N489VR

The airframe bearing registration N489VR is a 1999-built Gulfstream G‑IVSP, serial number 1389, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. Ownership is recorded to MMAP LLC (c/o Pegasus Elite Aviation), a corporate owner based in Van Nuys, CA, US, and the aircraft is registered in the US. The airframe’s documented valuation is $5,368,684, and its configuration and equipment reflect a purpose for executive transport and charter operations out of the owner/operator’s Van Nuys base. No public record of major registry events beyond corporate ownership transfer is provided in the supplied data.

The cabin for this specific airframe is described as a typical three‑zone executive layout, with the type certificate allowing up to 22 seats while charter fits commonly carry 13–14 passengers; internally accessible baggage capacity is approximately 169 cu ft. Avionics equipment fitted to N489VR is centered on a Honeywell SPZ‑8400 six‑tube EFIS, dual Honeywell NZ‑2000 FMS units and triple LASEREF II inertial systems, with a Collins communications/navigation suite also noted on the broker specification. Typical missions for this configuration include transcontinental and transoceanic executive transport within the aircraft’s 3,800 nm range and cruise speeds near 476 kt, operated from the owner’s Van Nuys base under corporate/charter profiles. Maintenance considerations align with medium‑large twin turbofan work scopes and Rolls‑Royce Tay engine support requirements for late‑1990s Gulfstream airframes.

The Gulfstream G‑IVSP occupies a long‑range, large‑cabin executive niche, offering higher cruise speed and range relative to light and mid‑size business jets while trailing larger ultra‑long‑range types. Competing models in the segment include other late‑1990s large‑cabin twins from Bombardier and Dassault variants. Buyer and charter demand for G‑IVSP examples typically centers on cost‑effective transcontinental performance and spacious cabin flexibility; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program status, avionics retrofits, and completed interior/maintenance records given the airframe’s 1999 build date.
