; the actual layout varies by interior and year.
Launched in 2001, it was the first bizjet in history with a 100% composite fuselage, a carbon-fiber/epoxy/honeycomb sandwich. Technology inherited from the Beechcraft Starship that allows thinner walls, a wider cabin and a lighter structure without losing stiffness.
The IA version (2005-2006) brought updated avionics, native RVSM certification and payload improvements. About 163 IA units were produced in 5 years before Hawker Beechcraft's bankruptcy in 2012-2013.
At 1.68 m wide and 1.65 m high, it offers a larger cabin than the CJ1+, Phenom 100 and Mustang. The composite construction eliminated the need for internal stringers, freeing up space, and passengers notice the comfort immediately.
Mach 0.80 and a 451 kt cruise rival midsize jets such as the Hawker 800XP, but with an operating cost of USD 1,700/hour vs. USD 3,500. A unique position in the market: a small jet that flies fast.
1,500 nm is a typical light jet range, with no transcontinental reach. The 77 ft³ baggage compartment is adequate, but loses to the CJ3 (95 ft³) and Phenom 300 (84 ft³). It lacks a stand-up cabin, and taller passengers have to stoop.
Hawker Beechcraft filed for Chapter 11 in May 2012 and Textron bought the Beechcraft assets in 2014, definitively discontinuing the Premier IA and the Hawker 4000. Parts support today is through Textron Aviation, but the fleet is aging with no direct successor.

2 operational aircraft owned by companies in the ANAC registry (RAB). Each opens the profile with owner, operator, status and history.
The Beechcraft Premier IA is out of production, so there is no factory price. On the used market the median is around US$ 2.0M, varying with year and flight hours; see real listings on this model's Market tab. Reference value as of 06/2026.
The maximum range is 1500 nm (1,500 NM · 2,778 km).
Cruise speed is 451 kt, equivalent to 835 km/h, or Mach 0.80.
The Beechcraft Premier IA seats up to 7 passengers, crew not included.
There are 5 active units in the RAB-ANAC (data as of 11/10/2026): operational, mark reservation or suspended, excluding cancelled registrations.
4 distinct operators operate 4 units of the Beechcraft Premier IA in the RAB-ANAC: 1 in air taxi (RBAC 135) and 3 in private operation (RBAC 91), concentrated in SP, SC and DF (data as of 11/10/2026). Another 1 unit is under registration reservation (tail number reserved, not yet operating). Name, fleet and state of each operator are on this model's Analytics tab and in the operators directory.
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 4,010 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 2,550 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves) plus US$ 292,000 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance), under Jet Tracker's default assumptions (Southeast Brazil, in-house crew, 200 h/year).
