RADAR ESTIMATE

What N176CR is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Beechcraft Premier 1A on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N176CR's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N176CR

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This entry documents airframe N176CR, a 2006 Beechcraft Premier 1A (Raytheon/Hawker Beechcraft 390) built as serial RB-154. The airframe is recorded in the U.S. registry and is owned by NS Aviation Corp, a corporation based in Malibu, CA, US. Broker and specification listings associated with this tail indicate a ProLine 21 avionics modernization in marketing material, and the registry reflects an eight-seat certification despite the typical executive interior layout.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is typically outfitted in a six-place executive cabin layout common to Premier 1A interiors, though the official registry lists 8 seats, reflecting potential alternate seating or certification differences. Avionics sources and broker/spec listings indicate a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite as a modernization shown in marketing material for this specific aircraft. Operationally, this airframe’s 1,360 nm range and high cruise speed support short-to-medium intercity business missions and owner/operator point-to-point travel consistent with Malibu-based corporate operation. Maintenance and equipment considerations for this airframe would center on the twin Williams FJ44-2A turbofans and Pro Line 21 avionics upgrade status as documented in sales and spec listings.

Model & Market Context

The Beechcraft Premier 1A occupies a light jet niche focused on fast cruise and a composite fuselage offering. With two Williams FJ44-2A engines and a maximum cruise of 451 kts, the model competes with light-cabin jets in owner-operated and charter markets where speed and cabin comfort are prioritized. Resale and maintenance profiles for this specific airframe are influenced by its 2006 build year, serial RB-154, the presence of a Pro Line 21 avionics modernization in published listings, and the discrepancy between typical six-place interiors and an eight-seat registry entry.
