N542AP

This entry documents the Gulfstream G500 (GVII-G500) airframe registered as N542AP, constructor serial number 72069, completed in 2020. The airframe is owned by Aviation Services The Fifth Inc Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered for operation in the United States. Ownership is listed under a corporate trustee structure, and registry records indicate the fleet asset is recorded in U.S. civil registers; valuation and public condition reporting for this specific shipset are Not published. The listed configuration and equipment reflect a standard factory delivery for the G500 family with contemporary avionics and a nine-place executive interior as recorded in U.S. registry entries.

The U.S. registry notes a 9-place executive layout for the cabin of N542AP, indicating a typical long-range business configuration optimized for corporate transport missions. Avionics for the airframe are listed as the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced flight-deck automation, enhanced vision integration and synthetic vision solutions characteristic of the G500 series. Typical operations for this asset would be transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point executive flights within the aircraft’s approximately 5,000 nm range and at long-range cruise speeds near 488 kts, with operational ceilings up to 51,000 ft allowing high-altitude routing and fuel-efficient profiles. Maintenance and operational considerations align with twin-pratt & whitney PW814GA engine maintenance practices and Gulfstream factory-recommended inspections for airframes in this build series.

The Gulfstream G500 (GVII-G500) occupies the midsize-to-long-range ultra‑business-jet segment, offering transcontinental capability and high cruise speed that competes with peers in its class. With the PW814GA powerplant and the Symmetry Flight Deck, the model targets buyers and charter operators seeking a blend of speed, range and advanced avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial line center on engine shop visit cycles for the PW814GA, the cost and availability of Gulfstream factory support, and demand for nine‑seat executive interiors on the pre-owned market; individual airframe provenance such as trust ownership and U.S. registration can influence market liquidity and buyer confidentiality.
