N527DD

This airframe, registered as N527DD, is a Gulfstream IV (G-IV) built in 1987 with serial number 1040. The documented owner is K&A ADVISORS LLC TRUSTEE, an LLC (trustee) based in Wilmington, DE, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration. As a specific airframe example within the Gulfstream IV fleet, this airframe’s record centers on corporate trust ownership rather than an identifiable commercial operator; ownership under a trust structure is a common arrangement for corporate business jets and may affect public registry visibility. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin for this airframe is a typical 13-place executive layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, reflecting its role in executive transport and private corporate missions. Avionics fitments listed for the type and common configurations for this airframe include Collins Pro Line 4 / Honeywell NZ-2000, providing integrated flightdeck capability consistent with long-range business operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point corporate travel within the aircraft’s 4,216 nm range and at a cruise of 459 kts; operations are consistent with a fixed-wing, multi-engine business jet category. Maintenance considerations for an airframe of this vintage often focus on engine life-limited components, avionics retrofits, and cabin refurbishments to maintain market competitiveness.

The Gulfstream IV (G-IV) family occupies a mid-to-long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and high cruise speed relative to contemporaries of its era. Competing models historically include other late-1980s large-cabin business jets; buyers and charter customers typically value the G-IV for range, cabin comfort, and established maintenance support networks. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on airframe hours, engine shop visits for the Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8, and the presence or extent of avionics upgrades such as Collins Pro Line 4 / Honeywell NZ-2000, which can materially affect marketability.
