Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N516WW, is a 2015-built Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) with manufacturer's serial number 5516. The aircraft is owned by SIERRA SUNSET INC (a corporation) and carries a US registration; no separate operator or home base information is published in the available data. The airframe's reported condition and outfitting are reflected in a broker-advertised valuation of $15,750,000 and a described 14-passenger Elite cabin, indicating a high-utility executive configuration for long-range missions.
The cabin is reported as a 14‑passenger Elite interior with a forward galley and forward crew rest area, while broker specification sheets advertise a four‑zone executive layout, suggesting flexibility between corporate and charter configurations. Avionics are reported as Gulfstream PlaneView, a Honeywell-based integrated suite, aligning the aircraft with contemporary large-cabin avionics standards for advanced navigation and situational awareness. With a transoceanic range of 6,750 nm and a service ceiling to 51,000 ft, typical missions for this airframe would include long-haul executive transport and charter operations on transcontinental and intercontinental routes. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe derive from its BR710 engines and Gulfstream GV-SP systems architecture; detailed service history and maintenance status are not published in the supplied data.
The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) occupies the long-range large-cabin sector, offering extended-range performance and high cruise speed relative to older large-cabin types. Competing models in the same mission set include aircraft from Bombardier and Dassault that serve transoceanic corporate transport roles. Buyer and charter demand for this model typically emphasizes range, cabin comfort, and avionics capability; the reported PlaneView suite and Elite cabin support that market appeal. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on engine cycle status and completed avionics/airframe upgrades, factors not detailed in the provided data.
