N30GD

The airframe bearing tail number N30GD is a Gulfstream G-IV built in 1993, serial 1228, and currently registered in the United States. The aircraft is registered to CAROL CITY AIR LLC of Hialeah, FL, a corporate owner listed on the US registry. Registry entries identify the airframe as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet with a reported market valuation of $3,395,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and equipment fit. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data.

This specific Gulfstream G-IV is described with a typical executive cabin layout and broker listings report configurations accommodating 12–15 passengers in practice, despite a certified seating count of 22; the interior is arranged in three cabin zones with a forward galley and an aft lavatory. Avionics fit includes a Collins Pro Line 4 suite with a Honeywell NZ-2000 FMS (software 6.1), and communications/navigation capabilities reported as ADS‑B Out plus CPDLC / FANS‑1A capability in broker listings. Typical missions for this aircraft type and equipment fit would include long-range executive transport and corporate shuttle operations from its operator base in South Florida, leveraging the G-IV’s high cruise speed and transcontinental range. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe are influenced by its early-1990s build year, Rolls‑Royce TAY turbofans, and the avionics modernity noted in listings.

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies a large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability at high cruise speeds and mid‑40,000 ft ceilings. Competitors in this segment historically include other large-cabin business jets with similar range and passenger accommodations. Buyer and charter demand for airframes of this vintage is driven by interior configuration, engine program status, and avionics capability; the presence of Collins Pro Line 4 and FANS-capable communications can favor continued operational utility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on age-related refurbishment needs and the ongoing serviceability of the Rolls‑Royce TAY engine type.
