N230BD

This airframe, registered as N230BD, is a 2006 Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) with manufacturer serial number 5115. The aircraft is owned by GLOBAL PURSUITS LLC, a New York, NY–based limited liability company, and is U.S.-registered. Built by Gulfstream Aerospace, the airframe presents as a mature mid‑2000s long‑range business jet with an assessed market value of $16,900,000 and retains configuration and performance characteristics typical of Gulfstream G550s of its vintage. No additional notable registry actions are published beyond its current ownership and U.S. registration.

The cabin completion for this airframe follows the executive G550 approach and is described as an owner‑specific finish within the typical configuration envelope of 14–20 passengers, usually incorporating a forward galley, multiple club and cabin zones, and aft baggage; the exact on‑board finish is owner‑specified. Avionics are of the Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView family in typical fit, supporting advanced flight management and situational awareness for long overwater and transcontinental missions. Operated by a New York–based LLC, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with cross‑continent and intercontinental corporate transport, leveraging the G550’s long range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations align with mid‑2000s G550 practices, including attention to engine shop visits for the Rolls‑Royce BR710 C4‑11 and avionics lifecycle management for the Primus Epic suite.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) occupies a long‑range, high‑speed niche among large cabin business jets, offering transoceanic capability and 51,000 ft service ceilings. Comparable competitors include other large‑cabin, long‑range platforms from Bombardier and Dassault; buyer and charter demand for well‑maintained G550s remains steady owing to their proven performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2006 serial 5115 airframe reflect typical lifecycle costs: engine program participation, scheduled maintenance events, and avionics upgrades to maintain marketability; its $16.9M valuation positions it as a mature, value‑oriented entry in the long‑range used business jet market.
