N429DD

The airframe bearing registration N429DD is a Gulfstream G-IV (IV-SP) built in 1996, serial number 1293, and manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by AIRCRAFT TRUST & FINANCING CORP TRUSTEE, a corporate registrant located in Wilmington, DE, US, and is recorded on the U.S. registry. Registrant records list a 22-seat configuration, and the airframe carries a reported market value of $3,800,000. Operationally this airframe sits within the fixed-wing multi-engine category and its registry entries emphasize its executive cabin configuration and avionics fit.

The cabin of N429DD is configured in a standard aft-galley executive layout, with registrant records specifying 22 seats; this arrangement supports executive transport and high-density charter missions depending on operator choices. Avionics listed for this airframe include dual Honeywell NZ-2000 FMS units, Honeywell TCAS-II (Change 7.1), Honeywell WXR-870 weather radar, and dual Collins communication/DME/ADF elements, providing a contemporary navigation and traffic/terrain awareness fit for cross-country and transcontinental operations. With a long-range capability of 4,220 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, the aircraft is suited to nonstop long-leg missions and typical corporate or group transport profiles; maintenance planning will reflect twin TAY 611SER engine support and airframe systems common to the G-IV family. The corporate trust ownership structure suggests centralized asset management and potential lease or trust-backed operational arrangements rather than direct single-owner operation.

The airframe is a member of the Gulfstream G-IV (IV-SP) family, positioned for long-range executive transport with a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft and transcontinental capability. Competing models in its performance niche include other late-model large-cabin business jets that offer similar range and speed; buyer and charter demand historically focuses on cabin flexibility, avionics modernization, and engine shop visit status. Resale and maintenance considerations for N429DD include the lifecycle and supportability of the TAY 611SER engines and the market value of $3,800,000, which will factor in logbook completeness, refit history, and avionics/ cabin configuration for prospective operators.
