N280TD

This entry covers airframe tail number N280TD, a 2014-built Gulfstream G280 with manufacturer serial 2061 produced by IAI Ltd. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by COOK CANYON GP LLC, an LLC based in Dallas, TX, US, which has been listed in registry records as the current owner. The aircraft is recorded with a transport-class seating entry of 21 seats in the civil registry, a notation that has influenced its operational and charter classification. No major publicized incidents are recorded in the supplied data; maintenance and condition highlights are not published beyond registry configuration details.

The airframe typically carries a standard executive two-zone interior configuration, commonly outfitted for eight to ten passengers in business use, though registry entries list 21 seats in a transport-class arrangement; forward galley and aft lavatory options are typical for this airframe. The installed avionics suite is PlaneView280, supporting advanced flight management, situational awareness and integrated systems monitoring suitable for both corporate and charter operations. Based on owner location in Dallas, TX, US, typical missions for this airframe include medium‑ to long-range executive transport across domestic and transcontinental routes within its 3,600 nm range and at cruise speeds near 460 kts. Maintenance considerations align with Gulfstream/IAI program practices for the G280 series and the twin Honeywell HTF-derived AS907 engine family.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies a super-midsize performance niche with transcontinental range and high cruise speeds, offering higher cabin performance than many light jets while undercutting larger ultra‑long‑range platforms. Primary competitors in mission and capability include late-model super‑midsize and light-heavy business jets; buyer and charter demand typically targets operators seeking a blend of speed, range and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its 2014 build year, the AS907-2-1G engine type, and registry designation of 21 transport‑class seats, which can affect certification, insurance and operator configuration choices.
