N409MC

This entry concerns airframe N409MC, a freighter built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 30558, configured as a Boeing 747-47UF (747-400F, SCD). The airframe is recorded as owned by ATLAS AIR INC, a corporation based in Purchase, NY, US, and is registered in the US. Ownership and commercial registry are tied to Atlas Air’s Purchase, New York base, and no separate public record of valuation or notable registry actions is published for this specific airframe.

The airframe is arranged as a main-deck freighter configured for pallet and ULD handling; it contains no passenger seats and therefore operates exclusively in cargo roles. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems are not published for this individual aircraft. With a mission range of 4,455 nm and a cruise speed near 504 kts, this airframe is suited to medium- to long-range cargo sectors operated from its owner’s base in Purchase, NY, US, typically on scheduled or ad hoc freight services. Maintenance considerations follow freighter-class practices for the 747-400F family, emphasizing main-deck cargo handling equipment and high-cycle structural and floor inspections.

The Boeing 747-47UF (747-400F, SCD) variant occupies a niche for high-capacity, long-range freighter operations within the fixed-wing multi-engine category, offering high payload volumetrics and transcontinental capability up to 4,455 nm and flight levels to 45,000 ft. Powered by 4× GE CF6-80 series engines rated at 47,600 lbf each, the airframe balances fuel efficiency and thrust suitable for heavy cargo missions. Demand for such dedicated freighters is driven by heavy cargo and express logistics needs; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize airframe cycles, freighter conversion components, and operator continuity, as exemplified by continuing ownership under ATLAS AIR INC.
