N229D

This airframe, registered as N229D, is an Israel Aircraft Industries IAI 1124A Westwind II built in 1985 with manufacturer's serial number 427. The US-registered jet is owned by N229D LLC, an LLC based in Stuart, FL, US, which is the recorded operator/home base for the aircraft. Registry details confirm US registration and the airframe's continued operation within the United States civil registry; the documented ownership is held by a Florida-based limited liability company. No other prior ownership history or valuation data is published in the supplied record.

The cabin on this specific Westwind II is fitted in an executive arrangement with a forward three-place divan and a forward single seat opposite, mid/forward club seating, and an aft four-place club — reflecting the common 8–12 place executive layouts frequently installed on the type. Avionics for this airframe include a Collins suite (EFIS‑85), Dual Collins VHF, Dual DME‑40, Universal UNS‑1E FMS, Collins radar altimeter, TCAS‑I, a CVR and a standard commercial comm/nav fit per the detailed listing, supporting typical owner-operator or charter executive missions. With the combination of a transcontinental range, 420-knot cruise and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, the airframe is configured for medium- to long-range point-to-point business transport from its base in Stuart, Florida; maintenance considerations follow the Westwind II’s twin-turbofan schedule and avionics support requirements.

The IAI 1124A Westwind II occupies a mid-size light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with modest operating costs relative to larger cabin jets. Competitors historically include earlier Learjet and Hawker models in similar mission roles. Demand typically comes from owner-operators and small charter firms seeking compact executive cabins with extended range; resale considerations center on engine TBO status for the Garrett TFE731 series, avionics updates such as EFIS and FMS currency, and the airframe’s maintenance log continuity.
