N386RL

This airframe, registered as N386RL, is an Israel Aircraft Industries 1124 Westwind built in 1983 with manufacturer's serial 386. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by KC AVIATION HOLDINGS LLC of Tonopah, Nevada, US, reflecting a corporate ownership arrangement. The aircraft's history with that LLC constitutes the principal documented ownership record for this tail number and establishes Tonopah as the operator/home base linkage in public registry data. No additional registry actions or valuation details are published beyond the existing U.S. registration and corporate ownership entry.

The cabin of this airframe is reported in a typical 7–10‑place executive layout, consistent with Westwind interior configurations designed for business transport and short‑to‑mid‑range corporate missions. Operationally, with a long-range cruise capability and a high cruise speed, the airframe is suited to transcontinental U.S. point‑to‑point missions and interstate charter work originating from its Tonopah, NV base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow the Westwind’s established schedules for twin‑engine turbofan systems and corporate fleet operators; no unique avionics modifications or supplemental mission equipment are documented for this serial. The aircraft’s US registration implies compliance with FAA continuing airworthiness and operating regulations applicable to fixed‑wing multi‑engine executive jets.

The Israel Aircraft Industries 1124 Westwind occupies a niche as a light to midsize business jet offering relatively high cruise speeds and transcontinental range for its generation. With twin TFE731-3-1G engines producing 3,700 lbf each, it competes historically with contemporaries in the light business jet segment that emphasize speed and efficient short‑field performance. Buyer and charter demand for Westwinds tends to focus on operators valuing fuel‑efficient turbofan performance and cabin flexibility, while resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine program availability and airframe corrosion inspections typical for early 1980s builds.
