N119FM

This entry covers the specific Gulfstream IV-SP airframe registered as N119FM, built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 1464. The aircraft is recorded as owned by M & K AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Flower Mound, TX, US, and operates under the United States civil registry. Registration records list the airframe with a 22-seat configuration despite common VIP conversions reducing seating capacity, and no public valuation or condition summary is published for this specific airframe. The airframe’s documentation reflects standard Gulfstream IV-SP lineage and aftermarket avionics/STC upgrades rather than any widely reported extraordinary incidents or transfers.

The aircraft is outfitted in an Executive VIP layout, with sources noting a typical 12–13 passenger VIP fit while registration lists 22 seats, indicating this airframe may retain a higher-density certificated interior or have been documented that way for regulatory purposes. Avionics and connectivity equipment associated with this airframe include ADS‑B V2, FANS 1/A+ installed via a Gulfstream STC, WAAS/LPV capability, and an Avance L5 Wi‑Fi system as listed by brokers. Typical mission profiles for this airframe align with transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport, leveraging a 4,220 nm range and high-speed cruise of 459 kts from its operator base in the Dallas–Fort Worth region. Maintenance and operational considerations follow Gulfstream IV‑class practices, with attention to Tay 611 series engine support and avionics STC compliance.

The Gulfstream G‑IV (Gulfstream IV‑SP) family occupies a long-range large-cabin business jet niche, valued for a combination of speed, range, and cabin comfort appropriate for executive and charter operators. Competing models in its era include late-model large-cabin offerings from Bombardier and Dassault; buyers and charter customers often prioritize outfitting, connectivity, and engine/avionics commonality. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the Tay 611 engine support lifecycle, the presence of avionics upgrades (notably FANS 1/A+ and WAAS/LPV), and the disparity between certificated seating (22) and typical VIP fitouts when appraising market value or configuration conversion costs.
