RADAR ESTIMATE
What N189K is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Beechcraft Premier IA on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N189K's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N189K
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N189K, a 2008-built Hawker Beechcraft 390 Premier IA with serial number RB-248. The aircraft is recorded as registered in the United States and is owned by BIBG2 LLC, an LLC based in Georgetown, Kentucky, US, which serves as its operator/home base. Registry and ownership history for this airframe centers on its private LLC registration and an executive configuration certified for eight seats.
Operations & Cabin
This airframe is outfitted in an executive cabin with a typical 6-8 place arrangement and, for this specific registration, is configured as 8 seats; the layout supports short- to mid-range corporate missions and light charter work. The installed or typical avionics fit is the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, which supports modern IFR operations, flight management, and regional point-to-point routing consistent with the type's mission profile. With a cruise speed of 370 kts and a range of 1,002 nm, typical operations for this airframe include domestic business trips, multi-city hops within a single flight day, and access to airports with runway lengths suitable for light jets. Maintenance and operational considerations follow Hawker Beechcraft service schedules for the Premier IA family and the Williams FJ44 turbofan fleet programs.
Model & Market Context
The Hawker Beechcraft 390 Premier IA occupies the light jet category, offering business operators a blend of relatively high cruise speed, a composite fuselage, and a pressurized executive cabin. Competing models in its niche include other light-cabin jets optimized for short- to mid-range routes.
