N550FB

This entry describes airframe N550FB, a Gulfstream-built large-cabin business jet delivered in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 615. The aircraft is a member of the Gulfstream G-V family and carries United States registration (US). Ownership timeline and detailed operator/home base records are not published for this specific tail; no notable registry actions are published for this airframe. Publicly available condition or valuation highlights are not published for N550FB beyond its factory production and configuration data.

Configured with the Gulfstream G-V platform systems, N550FB is fitted with the Honeywell/Gulfstream avionics package marketed as PlaneView (Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView suite), providing integrated flight management, navigation, and avionics capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this airframe's performance envelope include long-range intercontinental point-to-point transoceanic flights enabled by its 6,750 nm range at a high-speed cruise near 459 kts. As a U.S.-registered fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft, routine operations would follow FAA oversight and U.S. maintenance regulations; specific maintenance status and cabin layout for N550FB are not published. The airframe’s high service ceiling of 51,000 ft supports efficient cruise above commercial traffic and weather systems, an operational advantage for charter and corporate transport missions.

The airframe belongs to the Gulfstream G-V family (also referenced as Gulfstream G550 / GV-SP), produced by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and powered on this example by twin Rolls-Royce BR710 C4-11 turbofans. In its class, the G-V/G550 competes with other long-range large-cabin business jets, offering a blend of transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and advanced avionics such as the PlaneView suite. Buyer and charter demand historically favor well-maintained, avionics-upgraded examples; maintenance and resale considerations for N550FB would center on engine hours, avionics upgrades, and documented U.S. maintenance records, details of which are not published for this specific airframe.
