IAI Westwind I Enters The BAS Turbine Shop For Component Recovery

Posted by Clinton McJenkin on Jul 5th 2026

A 1981 IAI 1124 Westwind I is now in the BAS turbine shop for disassembly, bringing a documented business jet with TFE731-3-1G engines, Garmin and Collins avionics, cabin equipment, and system-level parts into the recovery pipeline. This aircraft carries the kind of turbine inventory that matters to operators and shops: avionics, autopilot and flight director components, environmental equipment, landing gear hardware, flight controls, cabin seating, and airframe parts. The aircraft’s flying chapter has closed, but the useful components are not done working. BAS will catalog, photograph, price, and list the recoverable parts as they move through the shop.

IAI 1124 Westwind I Enters BAS Turbine Disassembly

Some jets do not need a modern panel glow or a brand-new paint scheme to matter.

The IAI 1124 Westwind I belongs to a generation of business aircraft built around useful speed, real cabin space, and systems that expected to work for a living. This was not a touchscreen-era airplane trying to impress a camera. It was a twin-engine turbine business jet built with structure, systems, switches, relays, plumbing, wiring, cabin hardware, and enough avionics depth to keep a parts department interested.

Now this 1981 IAI 1124 Westwind I is in the BAS turbine shop for disassembly. The aircraft is done flying as a complete machine, but the useful components still have work ahead.

NEW ARRIVAL IN THE BAS TURBINE HANGAR

IAI 1124 Westwind I In Disassembly:

Old-School Business Jet. Real Systems Depth.

The Westwind I sits in the practical side of turbine aircraft support. It is not simple, and that is exactly why the recovery matters.

A turbine aircraft like this carries value across more than one shelf. The obvious pieces get attention first: avionics, engine-related components, landing gear, cabin seating, and flight controls. But the deeper value often lives in the systems that keep an older business jet supportable: wiring, switches, indicators, hydraulic components, oxygen equipment, environmental hardware, control rods, actuators, lighting, panels, doors, latches, trim pieces, and the aircraft-specific hardware that shops are usually trying to find five minutes after they needed it.

That is the point of a proper BAS turbine disassembly. Recover the useful components, identify them clearly, photograph the actual parts, price them upfront, and get them back into circulation for the owners, operators, and maintenance shops keeping the remaining fleet moving.

Parts Recovery Moving Through The BAS Turbine Shop

As this IAI 1124 Westwind I moves through BAS disassembly, recoverable components will be removed, identified, photographed, priced, and listed as traceable as-removed inventory.

Not every component will be listed at the same time. Turbine disassembly moves in stages, and the good stuff does not wait around once it hits the store. If you support the Westwind fleet or maintain aircraft with overlapping avionics, engine, or system needs, this is the kind of inventory to watch early.

IAI 1124 Westwind:

A Documented Airframe With A Useful Map

The source packet identifies this aircraft as a 1981 IAI 1124 Westwind I, serial number 312, with 9,465.1 total airframe hours and 5,890 landings noted in the maintenance status sheet.

That matters.

Records do not make parts better by magic, but they do help BAS identify, organize, and catalog components with more confidence. This aircraft arrived with nine airframe logbooks and a bin of additional paperwork and binders. For the shop, that is not just history. It is a map.

The engine information in the packet identifies Honeywell TFE731-3-1G engines, with the left engine listed as serial number 77367 at 9,214.9 total time and 5,540 cycles, and the right engine listed as serial number 77369 at 9,474.1 total time and 5,861 cycles. BAS will handle the parts language carefully as components are removed and listed. The useful point for buyers is simple: this airframe brings documented turbine systems into the BAS inventory pipeline.

IAI 1124 Westwind:

The Panel Has Plenty To Say

The avionics and cockpit equipment list is where this Westwind starts sounding less like an old jet and more like a useful source aircraft.

The packet notes a Garmin GTN 750, Garmin 530W, Garmin GTX 345, Collins AP-105 autopilot, dual Collins HSI units, dual Collins FD-109 flight directors, dual Collins RMIs, Honeywell GNS-XLS FMS, IDC altitude alerter, IAI fuel status indicator, Collins ProLine II tuning heads, 3M WX-1000 Stormscope, TCAS 1, ACK ELT, TAWS B, dual Sperry gyros, RCA Primus 400 color radar, cockpit voice recorder, Collins HF 220, dual Collins DME 40 units, and Collins ADF 60A equipment.

That is not one part category. That is a panel, avionics rack, and instrument system story.

For Westwind operators and shops supporting older turbine equipment, avionics and instrument components can be the difference between a long hunt and a grounded airplane getting attention. BAS will not overstate condition, and each listing will stand on its own details. But as-removed avionics with traceability, actual photos, and clear listing information still matter in this market.

Cabin, Comfort, And The Parts People Forget Until They Need Them

The cabin matters too.

This aircraft is listed with nine-passenger seating: a three-place forward divan, four-place club seating, a belted lav, and an aft chair. The interior notes call out beige leather seating, complementary sidewall fabric, real wood veneer with a high-gloss finish, a cockpit camera display to a cabin monitor, Sony CD/DVD/flatscreen equipment, and six-place wireless headsets.

Cabin components do not always get the same attention as avionics or engines, but anyone maintaining older business aircraft knows better. Seats, bases, side panels, cabinetry, trim, latches, placards, lighting, monitors, tables, lav parts, hardware, and interior detail pieces can become some of the most irritating parts to chase.

This is where an aircraft like the Westwind keeps being useful. The passengers may be done riding in it as one complete airplane, but the cabin still has a parts job ahead.

The Mission Has Changed

The useful part of this aircraft is not ending in the turbine shop.

It is changing format.

A complete airplane becomes organized inventory. Logbooks and paperwork become cataloging support. Avionics, cabin parts, engine-related components, system hardware, and airframe pieces move from one aircraft into the hands of people keeping others flying.

That is BAS work at its best. Respect the aircraft, recover the useful components, document them clearly, and put the parts back where they can do some good.

This Westwind I is not finished. It is being reassigned.
