N795FM

This airframe, registered as N795FM, is an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI 1124 Westwind I completed in 1978 with serial number 228. The airframe is listed as owned by CYPRESS AIRCRAFT SALES LLC, an LLC based in Clermont, FL, US, and carries United States registration. Appearing on retrofit and sales listings with avionics upgrades reported, the airframe’s described condition and equipment have been highlighted in those entries but no independent valuation is provided in the supplied data. The aircraft’s operator/home-base activity is centered on the owner’s Florida location as the recorded point of contact.

The cabin of this specific Westwind is described in an executive 8–10 place layout, typically fitted with a forward three-place divan and a single seat forward of an aft four-place club, though exact configuration can be operator-dependent. Reported avionics fittings on retrofit listings include Collins radios and sensors alongside a Global GNS-XLS GPS and Bendix/King IHAS TAWS/TCAS, indicating contemporary navigation and traffic/terrain awareness capabilities where retrofits have been installed. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type and equipment set include short- to medium-range executive transport and charter operations out of its Florida base, leveraging its cruise speed and range for efficient regional point-to-point routing. Maintenance considerations follow twin-turbofan schedules and parts support paths for Garrett/Honeywell TFE731 engines and Israel Aircraft Industries airframe items.

The IAI 1124 Westwind I occupies a performance niche as a compact light business jet with higher cruise speed and altitude capability relative to early generation light twins, offering up to 45,000 ft ceiling and a cruise near 424 kts. Competing models in its era and market position include other late-1970s/light-cabin business jets with similar twin-fan performance characteristics. Buyer and charter demand for this model typically focuses on cost-effective operation, available aftermarket avionics retrofits, and engine maintenance histories; resale considerations hinge on documented upgrades such as the reported Collins/GNS-XLS/Bendix-King avionics fits and the condition of the TFE731-3 series powerplants.
