Model & Market Context
This entry describes the specific airframe registered as N521GV, a production Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) built in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 5021. The aircraft was manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and is currently owned by ABS AIR G550 LLC, an LLC based in Miami, FL, US; this entity appears as the registered owner and operator/home base is in Miami. The airframe is US-registered and carries the valuation noted for the type, with an indicated current value of $17,000,000. No other public registry transfers or notable incident records are listed for this specific tail in the supplied data.
The interior of N521GV is fitted in a three‑zone executive layout accommodating 14 passengers: forward with four club seats, mid cabin with two club seats opposite a four‑place divan, and an aft cabin with four club seats opposite a credenza. The avionics suite is a Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView installation including a Head-Up Display and Enhanced Vision System (EVS), triple Honeywell NZ-2000 Flight Management Systems, and Honeywell Mark V Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System, supporting high-precision long‑range IFR operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 6,750 nm range and long‑range cruise, include intercontinental point‑to‑point executive transport and long transoceanic charters operated from its Miami base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific aircraft would center on upkeep of the advanced avionics (HUD/EVS) and the Rolls‑Royce BR700 propulsion systems to sustain certified long‑range performance.
The Gulfstream GV‑SP (commonly marketed as the G550) occupies the long‑range, high‑speed business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in this performance bracket include late‑generation Bombardier and Dassault long‑range business jets; buyer and charter demand historically favors well‑equipped G550s with EVS/HUD fits for executive operations. For resale and maintenance considerations specific to this airframe, remaining service life and component status of the Rolls‑Royce BR700 engines and the Honeywell Primus Epic avionics will be primary value drivers against the stated $17,000,000 valuation.
