N462CM

This entry covers airframe N462CM, a long-range widebody built in 1994 with manufacturer serial number 26985. The airframe is a Boeing 767-300ER produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes, and it is currently held by owned by CARGO AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT INC, a corporation based in Wilmington, OH, US. The type is registered in the United States under registration US and has been configured for high-capacity, extended-range operations. The aircraft’s condition has supported continued commercial cargo and charter utility consistent with its era and mission profile; notable registry actions include active maintenance and standard US civil registry renewals.

As a single-instance entry, N462CM reflects the typical 767-300ER cabin density with 290 seats in mixed or high-density layouts; this permits flexible reconfiguration for passenger, combi, or freighter conversions depending on operator need. The airframe’s dual Pratt & Whitney PW4060 engines deliver the thrust required for transcontinental and intercontinental stages up to its published 6,110 nm range while maintaining cruise speeds near 459 kts and service ceilings to 43,100 ft. Based from Wilmington, OH, US under corporate ownership, the operational profile emphasizes long-haul trunk routes, ad hoc charter services, or conversion to cargo duty, with maintenance considerations focused on aging airframe systems and engine life limits typical of 1990s-built widebodies. Avionics fitment for the specific airframe is consistent with fleet-standard retrofit options for the type and would be addressed during scheduled checks.

The Boeing 767-300ER occupies a niche as a medium-widebody long-range twin, balancing payload and range for transoceanic missions. Competing aircraft historically include variants of the Airbus A300/A330 families and later twin-aisle freighter conversions. Demand remains steady among cargo operators and supplemental passenger carriers seeking lower acquisition cost per seat-mile for long sectors. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial and year focus on airframe fatigue life, potential freighter conversion economics, and availability of serviceable PW4060 components as the platform ages.
