N396NS

This airframe, registered as N396NS, is a 1999-built Gulfstream G-IV with serial number 1395. It is owned by CDR-N396NS LLC, an entity based in Miami, Florida, United States, which appears as the registered owner on public records. No public record of a change of ownership or major registry actions beyond the LLC registration was published for this tail. There is no publicly available, recent valuation or formal condition report for this specific airframe.

The airframe is commonly configured in an executive cabin layout; while Gulfstream G‑IVs typically are fitted for about 14 executive passengers, the registry for N396NS lists a 22-seat configuration that can be used for higher-density arrangements. Older G‑IVs frequently carry Honeywell SPZ series avionics (SPZ‑8000 / SPZ‑8400), but the specific avionics fitment for N396NS is not published in the FAA summary. Typical mission profiles for this G‑IV airframe include long-range executive transport and transcontinental or transoceanic charter flights within the aircraft’s ~4,220 nm capability, operating from an owner/operator base in the Miami, Florida area. Maintenance considerations for late‑1990s G‑IVs focus on aging-system inspections, life‑limited component tracking, and potential avionics upgrades where the operator elects to modernize the flight deck.

The Gulfstream G‑IV family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business-jet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with comfortable executive interiors. Competing models historically include late-model Bombardier Challengers and early Global Express variants for similar range and cabin size. Buyer and charter demand for a 1999 G‑IV depends on condition, avionics standardization, and maintenance history; resale considerations for N396NS would center on potential required avionics upgrades and component life‑cycle items common to aircraft of this vintage.
