N331AJ

This entry describes airframe N331AJ, an Israel Aircraft Industries IAI 1125A Astra SPX built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 122. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by ACORN LEASING CO LLC, a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US. The operator/home base is effectively Savannah, Georgia under the corporate ownership listed in registry records. Registration and ownership are current as noted in public FAA entries for this tail number.

The cabin of N331AJ is typically fitted in an executive layout designed for 6–9 pax, although FAA records show 14 seats for this registration; common installations for this model include a forward galley and a full‑width aft lavatory. With a long range of 3,065 nm and a cruise speed around 450 kts, this airframe is configured for medium- to long-range corporate or charter missions, including transcontinental U.S. sectors and nonstop flights into the Caribbean. Powerplant choice of twin Honeywell TFE731-40-1C turbofans aligns with established maintenance support paths for the type and influences scheduled shop visits and parts provisioning. Based on the owner’s corporate location, routine base maintenance and operations are typically coordinated through service providers proximate to Savannah, GA.

The IAI 1125A Astra SPX occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental range relative to entry-level business jets. Competing models in its performance bracket include other turbofan light/midsize business aircraft that emphasize speed, cabin comfort, and efficiency. Buyer and charter demand historically centers on operators seeking a mix of speed and range with moderate cabin capacity; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine time, avionics standards, and the documented seating/utility configuration recorded with the FAA.
