Avionics fit and detailed interior amenities are Not published; typical mission profiles for this airframe given its 4,220 nm range and 459 kt cruise are transcontinental business flights and medium- to long-range charter sectors. The twin Rolls‑Royce TAY 611-8 engines, each rated at 13,850 lbf, define operational performance and corresponding maintenance cycles; specific maintenance status and unique amenities for this serial 1409 airframe are Not published. Operator base is Not published.

The Gulfstream G-IV SP represented in this airframe occupies a performance niche defined by transcontinental range and a high typical cruise speed, evidenced here by a 4,220 nm range, 459 kt cruise, and 45,000 ft ceiling. With seating for 22, this example emphasizes passenger capacity within the G-IV SP family rather than maximized VIP volume. Market considerations for a year 2000 serial (1409) with a listed value of $4,400,000 include the age-related maintenance and avionics update cycles common to late-model G-IV SPs and the ongoing demand in buyer and charter markets for rugged, long-range fixed-wing multi-engine business transports.
