N553G

The airframe bearing registration N553G is a Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 5053. The airframe is owned by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp, a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US, and carries a US registration. Valued at $14,950,000, this individual G550 reflects the specification and configuration delivered by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in the mid-2000s. The listing of manufacturer, serial and registered owner ties this example directly to corporate operation and support infrastructure in Savannah.

The cabin in this specific GV-SP is a 13-passenger forward galley layout with forward club seating, a mid-cabin workstation/credenza, and an aft two four-place divans arrangement, configured to accommodate business or executive transport for up to 13 occupants. Avionics are fitted with Honeywell PlaneView (PlaneView integrated avionics) and include EVS, VGS and FANS/CPDLC options, supporting advanced situational awareness and long-range communications. With a maximum range of 6,750 nm and a typical cruise of 460 kts to FL51,000, the aircraft is appropriate for intercontinental point-to-point missions and transoceanic ferry or charter flights typical of large-cabin Gulfstream operations. As an airframe owned by the manufacturer, maintenance, parts support and potential upgrades can be coordinated through Gulfstream’s Savannah resources.

The GV-SP (G550) occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, emphasizing transcontinental and intercontinental capability as evidenced by its 6,750 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the segment typically offer similar range and cabin capacities; buyer and charter demand for a 13-seat G550 reflects its combination of payload, speed (460 kts cruise) and high-altitude performance. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 2004 serial 5053 example will reflect cumulative utilization, engine BR710 support and avionics upgrade paths for PlaneView-equipped G550s.
