N545C

This entry describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N545C, a 2017-built Gulfstream G280 with manufacturer serial number 2128. The aircraft was produced by IAI Ltd and is registered in the United States; it is registered to CORPORATION owner UNIVERSAL CHURCH INC, located in Newark, NJ, US. The operator/home base is recorded in the US registry under that corporate ownership, and there are no additional publicized registration transfers or incidents in the supplied data. As of the provided valuation, the airframe is appraised at $18,250,000, reflecting its relatively recent build year and configuration.

This Gulfstream G280 is configured for a typical executive interior layout accommodating 8–10 seats in its executive fit while retaining certification for up to 21 seats, enabling flexibility between corporate transport and higher-density seating when required. The avionics suite fitted to this airframe is Gulfstream PlaneView280™, supporting advanced flight management, situational awareness, and modern navigation capabilities for long-range, high-speed trip profiles. Typical operations for this platform include transcontinental and transoceanic-capable missions within its 3,600 nm range and cruise at 459 kts, often flown from its US base under corporate operation. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the HTF7250G engine type and factory avionics, which require vendor-compliant programs and Honeywell/IAI-recommended servicing intervals.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies a performance niche for super-midsize business jets offering transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling; this delivered aircraft from IAI Ltd competes with other super-midsize types in corporate and charter markets. Buyers and operators typically value the G280 for its blend of range (3,600 nm) and speed (459 kts) while considering lifecycle costs associated with Honeywell HTF-series engine maintenance and avionics support. The indicated valuation of $18,250,000 for a 2017 airframe reflects market demand for late-model, well-equipped examples and factors into resale and charter-rate considerations for corporate owners such as UNIVERSAL CHURCH INC.
