N132SD

This entry covers airframe N132SD, a Gulfstream G-V (Gulfstream V) completed in 1998 with manufacturer serial number 537. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by 342 Ktcd LLC, a corporation based in Austin, TX (TX); this ownership represents the primary recorded corporate custodian in the available data. The aircraft carries a documented market valuation of $10,995,000, reflecting its configuration and avionics fit for long-range executive missions. Maintenance status and detailed life-limited component histories are not published here; notable registry facts include its US registration and corporate ownership in Austin.

This specific Gulfstream G-V is outfitted in a 16-place executive layout comprising a forward four-place divan plus two club seats, a mid-cabin four-place club, and an aft four-place divan plus two club seats, together with forward and aft lavatories and a full aft galley. Avionics on this airframe include Honeywell SPZ/PlaneView (Primus Epic) elements, FMS 6.1, FANS 1/A+, ADS-B Out v2, TCAS 7.1, and SwiftBroadband SATCOM, supporting compliant oceanic and global operations. Typical missions for this configuration would include long-range corporate or VIP transport across intercontinental routings enabled by the 6,500 nm range and high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft. Operator base and dispatch are centered on Austin, TX, consistent with the registered corporate owner; specific charter usage or operator flight schedules are not published.

The Gulfstream G-V family occupies the high-performance long-range business jet niche, offering transoceanic range and high cruise speeds in the late-1990s cohort of large-cabin business aircraft. Competing models in its era and market segment include other long-range bizjets that emphasize speed, altitude capability, and executive cabin comfort. The installed Rolls‑Royce BR710 engines and modern avionics suite (Primus Epic elements, FANS 1/A+) support continued operational relevance, though maintenance, component shop visits, and compliance upgrades influence resale and operating cost considerations. Corporate ownership and the full galley/lavatory executive layout reflect buyer demand for intercontinental executive transport and charter flexibility.
