N283BA

This entry covers airframe N283BA, a Gulfstream G280 built in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 2090 by IAI Ltd. The aircraft is owned by FCI AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Pittsburgh, PA, US, and is U.S. registered. The current operator/home base is recorded as Pittsburgh, and the airframe carries a market valuation of $13,896,616. No other prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions are documented in the provided data.

The aircraft is a Gulfstream G280 configured with a typical executive cabin used in charter service, generally arranged in an 8–10 place layout for executive operations while FAA certification lists 21 seats under transport/utility certification. Avionics are installed as Gulfstream PlaneView280 — noted commercially as PlaneView280™ — supporting modern flight deck functionality consistent with the model. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium‑range business and charter operations within the continental U.S. and trans‑Caribbean or trans‑Mexico flights given its 3,600 nm range and high‑speed cruise capability. Based at Pittsburgh, the operator likely conducts point‑to‑point corporate and charter services; maintenance considerations align with twin HTF7250G engine support and Gulfstream well‑established component and avionics supply chains.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super‑midsize, high‑performance business jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range and cabin comfort. Its twin Honeywell HTF7250G engines provide robust cruise speed of 459 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, positioning it against competitors in the super‑midsize segment. Buyer and charter demand typically target operators seeking high speed and longer regional reach without moving to ultra‑long‑range types; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine time management, avionics refurbishment cycles for the PlaneView280 suite, and adherence to Gulfstream/IAI maintenance programs.
