N83MD

This entry describes a single British Aerospace HS 125-700A airframe registered as N83MD, built in 1980 and carrying serial number NA0286. The aircraft is recorded as owned by FIELDING WILLIAM, an individual based in Delray Beach, Florida, United States, which represents the most notable ownership data on file. The airframe is registered in the US and has been valued at $425,000, reflecting its age, configuration and reported avionics retrofit. No earlier or subsequent registry events are published beyond the current ownership and registration details.

The airframe is certificated with a registry cabin rating of 15 seats but is commonly fitted in a 6–8 place executive layout for business or private transport missions; this particular unit’s registry shows the 15-seat configuration while reports note common executive reconfigurations. A Collins ProLine avionics suite is reported as a retrofit/fitment, indicating modernization of flight and navigation systems relative to original production standards. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type and fitted equipment include medium-range business travel and charter operations between regional airports, leveraging its 2,330 nm range and 424 kt cruise speed from the owner’s base in Delray Beach, FL. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect its 1980 build year, twin TFE731 turbofans and any modifications associated with the Collins ProLine retrofit.

The HS 125-700A occupies a mid-size business jet niche characterized by moderate range and higher cruise speeds for its class, competing historically with contemporaries offering similar passenger counts and transregional capability. Demand in the used market tends to hinge on avionics upgrades, engine TBO status and interior reconfiguration; this airframe’s reported Collins ProLine fitment and executive cabin potential are positive factors against its 1980 vintage. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft include airframe age, parts availability for British Aerospace-era components, and the service history of the Garrett/Honeywell TFE731-3 engines, all of which influence valuation and operator interest.
