N65SL

This airframe, registered as N65SL, is a Rockwell NA-265-65 Sabreliner 65 built in 1981, serial 465-57. The current owner is STEWART AVIATION SERVICES LLC, an Alabama-based limited liability company listed in Birmingham, AL, US, and the registry indicates US registration. The listing and registry entries note a 12-seat certification and seller-provided images that show an executive cabin fit in the aircraft; avionics are described in the listing as having Garmin upgrades (specific models not listed). The airframe is presented with an estimated market value of $595,000, with condition and equipment reflected in the seller’s listing rather than an independent appraisal.

The registry lists 12 seats for this airframe, though typical executive layouts vary by refit and the seller’s images show an executive cabin configuration consistent with corporate transport missions. Avionics in the listing are described as Garmin upgrades; the seller does not publish specific model numbers, so exact panel capability should be confirmed against logs and inspection records. With a long-range capability of 2,300 nm and a high cruise speed near 436 kts, this airframe is suited to transcontinental and regional executive transport, medical evacuation, or high-speed charter operations from its Birmingham, AL base. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft will follow Sabreliner airframe and Garrett TFE731 engine programs and should be verified against the aircraft logbooks.

The Rockwell NA-265-65 Sabreliner 65 occupies a mid-size business jet niche for operators seeking a high-speed, high-altitude platform with moderate seating capacity. Competing models in the vintage mid-size class often include other 1970s–1980s designs retrofitted with modern avionics; buyer and charter demand for such examples depends heavily on updated avionics, interior condition, and engine maintenance status. Resale value and operational cost considerations for this airframe center on remaining calendar life for engines and avionics upgrades, interior refit history, and completeness of documented maintenance records.
