N148LJ

This entry describes airframe N148LJ, a factory-built Gulfstream GVII‑G600 delivered in 2019 with serial number 73013. The aircraft is recorded as owned by WILLY AVIATION LLC (an LLC based in Chicago, IL, US), and is registered in the United States on the FAA registry. Broker listings and registry records show a notable discrepancy in passenger configuration—brokers describe a 14‑passenger executive fit while the FAA registry lists 9 seats—an ownership/registry detail relevant to charter and resale documentation.

The airframe is fitted in an executive cabin layout, with broker listings describing a 14‑passenger configuration that includes a forward galley and crew rest, while the FAA registry formally records a nine‑seat installation; this dual reporting can affect charter manifesting and insurance limits. Avionics are the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck™ (Symmetry Flight Deck) suite, supporting advanced flight-deck automation and pilot workload reduction typical of the GVII series. With a 6,600 nm range, high cruise speed of 488 kts and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, the aircraft’s typical mission profile on this registration would encompass long‑range intercontinental point‑to‑point operations from its owner’s Chicago base and other U.S. hubs. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would center on its twin PW815GA engines and adherence to Gulfstream support schedules; the seating discrepancy should also be reconciled for operational compliance.

As a member of the Gulfstream GVII‑G600 family, serial 73013 embodies the platform’s long‑range, high‑speed and high‑altitude performance characteristics as evidenced by its 6,600 nm range, 488 kts cruise and 51,000 ft ceiling. These performance parameters position the airframe for premium corporate and charter missions that demand transcontinental or transoceanic capability. Resale and charter-market considerations specific to this aircraft include its documented seating variance between broker marketing and FAA registry and the importance of documented maintenance on its Pratt & Whitney Canada PW815GA engines and Symmetry Flight Deck avionics.
