N729CA

This article covers the specific Boeing 747-412 airframe registered as N729CA, constructor serial number 25068, built in 1991. The airframe is owned by AC SPE 6 LLC (a corporation) with a registered location in Orlando, FL, US, and it carries a United States registration. The airplane was converted to a freighter configuration and is described as a Converted freighter (BCF) — cargo configuration, no passenger cabin; this conversion to cargo duties is the defining change in its operational history. Registry and valuation details beyond ownership and configuration are not published.

The airframe operates as a converted freighter (BCF) with a cargo-only cabin layout and no passenger accommodation, reflecting a role focused on bulk air freight and palletized cargo movement. Avionics fit and specific interior cargo handling equipment are not published for this individual aircraft; maintenance considerations therefore hinge on typical 747-400 series freighter systems and the documented PW4056 engines. With a long-range capability of 7,262 nm and a cruise speed around 490 kts, the aircraft is suitable for intercontinental cargo sectors and long-haul routing from its owner’s base in Orlando, FL, US or other major cargo hubs. Regular heavy maintenance and structural inspections are implied by the type and the aircraft’s age.

The Boeing 747-412 airframe is part of the 747-400 family, positioned in the heavy freighter niche for high-capacity, long-range cargo operations. Its four PW4056 engines provide robust thrust for large payloads and long sectors, competing functionally with other heavy freighters in secondary market and charter demand. Buyer and operator considerations for this specific airframe include lifecycle maintenance of an early-1990s airframe, freighter conversion status, engine hours and cycles on the PW4000-94 family, and resale prospects tied to global freight demand and parts availability.
