The MD-82 airframe for N483A conforms to the fixed-wing multi-engine category and, as an MD-82, would typically be configured for short- to medium-haul trunk routes with a single-aisle cabin layout; specific seating configuration for this serial is Not published in the provided data. Avionics fit and interior amenities for this specific aircraft are not listed, so maintenance considerations are limited to engine type and airframe vintage: the twin Pratt & Whitney JT8D-217C engines require type-specific service programs and parts support consistent with late-1980s DC-9 family practice. Typical missions for this registration, given the range and cruise parameters, would be regional charter, corporate transport or short-haul scheduled operations out of a U.S. base under the registered corporate owner.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (DC-9-82) occupies a legacy niche as a short- to medium-range single-aisle airliner derived from the DC-9 family, offering cruise speeds around 485 kts and operational ceilings near 37,000 ft. In the secondary market the MD-82 competes with similar-era narrowbodies and older Boeing 737 Classic variants; maintenance, parts availability and JT8D engine support are primary considerations for buyers and charters. Resale considerations for this airframe hinge on its 1988 manufacture date, specific configuration and the ongoing availability of service documentation and aftermarket support.
