This specific G650ER is reported to employ a forward galley and forward crew rest floorplan, with broker and listing references noting 15-passenger fitted layouts though the type design can be certified to higher counts depending on the interior fit. Avionics for this airframe are listed as Gulfstream PlaneView II with block/batch upgrades reported and Block 3 specifically noted in multiple listings, reflecting contemporary navigation and situational awareness capabilities. Typical missions for this long-range airframe include intercontinental executive transport and high-end charter operations out of its Atlanta operator base, exploiting the model’s extended-range capability. Operational considerations for this individual aircraft include management of long-range systems and the integration of updated avionics software and hardware as documented in sales and listing records.
The Gulfstream G650ER family occupies the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic range and high cruise speeds compared with competing large-cabin types. Against rivals, its combination of a high 51,000 ft service ceiling, long-range capability of 7,500 nm and a cruise speed of 488 kts underpins continued charter and owner-operator demand. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the impact of avionics upgrades, interior configuration flexibility (notably certifiable passenger counts), and market appetite for well-documented, updated G650ER examples.
