N50LK

This article covers airframe tail number N50LK, a 1994-built Gulfstream G-IV (Gulfstream IV-SP) with manufacturer serial number 1252. The airframe is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC OWNER TRUSTEE, an owner trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. Built by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, the airframe’s documented value is $5,800,000, reflecting its mid-life status among G-IV/SP examples and any retrofit or maintenance history implied by its trust ownership.

The cabin of this Gulfstream G-IV (G-IV SP) is typically arranged in a 10–14 passenger executive layout with a forward galley and aft lavatory, with standard model cabin dimensions of approximately 45.1 ft length, 7.3 ft width and 6.1 ft height; this particular airframe is documented with a certified seating capacity up to 22, which can reflect an alternate interior or additional cabin seating configuration. Avionics fit is commonly a dual Honeywell SPZ-8400 / integrated Honeywell EFIS installation, consistent with many G-IV/SP retrofit or stock configurations. Operationally, the platform is suitable for long-range executive transport missions and business charter operations from its home base in North Salt Lake, UT, US, with maintenance and operational considerations driven by its twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 powerplants and the typical support network for Gulfstream airframes.

The Gulfstream G-IV (Gulfstream IV-SP) family occupies a long-range corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with cruise speeds near 488 kts and a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models typically include other large-cabin, long-range bizjets; buyer and charter demand for well-maintained G-IV/SP airframes often reflects interior condition, engine status, and avionics upgrades such as the Honeywell SPZ-8400 suite. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on its 1994 build year, serial 1252, the health of its Rolls-Royce Tay engines, and the trustee ownership structure represented by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC OWNER TRUSTEE.
