N218KD

This airframe, N218KD, is a Gulfstream IV built in 1991 with manufacturer's serial number 1164. The airframe is listed as owned by MOJAVE JET LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is US-registered. The type is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet delivered by Gulfstream Aerospace and equipped for executive transport roles. Registry notes identify the current ownership and registration jurisdiction, with standard Gulfstream IV service history and condition items expected for an early-1990s airframe of this serial.

This Gulfstream IV is typically configured with a 13-place executive cabin layout featuring a forward galley, a mid-cabin club seating / conference area, and an aft lavatory, while the aircraft's certified seating is listed as 22. The avionics fit referenced for this airframe aligns with common G-IV suites, including Honeywell SPZ-8000 flight systems, Honeywell Primus 870 weather radar, Honeywell TCAS 2000, and Honeywell MK-V EGPWS, with the specific installed fit noted per listing. Operationally, the aircraft's long-range capability and high cruise speed support transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport and charter missions consistent with corporate operator profiles; routine missions would exploit the 4,220 nm range and high-altitude capability to minimize fuel stops. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow typical Gulfstream IV schedules, with attention to Rolls-Royce Tay engine support and avionics lifecycle upgrades.

The Gulfstream IV family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business-jet niche, offering higher capacity and range compared with mid-size light jets and competing with late-model Bombardier and Dassault long-range types. Buyer and charter demand for early-1990s G-IVs emphasizes cabin comfort, payload-range capability, and the availability of avionics upgrades; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine life cycles, interior refurbishment, and avionics currency relative to modern mandates.
