N215BB

This entry covers airframe N215BB, a Gulfstream G-V built in 2000 with serial number 610. The aircraft is owned and operated by BL CHARTER LLC, an LLC based in Pittsfield, MA, US, and is registered in the US. Public operator listings and registry records indicate it operates from its Pittsfield home base under corporate/charter use; its market valuation is listed at $9,500,000, reflecting a late-model G‑V in active executive service.

The cabin on N215BB is fitted in an executive layout commonly seen on G‑V airframes; while Gulfstream nominally supports 12–16 passengers in business configurations, operator listings for this specific aircraft show a 16‑place configuration with an aft galley and an enclosed lavatory. The installed avionics suite commonly fitted across the G‑V fleet and referenced for this airframe includes Honeywell SPX‑8500 upgrades and PlaneDeck DU‑885 displays, modernizing flightdeck functionality and situational awareness for long-range charter missions. Typical missions for this airframe include transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport within the aircraft’s approximately 6,500 nm ferry/range capability, operating from its Pittsfield base for corporate or charter assignments. Maintenance considerations align with BR700‑series engine support and Gulfstream heavy-check cycles typical for the model year and serial group.

The Gulfstream G-V family occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high cruise speeds near 459 kts and service ceilings up to 51,000 ft. Competitors in this performance band include late-model large-cabin types from Bombardier and Dassault. For buyers and charter operators, considerations include lifecycle maintenance of BR710 engines, avionics upgrade status (such as SPX‑8500/DU‑885 fits), and resale liquidity; the listed value of $9,500,000 situates this airframe within the pre‑owned long‑range market for early‑2000s Gulfstream G‑V examples.
