N383SF

The airframe bearing registration N383SF is an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI-1125A Astra SPX, completed in 1996 with manufacturer serial number 083 and registered in the US. This individual aircraft is a factory-built example of the Astra SPX variant produced by Israel Aircraft Industries and is identified by its specific serial and tail number in regulatory records. Its factory fit and serialing position it among mid-1990s SPX production, retaining the original manufacturer configuration and typical equipment choices for that production period. Registry entries note the US registration and the airframe’s continued operation within the executive multi-seat configuration typical for Astra SPX examples.

This airframe is fitted in an executive layout configured for two crew and seating scalable between 6–14 passengers, with a forward galley and an aft lavatory as common elements of the cabin fit. Typical avionics fit on SPX examples is the Collins Pro Line series, and this airframe is noted with the Collins Pro Line (typical Pro Line series avionics on SPX/G100 examples) suite as its operational navigation and flight-management ensemble. With a cruise speed of 450 kts and a range of 2,950 nm, the aircraft is sized for medium- to long-range executive missions, corporate shuttles, and charter operations that require non-stop flights across continental distances and efficient climb to its 45,000 ft service ceiling. Maintenance and cabin support reflect executive outfitting priorities, with the forward galley and aft lavatory providing typical service capability for passenger-carrying missions.

The IAI-1125A Astra SPX occupies a performance niche as a high-speed, mid-size business jet with transcontinental range and high-altitude capability, driven by reliable Honeywell TFE731 series turbofan powerplants. Its combination of cruise speed, range, and seating flexibility competes with other mid-size executive jets in the same era, attracting buyers and operators seeking a balance of speed and passenger capacity. Market considerations for this airframe type typically focus on engine and avionics supportability, airframe hours correlated with the 1996 build year, and the resale position influenced by cabin configuration options and the presence of Collins Pro Line avionics.
