N928AV

The airframe bearing registration N928AV is a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) built in 1991 with serial number 49952. The aircraft was manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (Boeing) and is recorded as being owned by Bank of Utah (Trustee), a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, USA. Operator and base information have not been published in the supplied data. Notable registry actions are not published; condition and valuation details beyond ownership are not published in the available dataset.

The type-certificate configuration for this airframe places it in the single-aisle, five-abreast coach typical cabin family; operator-specific layouts are common, with the supplied range of approximately 150–170 seats aligning with the recorded 155-seat fit for this aircraft. Typical operations for the MD-83 airframe emphasize short- to medium-haul scheduled passenger missions where the aircraft’s 2,500 nm range and 450 kt cruise permit transcontinental sectors within continental regions. Avionics fit and equipment lists for N928AV are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations are those typical to JT8D-powered MD-83s, including life-limited part tracking and checks focused on the two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 engines and older-generation airframe systems.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) occupies a performance niche as a stretched, higher-thrust derivative of the DC-9 family intended for dense short- to medium-range routes. Competing types in secondary-market and regional roles historically included the Boeing 737-300/-400 series and, later, regional jets offering lower crew costs and newer avionics. Demand for late-model MD-80-series airframes like this 1991 example has been driven by lease and corporate-asset managers and is sensitive to engine support availability and airframe fatigue status; resale and continued operation depend on documented maintenance, parts support for the JT8D series, and regulatory considerations for older-model mixed-aisle narrowbodies.
