Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered N231CE, is a 2009-built Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) with manufacturer's serial number 5232. It is listed in U.S. registration as owned by TVPX ARS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, Utah, and the registry shows an executive long‑range interior fit configured with 20 seats. The aircraft is powered by a twin Rolls‑Royce installation and equipped with Gulfstream avionics; official records indicate standard long‑range certification and typical high‑utilization asset condition for a 2009 Gulfstream of this serial. Ownership is corporate and based in North Salt Lake, UT, with no additional publicized changes in registries provided here.
The airframe carries an Executive long‑range layout, described in type documentation as typical for a 14–18 passenger executive fit, while the registry for this aircraft shows 20 seats, indicating a denser certification or seating arrangement on record. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting long‑range flight operations and modern cockpit functionality consistent with Gulfstream service protocols. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type and configuration include intercontinental corporate transport, private executive travel, and transoceanic positioning flights enabled by its 6,750 nm range and high flight ceiling. As a corporate‑owned asset registered in the U.S., maintenance and operational scheduling would align with both Gulfstream heavy maintenance cycles and Rolls‑Royce BR710 support requirements.
The Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) family occupies a long‑range, large‑cabin niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental reach for corporate and charter operators; this airframe benefits from that performance envelope with a 6,750 nm range and a 51,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the same market band include other long‑range business jets from Gulfstream and rival manufacturers; resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on engine program status (Rolls‑Royce BR710), avionics lifecycle (PlaneView upgrades), and interior configuration differences such as the registry‑noted 20 seats versus typical executive fits. Buyer and charter demand for late‑2000s G550s remains linked to maintenance history, avionics upgrades, and cabin refurbishment status.
