N51BN

This airframe, registered as N51BN, is a 2004-built Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) with serial number 5036. It is owned by FAVA HOLDING LLC, a corporation based in San Francisco, CA, US, and is U.S.-registered as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. The airframe’s documented history in public records shows registration to FAVA HOLDING LLC; specific prior ownership transfers, notable registry actions, and published valuation or condition reports for this serial are not provided. The aircraft is representative of mid-2000s G550 airframes retained in corporate service and typically operated from the owner's home-base region.

The cabin for the G550 family is a flat‑floor executive layout with approximately 50 ft total interior length and supports typical 14–20 passenger configurations; the specific interior configuration for N51BN is not published. Avionics fit for this airframe is the Honeywell integrated suite marketed as PlaneView, supporting advanced flight management, FMS, and modern cockpit displays common to the GV-SP/G550 fleet. Typical mission profiles for this long‑range Gulfstream include transcontinental and transoceanic corporate travel, ferry flights, and long‑haul charter work operating out of the owner’s San Francisco area base. Maintenance considerations align with BR710 engine programs and Gulfstream heavy‑visit cycles; any aircraft-specific maintenance status or unique fitted amenities for N51BN have not been disclosed.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (marketed as the G550) occupies the long‑range, large‑cabin corporate jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high cruise speed against competitors such as late-model Bombardier Global series and Dassault Falcon 7X/8X variants. With a range of 6,750 nm, a cruise of 488 kts, and a 51,000 ft ceiling, the type is sought after by corporations and charter operators requiring nonstop long‑haul capability. Market considerations for this airframe class typically include BR710 engine maintenance programs, avionics upgrade paths (including PlaneView lifecycle), and resale demand tied to cabin condition and completed maintenance logs; specific resale or market-value details for N51BN are not published.
