N1523

This airframe, registered as N1523, is an Airbus Industrie-built Airbus A320-233 delivered in 2001 with manufacturer's serial number 1523. The airframe is recorded as owned by MSN 1523 LLC, an LLC based in San Diego, CA, US, and carries a US registration. The aircraft has undergone notable role change, having had its passenger interior removed for a passenger-to-freighter conversion as the C Cubed Aerospace prototype; this conversion and the LLC ownership represent the principal documented events in its operational history. Condition and valuation notes are limited to registry and conversion status.

The aircraft's cabin has been converted to freighter status in the context of the C Cubed Aerospace CCF prototype program, with the original passenger interior removed for the P2F conversion; prior passenger seating capacity is recorded as 300. Avionics fit and operator-specific equipment are not published in the available data, but the A320-233 airframe typically supports modern digital flight decks adaptable to freighter mission avionics upgrades. With a transcontinental range of 3,200 nm and a cruise speed of 447 kts, operational profiles for this converted airframe are consistent with short- to medium-haul cargo sectors and feeder routes operated from a US base. Maintenance considerations center on the aircraft's conversion pedigree and the lifecycle implications of a 2001-build airframe undergoing structural and systems modifications associated with P2F work.

The Airbus A320-233 is a member of the A320 family positioned in the single-aisle, short- to medium-range market niche, offering cruise speeds and ceilings typical of its class. Competing types include later A320ceo/neo variants and competing narrowbodies from other manufacturers; in cargo conversion markets the A320 platform is increasingly evaluated against older 757s and newer narrowbody freighter conversions. Buyer interest for converted A320s typically hinges on conversion program credibility, remaining structural life, and engine type; this airframe's IAE V2527E-A5 engines and documented prototype conversion status make its maintenance and resale considerations particularly tied to certification outcomes and operator acceptance of the CCF modification.
