Model & Market Context

This airframe, registration N1979L, is a 2002-built Gulfstream G-IV (G-IVSP), serial number 1480, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by MGA SPA LLC, a corporation based in Chatsworth, CA, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry actions include the current corporate ownership record showing MGA SPA LLC as the registered owner; the airframe carries a market valuation of $5,800,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

The cabin for this specific G-IV is fitted in a typical executive configuration with a 12–14 place forward-focused layout including a forward galley, a forward crew area, and an aft lavatory, while the type certificate allows operations certificated up to 22 seats. Exact avionics fit for this airframe is not published; typical G-IV avionics suites include Collins Pro Line or Honeywell SPZ-series variants. Operational use for this corporate-owned aircraft from Chatsworth, CA would commonly include long-range executive missions enabled by the 4,220 nm range and a cruise speed of 460 kts, with routine operations and maintenance shaped by the twin Rolls‑Royce Tay 611-8 engines.

As a member of the Gulfstream G-IV family, this Gulfstream G-IV (G-IVSP) airframe pairs long-range capability and high cruise speed—evident in its 4,220 nm range and 460 kts cruise—with certification to high seating counts (up to 22). The 2002 build year and the listed valuation of $5,800,000 are primary considerations for buyers and operators evaluating maintenance history, engine programs, and resale prospects for an older, large-cabin business jet.
