N553CB

This entry covers airframe N553CB, an Israel Aerospace Industries Gulfstream G150 completed in 2007 with manufacturer serial 244. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation N553CB LLC based in Dorado, PR; the airframe is recorded as having been completed/marketed by Gulfstream Aerospace. The airframe carries a market valuation of $4,600,000, and its registry and ownership information reflect a corporate operator tied to a Puerto Rico base.

The cabin of N553CB is fitted with a forward galley and an executive six‑seat layout arranged as a four‑place club plus two single seats, and it includes a belted aft lavatory. Avionics are provided by the Collins Pro Line 21 integrated flight deck, supporting typical corporate jet navigation and communications capabilities for cross‑country and offshore missions. The aircraft’s operating profile, given its range of 2,988 nm and cruise of 447 kts, suits point‑to‑point corporate transport, charter segments, and owner‑flown operations out of its home base in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include the twin Honeywell TFE731‑40AR engines and the avionics suite lifecycle, as well as corporate registry oversight consistent with a single‑owner LLC.

The airframe is an Israel Aerospace Industries Gulfstream G150 built by Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. and completed/marketed by Gulfstream Aerospace, placing it within the light‑midsize business jet segment. With a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft, transcontinental range and a six‑place executive cabin, the type competes with other light‑midsize jets in owner‑operator and charter markets. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on airframe serial 244, completion year 2007, the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics configuration, and the condition of the Honeywell TFE731 engines when appraising or preparing the airframe for transfer.
