N302FL

This airframe, registered as N302FL, is a converted freighter originally built as a Boeing 737-8Z0 (737-800) in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 30072. The airframe is owned by Flight Lease, a leasing company; further detailed leasing history and current operator/base assignments are Not published. The airframe underwent a passenger-to-freighter conversion and is recorded as a P2F/BDSF type; this modification is a notable change in the aircraft’s lifecycle and is presented here as an important operational milestone. Valuation and condition assessments beyond the conversion status are Not published.

The aircraft features a P2F freighter conversion with the main deck configured for cargo carriage and passenger seats removed, making the cabin dedicated to freight operations. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists are Not published for this individual airframe, though typical BDSF conversions retain standard 737-800 flightdeck systems modified as required for freighter operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-range, high-frequency cargo sectors within the aircraft’s 3,060 nm operational range, operating at cruise speeds near 454 knots and at altitudes up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations are shaped by the conversion status — structural modifications, cargo door installations, and main-deck reinforcement drive inspection regimes and records — but specific maintenance records and current base of operations are Not published.

The 737-800 family occupies a large narrowbody freighter and passenger niche, offering a balance of payload, range and operating cost suited to regional and transcontinental cargo operators. As a converted P2F/BDSF freighter, this specific airframe leverages the widespread availability of 737-800 hulls and the proven CFM56-7B engine commonality, factors that support aftermarket demand. Competing platforms include newer generation narrowbodies and dedicated freighters, and resale or lease considerations for converted 737-800s typically emphasize remaining structural life, conversion pedigree, and engine hours — specifics for N302FL beyond conversion status are Not published.
