Nextant Aerospace Announces Completion of Pro Line 21™ Certification
RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nextant Aerospace announced today that all requirements have been completed for issuance of an STC for the Beechjet 400A/XP Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 to Pro Line 21 Flight Deck Upgrade.
The Pro Line 21 upgrade program combines one of the most popular avionics suites available with one of the most popular light/medium business jets. “We are excited to have completed the requirements for this STC. Not only does it mark the first certification of Pro Line 21 in a Beechjet it also concludes an important milestone in the development of the 400NEXT aircraft. Pilots and owners like the increased safety and reliability this upgrade brings to the Beechjet 400A/XP in addition to the decreased maintenance and weight.” said Mark O’Donnell, VP of Manufacturing for Nextant Aerospace.
Base price for the Beechjet 400A/XP Pro Line 21 upgrade, consisting of three displays, is $390,000. Additional options are available for four displays, IFIS (Integrated Flight Information System) and XM Satellite NEXRAD Radar. Orders placed before the end of year can include the fourth display at 50% off.
The Pro Line 21 avionics upgrade is key element of the complete 400NEXT program. The Nextant 400NEXT is designed to overcome significant limitations to the popular Hawker Beechcraft 400XP/400A by replacing the existing Pratt & Whitney JT15D engines with the new modern Williams International FJ44-3AP computer controlled engines along with the new Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. The range of the 400NEXT will be increased from 1333 nautical miles to over 2000 (4 passenger, NBAA IFR range) with a 30% reduction in operating costs based on fuel savings alone. The 400NEXT will be offered as a remanufactured serially produced aircraft as well as a modification retrofit program.
