N1799C

This article covers airframe N1799C, a factory-built Gulfstream G550 (GV-SP) delivered in 2006 with manufacturer's serial number 5128. The type was manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace and is registered in the US; current recorded owner is corporate operator CARUSO DEVELOPMENT CO LLC, based in Los Angeles, CA, US. The airframe is notable for its corporate ownership and sits within the large-cabin, long‑range business jet fleet; latest valuation on record is $18,000,000. No publicly noted major registry changes beyond the current corporate ownership are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin is fitted in a typical executive configuration accommodating 14–19 passengers as the standard customer completion for the G550, while the specific seating on this airframe is noted as 20. Avionics on N1799C are listed as PlaneView / Honeywell Primus Epic, supporting integrated flight management and long‑range operational capability. Operated from the owner’s base in Los Angeles, CA, US, the aircraft’s range of 6,750 nm and cruise speed of 488 kts make it suitable for transcontinental and many intercontinental executive missions without frequent enroute stops. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with high‑time Rolls‑Royce BR700/BR710 powerplant care and factory‑recommended inspections; corporate ownership suggests centralized, operator‑managed maintenance programs.

The Gulfstream G550 (GV-SP) occupies the long‑range large‑cabin niche, offering transoceanic capability and a high service ceiling of 51,000 ft, which supports favorable fuel burn and time‑saving cruise profiles. Primary competitors include other long‑range business jets in its class, and buyer or charter demand typically favors airframes with comprehensive avionics suites such as PlaneView / Honeywell Primus Epic and low localized maintenance risk. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 2006 build year, Rolls‑Royce BR700/BR710 engines, and the corporate ownership structure of CARUSO DEVELOPMENT CO LLC, factors that influence marketability and ongoing operational costs.
