N400FJ

The airframe bearing registration N400FJ is a 2002-built Gulfstream IV-SP (G-IV) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, constructor serial 1494. It is owned by PTJ ASSOCIATES LLC, an LLC based in South Pasadena, CA, US, and carries a United States registration. The registry for this specific aircraft lists 22 seats, although the model commonly operates in executive configurations; current sale data and valuation indicate a market value of $5,995,000 and a fixed-wing multi-engine category designation. Notable administrative entries include the US registration and the recorded seating count in the registry, which contrast with typical executive fits.

This Gulfstream IV-SP is fitted in an executive cabin layout with the typical 12–14 passenger executive fit noted for the model, while the registry explicitly records 22 seats; the installed cabin features a forward crew refreshment area, an aft galley, a forward crew lavatory and an aft passenger lavatory. Avionics are centered on a Honeywell SPZ-8400 IFCS with Honeywell CD-830 touchscreen CDUs, and current sale data lists Collins communications and navigation equipment. Operational missions for this airframe would align with transcontinental and medium-range international executive transport given its 4,220 nm range and cruise speed of 459 kts, typically operating from the owner/operator base in South Pasadena, CA for corporate or charter missions. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include support for the Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 engines and avionics integration noted in sale data.

The Gulfstream IV-SP occupies a mid-to-long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental non-stop capability and a high-altitude cruise ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competitive aircraft in the same segment include other large-cabin, long-range business jets; buyer demand often prioritizes cabin layout flexibility, avionics modernity and engine maintenance history—factors directly relevant to this airframe given its 2002 build year, recorded 22-seat registry entry and the Honeywell/Collins avionics fit. Resale and maintenance considerations for this aircraft would weigh its age, the Rolls-Royce Tay engine support status, and the $5.995M valuation against interior configuration and avionics pedigree.
