N481NS

This entry covers a single airframe, the business jet registered as N481NS, an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI-1124 Westwind (Westwind I) delivered in 1982 with serial number 378. The airframe is recorded as owned by JP Flying LLC (a corporation) and carries US registration; further details on operational base or historical operators are not published. No specific notable registry actions are available in the provided data; the airframe is currently attributed a market value of $400,000, a figure that reflects its age and configuration rather than recent transactional history. Condition highlights beyond build year and valuation are not published.

The airframe carries a typical executive club seating arrangement described for the type as accommodating 7–9 passengers with 2 crew, while the specific seating count for this airframe is listed as 8. No detailed avionics fit or individual equipment list is provided; therefore routine mission profiles for this airframe are inferred from the type’s capability—short to medium international business flights within a maximum range of 2,390 nm at cruise speeds near 424 kts and operational ceilings up to 45,000 ft. The corporate owner designation (JP Flying LLC) indicates operation under private or corporate flight rules consistent with US registration, but specific base, routes, or unique amenity packages for this particular aircraft are not published. Maintenance considerations for this airframe are governed by the age (built 1982) and the TFE731 powerplants, which are typical service items for operators of the model.

The IAI-1124 Westwind (Westwind I) occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche characterized by relatively high cruise speeds and transcontinental capability for its era, driven by twin TFE731 turbofan engines producing 3,700 lbf each. Competing models historically include early-generation light jets and small midsize business aircraft offering similar range and cabin layouts. Buyer and charter demand for individual airframes of this vintage tends to focus on cost-sensitive operators and collectors; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 1982 airframe are influenced by its age, the availability of parts and overhaul history, and the recorded market valuation of $400,000.
