I saw this thread (even if it is a little old) and a got a good laugh. I have flown these and one retired US Air CA I flew with hated them because of the spoilerons. The differences are relatively minor. The A has 6 windows vs 5 for the XP (that is how I recognize them on the ramp). The engine nacelles on the XP also have doors on the side that pop open with a check engine oil light. You just press the button and if the light turns green it saves you from getting a ladder...lol

The XP also has 200 lbs more MTOW (16,300 lbs) and I think an owner can get a "kit" from the manufacturer on the A model to get the same results. From what I remember in training I think it is essentially a $18.5K piece of paper saying you can operated a higher weight limits--no actual airframe mods

BE400xti Pressurization issues
Quick question. I had been flying the Nextan for almost a year. No discomfort in my ears or pax ears at all. Then they hired a new Captain and problems started. He blames the “bumps” on the pressurization system. I do not know if it is him creating the problem or is a valve issue. Any help will be appreciated

Weird that you say that. Our Nextants have been doing the same thing recently too.

Flying an xp. If i make a cabin change I'll turn the rate controller down to zero then creep it up to 500fpm. Anything else i get spikes.

We were having it specifically with the R bleed air source fail in a plane, but usually the light would extinguish before you got the checklist out and did it, usually no more than 5 seconds or so. It seemed to be some kind of indication issue. Good luck, the nextants seem to be more quirky than the old As and XPs maintenance wise. |

Sorry think I replied to the wrong comment on the other thread, ask if the guy is getting a L or R bleed air source fail and running the checklist, as it'll have you swap from both norm to L or R (depending on which one is showing failed) if the source fail remains lit.

In training they have been telling us that all Nextants have been experiencing the momentary bleed source fail light either L or R. They are telling is as long as it goes out in about 15 seconds it's a nuisance light.

Nextant 400 xti pressurization issues
Thank you guys I appreciate all comments. The Captain in question ended up quitting. I think he got overwhelmed.
