N445MD

This airframe, registered as N445MD, is a 1999-built Gulfstream G-IV SP with manufacturer serial number 1366. The aircraft is operated by and on the U.S. registry for Malcolm Aviation LLC, an LLC based in San Francisco, CA, US, and has remained associated with that operator in available records. The airframe is a late-1990s Gulfstream G‑IV SP example, reflecting the production standards of Gulfstream Aerospace at the time of manufacture. No additional public registry actions or transfers are recorded in the provided data.

The cabin in this specific airframe is fitted as a 14‑place executive, three‑zone configuration (operator/charter layout) reflecting a role that supports both corporate transport and charter missions. Avionics are listed as Honeywell SPZ‑8000, which is the typical GIV/GIV‑SP fit, though operator-specific updates and retrofits may vary over the aircraft’s operational life. With a long-range capability of 4,091 nm and a cruise speed of 459 kts, typical missions for this airframe include transcontinental U.S. flights and transcontinental flights to and from the West Coast base in San Francisco, CA. Maintenance considerations for this chassis include managing legacy systems and periodic updates to avionics and interiors consistent with charter use and executive expectations.

The Gulfstream G-IV SP occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering higher payload and cabin comfort than light and mid-size business jets while being more economical than larger ultra-long-range types. Competing models in its era included late-model Gulfstream variants and other long-range business jets; demand from fractional, charter and corporate buyers typically centers on proven reliability and cabin flexibility such as the three‑zone layout present on this airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1999 airframe with Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 engines include life-limited component tracking and potential engine shop visits; avionics like the Honeywell SPZ‑8000 may be upgraded to meet contemporary airspace and charter operator requirements.
