N475LC

This airframe, registered as N475LC, is a 2002 Gulfstream G-IV (G-IV SP) built by Gulfstream Aerospace with serial number 1472. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by L 3 IS LLC, an LLC based in Kalispell, MT, US. The current ownership and home-base designation reflect a single recorded corporate custodian; specific historical registry transactions, sale dates, or valuation records for this airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin for this specific airframe is characterized generically as a typical executive layout; the G-IV SP is commonly fitted with 12–14 seats in an executive configuration but is certificated to 22 seats and the specific interior for N475LC is not published. Based from Kalispell, MT, the combination of a 4,220 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed positions the aircraft for long-range executive transport, transcontinental flights, and corporate missions that require high speed and altitude performance up to 45,000 ft. Its twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 turbofans define key maintenance and operational considerations, including the need for type-specific engine support and scheduled shop visits per manufacturer guidance; no unique amenities or modifications for this serial are published.

The Gulfstream G-IV (G-IV SP) family, produced by Gulfstream Aerospace, occupies a long-range executive jet niche defined by multi-engine reliability, high cruise speed, and substantial cabin capacity when certificated seating is maximized. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, transcontinental range of 4,220 nm, and seating up to 22, the type appeals to corporate and fractional operators requiring long-range nonstop capability. Lifecycle ownership considerations for this airframe include continued access to Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 support and the general market factors affecting late-model airframes from the 2002 production year; specific resale valuations and refurbishment history for N475LC are not provided.
