N550KR

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N550KR, a 2014-built example of the Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) with Manufacturer Serial Number 5491. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by N550KR LLC, an LLC based in Salt Lake City, UT, US; no other operators or ownership transfers are recorded in the provided data. The type is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet completed to executive configuration standards and is appraised at $46,500,000. The airframe’s registration and ownership record indicate operation from a U.S. base with a high-value market position consistent with late-production G550 examples.

This airframe is certified for 20 seats and is documented with cabin arrangements typical to the type: executive completions normally fit 14–20 seats with a forward galley and optioned forward and aft lavatories; the present certification permits operation at the upper end of that range. Avionics are listed as the Gulfstream PlaneView / Honeywell Primus Epic family, providing integrated flightdeck functionality and systems common to high-end business jets. Typical missions for this airframe include long-range partisan and corporate transport across transcontinental and intercontinental sectors, leveraging the 6,750 nm range and long-range cruise speed of 488 kts. Based on the owner location in Salt Lake City, UT, US, routine operations and maintenance are presumed to be conducted from a U.S.-based operator or management company in that region, with maintenance considerations consistent with BR700-series engine support and Gulfstream avionics logistics.

The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) family occupies the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high cruise altitude performance exemplified by this airframe’s 51,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in mission and market include late-model Bombardier Global series jets and newer Gulfstream variants; resale and charter demand for a 2014 G550 like N550KR typically reflects its remaining operational life, installed avionics, and engine maintenance status. Maintenance considerations center on BR700 engine program support and avionics upgrade paths for the PlaneView / Primus Epic suite; these factors, combined with the documented $46,500,000 valuation, inform buyer and charter-market expectations for this specific aircraft.
