N474D

This entry covers airframe N474D, a Gulfstream G550 (GV-SP) built by Gulfstream Aerospace in 2005 with serial number 5083. The aircraft is recorded on the U.S. registry and is owned by the corporation MILLARD S DREXLER INC, located in Teterboro, NJ, US; ownership is documented in the registry under that corporate name. The frame’s documented attributes include an executive cabin layout with registry-listed seating for 20 and an avionics fit of Gulfstream PlaneView. Operationally the aircraft is a U.S.-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet used from the owner’s Teterboro base.

The specific cabin of N474D is configured in an executive layout with the registry listing 20 seats, consistent with long-range business-jet missions. Avionics are installed as Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting modern flight-deck management and long-range navigation for transcontinental and intercontinental routings from a Teterboro, NJ, operator base. Typical operations for this airframe type and configuration include executive transport and long-range point-to-point missions leveraging the aircraft’s 6,750 nm range and high-altitude capability to cruise at 488 kts up to 51,000 ft. Maintenance and operational considerations for this individual aircraft follow manufacturer and engine OEM practices for the BR710-family powerplants and Gulfstream support for the G550 series.

The Gulfstream G550 (GV-SP) occupies the long-range large-cabin performance niche within the business-jet market, combining transoceanic range with high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in its class typically include other ultra-long-range business jets offering similar range and cabin capacity; buyer and charter demand historically values this performance and cabin flexibility. For resale and maintenance, airframes like N474D reflect considerations tied to engine BR710-family overhaul status, Gulfstream avionics support for Gulfstream PlaneView, and the airframe’s serial and build-year provenance in evaluating market position.
