N516MC

This airframe, registered as N516MC, is a 2004 Gulfstream G-IV (G400) with manufacturer's serial number 1531. It is owned by PJK AVIATION LLC, a corporation (LLC) based in Great Neck, New York, and is US-registered. The airframe is a typical mid‑2000s G‑IV delivery, certificated for 22 seats and commonly operated in the executive charter/owner-flown market; its reported market valuation is $6,500,000. Available registry data emphasize corporate ownership and standard Gulfstream configuration with no public record here of major registry transfers beyond the listed owner.

The cabin is fitted in a typical executive layout with a 12–14 passenger club/sofa configuration, a forward galley and an aft lavatory, and the ship is certificated for 22 seats. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 4, the typical G‑IV fitment, though specific shipset updates or retrofits may vary by this individual aircraft. Operationally the airframe’s 4,136 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed suit transcontinental and transoceanic executive missions, frequently deployed by its owner/operator from its Great Neck, NY base for long‑range charter or corporate use. Maintenance considerations align with ageing G‑IV fleets—engine support for the Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8 and airframe systems upgrades are typical lifecycle items for a 2004 build.

The Gulfstream G‑IV/G400 series occupies the large-cabin, long‑range business jet niche for which it was designed, offering transcontinental capability without stepping into ultra‑long‑range type complexity. Competing models in its era include late-model large-cabin Falcons and Challengers; buyer and charter demand for G‑IVs typically hinges on configured cabin, avionics retrofits and engine maintenance status. For this airframe, factors such as the Collins Pro Line 4 fitment, certificated 22-seat layout and the Rolls‑Royce Tay engines are key resale and maintenance considerations influencing utility and market value.
