N31GV

This airframe, registered as N31GV, is a Gulfstream G-IV built in 1988 with manufacturer serial number 1084. The airframe is listed as owned by AIRCRAFT FIDELITY CORP TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Dover, DE, US), and current documentation ties operations and registry to the United States. There are no publicly listed alternate operators or historic corporate operators in the supplied data; recorded ownership is by AIRCRAFT FIDELITY CORP TRUSTEE. The airframe’s condition and market standing are summarized with an appraised value of $1,600,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

The cabin is certificated for 22 seats, while typical executive layouts for this airframe commonly seat approximately 12–14 passengers, indicating modifications or flexible interior configurations are typical for business use. The aircraft’s long-range capability of 4,200 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts support transcontinental and transoceanic executive missions consistent with Gulfstream G‑IV operational profiles. As currently registered in the US and owned from Dover, DE, US, routine operations and maintenance would be governed by US regulatory and maintenance standards applicable to fixed-wing multi-engine transport-category business jets. Given the twin Rolls‑Royce TAY 611‑8 engines and the airframe’s age, maintenance considerations would typically focus on engine module overhaul cycles and airframe inspections appropriate to a late‑1980s build.

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies a long-range large-cabin business-jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental range supported by twin Rolls‑Royce turbofans. Typical market competition includes other late‑generation large-cabin business jets; demand for older G‑IVs is driven by their cabin size and range relative to acquisition and operating costs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 1988 manufacture date, certified seating capacity, and the cost profile of maintaining two TAY 611‑8 engines, factors that likely influence its published valuation of $1,600,000.
