N482FX

This airframe, registered as N482FX, is a 2007-built Gulfstream GIV‑X (G450) with serial number 4072. Delivered into corporate fleet use and currently listed as owned by FLEXJET LLC of Cleveland, Ohio, the aircraft carries a US registration (US) and is tracked in civil registries as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine executive transport. The airframe’s registry history emphasizes corporate operation rather than individual private ownership, and public valuation metrics place the example at approximately $11,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and market position among late‑generation large‑cabin business jets. No exceptional regulatory actions are published in the provided data; condition and maintenance notes are limited to standard corporate operator stewardship and typical program support expectations for the model.

The registry lists this airframe with 22 seats, while typical executive outfitting for the Gulfstream GIV‑X family is usually configured with 12–16 seats arranged into forward and aft cabin zones; this reflects the aircraft’s flexibility to support higher‑density positioning flights or full executive layouts. Avionics are fitted with the Honeywell Primus Epic (PlaneView) suite, supporting advanced flight management, integrated displays, and common type operator procedures. Operated by a Cleveland, Ohio–based corporate operator, the aircraft is well suited to transcontinental and transoceanic missions within its 4,350 nm range and commonly flown at cruise speeds near 459 kts to FL450. Maintenance considerations align with Rolls‑Royce TAY engine program requirements and Gulfstream airframe maintenance intervals typical for GIV‑X series aircraft.

The Gulfstream GIV‑X (G450) occupies a performance niche offering long‑range capability, high cruise speed, and a large cabin relative to its class, appealing to fractional operators and corporate fleets. Competing models include late‑generation larger‑cabin business jets and heavy midsize types; demand is driven by buyers seeking proven reliability and lower acquisition cost compared with newer types. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include engine program status, avionics capability such as the Honeywell Primus Epic fit, and the value impact of interior configuration choices between the registry‑listed 22 seats and the more marketable 12–16 executive layouts.
