N450Z

This airframe, tail N450Z, is a 2005-built Gulfstream Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) with serial 4012. The airframe is listed in the U.S. registry and is owned by G650 LLC, an LLC based in Bloomfield Hills, MI, US. The certificate shows a U.S. registration and a certified capacity of 22 seats; registry entries record the aircraft as a 2005-build G450 operated from the owner’s listed home base. Valuation records indicate a market value of $9,500,000, reflecting age, configuration, and common G450 depreciation factors.

The cabin for this specific airframe is reported in manufacturer/registry materials as a typical executive configuration that accommodates 12–16 passengers in executive seating, while the registry lists a certified capacity of 22 seats; this allows flexibility for VIP executive transport or higher-density seating for ferry or charter missions. Avionics fit on this airframe is Gulfstream PlaneView (PlaneView II / Honeywell-based avionics), providing modern flight-deck automation and situational awareness consistent with late-model GIV-X standards. Typical mission profiles for this G450 include transcontinental and transoceanic executive travel within its 4,350 nm range at cruise speeds near 459 kts and operating ceilings up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations follow standard Gulfstream G450 programs and the installed Rolls-Royce TAY engines’ service intervals and overhaul planning for an airframe of this vintage.

The Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business-jet niche, offering intercontinental reach without stepping into ultra-long-range categories. Competitors in this performance tier include late-model Bombardier Challenger series and Dassault Falcon variants offering similar range and cabin comfort. Demand for used G450s is driven by corporate buyers and private LLC owners seeking a balance of range, cabin size, and operating cost; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2005 serial 4012 include airframe age, engine cycles on the Rolls-Royce TAY Mk 611-8C powerplants, and the installed PlaneView avionics baseline.
