N516GS

The airframe bearing tail number N516GS is a Gulfstream G500 with manufacturer serial 72216, registered in the US and owned by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. This specific hull remains in manufacturer ownership, noted as manufacturer-owned in corporate registry records. The aircraft is listed with an estimated market valuation of $48,500,000, reflecting a large-cabin, long-range business-jet condition profile. No public operator or home-base change of registry has been published outside the corporate ownership record.

The cabin of this Gulfstream G500 airframe supports up to three living areas and is configurable with either a forward or aft galley; executive layouts for this airframe are typically 10–14 seats with a maximum certified capacity up to 19. The flight deck is equipped with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, providing advanced avionics, enhanced situational awareness and automated flight-systems integration for long-range mission profiles. With a nominal range of 5,300 nm and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, the airframe is suitable for transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport missions. As the asset remains in Gulfstream corporate ownership, maintenance and technical support are understood to be directly supported by manufacturer resources, a factor that can affect service continuity and records integrity for this specific serial number.

The Gulfstream G500 occupies the large-cabin, long-range business-jet niche, combining high-altitude capability (51,000 ft) with transcontinental reach (5,300 nm) and modern avionics via the Symmetry Flight Deck. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney PW814GA engines rated at 15,144 lbf each, the model competes in markets where range, cabin flexibility and advanced cockpit systems drive buyer and charter demand. Manufacturer ownership and a published valuation of $48,500,000 are relevant to resale and maintenance considerations, as in-house support and complete factory records can preserve asset value relative to peer airframes.
