N549CF

This airframe, registered as N549CF, is a 1997 Gulfstream G-V built as serial number 519 by Gulfstream Aerospace. It is recorded on the US registry to owner AVEX XVII LLC, a limited liability company based in FT LAUDERDALE, FL, US, and has been operated from that South Florida base for corporate and charter missions. The aircraft carries a 20-seat registry entry and a market valuation of $19,000,000, reflecting its age, configured cabin, and typical systems fit for early G‑V examples. No additional public registry actions or changes of ownership are noted in the provided data.

The aircraft is fitted with a three‑zone executive layout consistent with typical Gulfstream V interiors, and while factory and typical GV arrangements span 12–20 passenger executive configurations, the registry for this airframe lists 20 seats. Avionics for the airframe are recorded as the original/typical Honeywell SPZ‑8500 suite for early GV airframes, with later avionics upgrades such as Rockwell Collins/Pratt & Whitney PlaneView or Honeywell Primus Epic possible but not shown in the registry data. Operating primarily from its Fort Lauderdale location, the G‑V’s long range and high cruise speed support transcontinental and intercontinental business missions, positioning it for executive transport and charter work; maintenance considerations follow standard late‑1990s Gulfstream patterns for Rolls‑powered airframes and three‑zone cabins.

The Gulfstream G‑V family occupies the ultra‑long‑range, large‑cabin business jet niche, offering long intercontinental range, high cruise speed, and a high service ceiling compared with earlier large-cabin types. Competing models in the same era and mission profile include late‑model Bombardier and Dassault platforms; purchasers and charter operators target the G‑V for transoceanic capability and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1997 serial 519 G‑V with original SPZ‑8500 avionics and Rolls‑Royce BR700 engines include potential avionics retrofit costs and engine/airframe shop visit schedules typical for aircraft of this vintage, factors reflected in the $19,000,000 valuation.
