N403JS

This entry documents airframe N403JS, a Gulfstream Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IV SP) built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 1433. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by PISTOLA ALTA LLC, a Miami, FL‑based corporation, with Miami listed as the operator/home base. The FAA registry records a seating configuration of 22 seats for this registration despite the model's typical executive layouts; the airframe is valued at $3,000,000 and reflects a mature, late‑model G‑IV SP in commercial corporate ownership.

The cabin of N403JS conforms to a typical executive Gulfstream layout, normally accommodating 14–19 passengers in standard configurations but officially registered with 22 seats for this airframe. Avionics fit is listed as Honeywell SPZ‑8000, a common installation for G‑IV / G‑IV SP airframes, supporting long‑range corporate operations and chilled‑cockpit requirements for extended overwater and transcontinental flights. Operated from Miami by a corporate entity, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with executive transport and long‑range point‑to‑point services; maintenance planning must account for high‑time airframe and Rolls‑Royce Tay engine support considerations typical of a 2000 build.

As a member of the Gulfstream G‑IV family, the G‑IV SP platform represented a long‑range, high‑performance fixed‑wing multi‑engine executive jet in its era, with this airframe offering a 4,220‑nm ferry capability and a 45,000‑ft ceiling. The combination of twin Tay 611SER engines and Honeywell avionics supports sustained cruise speeds (459 kt) desirable to corporate operators. Market and resale considerations for this specific unit—built in 2000, corporate‑owned, and listed at $3,000,000—reflect factors such as avionics standards, seating configuration, engine support status, and the maintenance history typical of late‑model G‑IV SP examples.
