Hawker Premier 1A Aircraft in South Africa

Hawker business jets, later produced under Beechcraft / Hawker Beechcraft.

The Hawker Premier IA (2005-2013) is the composite-airframe light jet from the Hawker Beechcraft era — Williams International FJ44-2A turbofans, ~451 kt cruise, ~1,500 nm range, eight- passenger stand-up cabin in a composite fuselage. The Premier represented Hawker Beechcraft's attempt to bring composite-airframe technology into the light-jet segment, with potential weight and aerodynamic benefits. Production was limited (~290 units of original Premier I and Premier IA combined) before Hawker Beechcraft's 2012 bankruptcy ended further development.

Buying a Used Hawker Premier 1A

Buying a Hawker Premier 1A comes down to a focused pre-purchase checklist — here is what matters most on this model:

What to check before buying

  • Williams FJ44-2A engine program — Williams TAP or equivalent; verify enrollment.
  • Composite airframe — verify any damage history; composite repair procedures require Hawker-trained or composite-experienced shops.
  • Parts availability — limited production run (~290 units total) means parts and support are thinner than 800-series; verify parts-availability situation before purchase.
  • Mandate compliance — verify ADS-B Out, RVSM, FANS status.
  • Honeywell Primus EPIC avionics — modern for the era; verify software revision.

Which Premier IA? Limited production means all examples are roughly the same generation; focus pre-buy on engine status, composite airframe condition, parts availability assessment.
