This entry covers airframe N252DV, a Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 5463. The aircraft is owned by G550 AVIATION LLC, a limited liability company based in Grand Rapids, MI, US, and is registered in the United States. Notable registry actions: Not published. The airframe's listed market valuation is $23,995,000, reflecting its late-model build year, two‑engine configuration and executive transport outfitting.

The cabin on this specific Gulfstream GV‑SP is noted as a 20-seat transport layout, while the model typically accommodates an executive fit of 14–18 passengers; the on‑type configuration allows flexibility for high‑density transport missions or conversion to an executive interior. Avionics are listed as Gulfstream PlaneView (Honeywell/PlaneView family), providing integrated flightdeck systems consistent with long‑range operational profiles. Typical missions for this airframe, given its certified range of 6,750 nm and cruise speed of 488 kts, include intercontinental nonstop transport and corporate shuttle services; the operating base is inferred from the owner’s location in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow Gulfstream and Rolls‑Royce recommended programs for the BR710 C4‑11 engines and avionics support under the PlaneView suite.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) occupies a long‑range, large‑cabin niche among purpose‑built business jets, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and long‑range cruise performance. Primary competition in its class includes other ultra‑long‑range business jets; buyers often prioritize range, cabin capacity and avionics maturity — attributes reflected in this airframe’s 20‑seat configuration and PlaneView fit. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (5463) center on age (2014 build), lifecycle status of BR710 engines and documented avionics standardization, factors that support the listed valuation of $23,995,000.
