N5227A

The airframe bearing tail number N5227A is a Boeing-built narrow-body freighter constructed in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 32742. It is a conversion of the Boeing Commercial Airplanes model Boeing 737-86N (737-800 BCF) and carries a U.S. civil registration. Ownership is recorded as the corporate trustee BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, an arrangement that is reflected in U.S. registry listings. The airframe’s freighter conversion and corporate trustee ownership are notable elements in its administrative history and commercial positioning.

This airframe is fitted in a freighter configuration as a Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF), with the cabin arranged for cargo operations rather than passenger service. The powerplant combination of 2× CFM International CFM56-7B24 turbofans provides the performance metrics used in planning typical missions for this airframe, including sustained cruise at 523 kts and operational ceilings up to 41,000 ft. With a published range of 2,025 nm, the aircraft is suited to medium-range cargo sectors consistent with the BCF conversion role. Maintenance and operational planning for this particular airframe are informed by its 2004 manufacture date, serial number 32742, and corporate trustee ownership structure in Salt Lake City, UT, US, which influence registry oversight and asset management.

As a member of the Boeing 737-800 series converted to freighter specification, the Boeing 737-86N (737-800 BCF) represented by N5227A combines a 737-800 airframe heritage with cargo-specific outfitting. The combination of a 2,025 nm range, 523 kt cruise speed, and 24,200 lbf thrust per engine positions this airframe within the short- to medium-range cargo niche typical of single-aisle freighter conversions. Resale, maintenance scheduling, and operational deployment considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 2004 manufacture, BCF cabin conversion, and trustee ownership, which collectively shape its utilization and regulatory profile.
