N176SM

This write-up covers airframe N176SM, a production Gulfstream built in 2001 with serial number 637. The aircraft is a Gulfstream G-V manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and is recorded as owned by MASSMUTUAL ASSET FINANCE LLC, a corporate registrant based in Foxborough, MA, US. The airframe is registered in the US and has an estimated market valuation of $9,800,000 in available listings. No public record of multiple ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond the corporate registration is provided in the supplied data.

The subject G‑V is typically outfitted in a 14‑place executive cabin configuration in published listings for this airframe, described as forward single seats, a mid‑cabin divan opposite singles, and an aft four‑place conference group, with a forward crew lavatory and an aft full galley. Avionics reported for the airframe include a baseline Honeywell SPZ‑8500 suite, with some listings noting Honeywell Primus/DU‑885 upgrades as fit options on this specific serial. Range and cruise performance—6,500 nm and 459 kts respectively—align the airframe for long‑range corporate missions such as transcontinental and transoceanic charter or owner‑flown operations, typically operated from its corporate base in Massachusetts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow BR710 engine program schedules and Gulfstream G‑V structural and systems calendars; specific maintenance status is not published in the supplied data.

The Gulfstream G‑V family occupies a high‑performance ultra‑long‑range executive transport niche, offering transoceanic capability and high cruise speed for up to 20 certified seats though common executive interiors are smaller. Competing models in the period and market include late‑model Bombardier and Dassault long‑range types. Buyer and charter demand for G‑V airframes typically focuses on proven long‑range performance, cabin comfort and avionics modernization—factors that affect resale value and maintenance investment for a 2001‑built airframe like N176SM.
