N474MJ

This airframe, registered as N474MJ, is a 1997-built Gulfstream G-V (Gulfstream V) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace, serial number 524. The aircraft is owned by AIR 47 LLC (an LLC based in Addison, TX, US) and is recorded on the US registry; registration documentation notes a 20-seat configuration for this specific serial. The airframe’s documented configuration and ownership indicate an executive role under a corporate owner based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, with registry entries reflecting the 20-seat certification that differs from the type’s more common 14–19 passenger layouts.

The cabin for this airframe is documented as an executive layout but specifically recorded in a 20-seat configuration, which is at the upper end of seating for the type; the Gulfstream G-V is typically fitted for 14–19 pax but this registration reflects a higher-density executive or corporate shuttle arrangement. Avionics fit or common upgrade paths for the type include Honeywell SPZ‑8500 / Honeywell Primus Epic (PlaneView), indicating capability for modern glass cockpit operations and integrated flight-management suites where retrofits have been performed. Typical mission profiles for this airframe’s performance envelope include long-range transcontinental and intercontinental business transport from its operator base around Addison, TX, with high-altitude cruise and transoceanic capability supported by its 6,500 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would align with BR710-series engine support and avionics upgrade cycles typical for late-1990s Gulfstream V examples.

The Gulfstream G-V family occupies a high-performance, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental and transoceanic capability with high cruise speeds and altitudes. Competing models historically include other ultra-long-range bizjets of the era, and demand among corporate buyers and charter operators favors well-maintained airframes with updated avionics like the Honeywell Primus Epic (PlaneView). Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1997 serial 524 center on engine lifecycle management for the Rolls‑Royce BR700 series and the value impact of cabin configuration—this example’s documented 20-seat layout and avionics fit will influence buyer interest and mission flexibility.
