Model & Market Context
N56C is a 2012 Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550), MSN 5396, currently registered to AUSOME AVIATION LLC (Newark, DE). The airframe was re‑registered in the United States in June 2022 and carries the US N‑number N56C; prior to US registration the airframe had a UK registration (G‑MRLX). The airplane is finished in a white livery with blue/red accent stripes and is actively operated in large‑cabin, long‑range roles.
N56C is configured as a long‑range corporate transport with a high‑comfort executive cabin (typical layouts 14–20 seats depending on completion). The airplane is powered by two Rolls‑Royce BR710 series turbofans (rated ~15,385 lbf each), flies long‑range cruise at about Mach 0.80 (~459 kt) and is certified to FL510 (51,000 ft). Typical mission profiles include transcontinental and intercontinental trips (single‑stop or non‑stop legs up to ~6,750 nm), with forward and aft galleys, two lavatories and standard cabin management/entertainment systems.
The G550 (GV‑SP) is Gulfstream's proven long‑range large‑cabin business jet introduced as an evolution of the GV; it is known for long single‑engine‑out range, high cruise speeds and the PlaneView avionics family. The model was produced through the 2000s and into the late 2010s and remains competitively positioned versus other long‑range types for owners who value range, cabin comfort and mature support networks. N56C has public spotting/photography records (U.S. and U.K.) that corroborate active international movements since its US registration.
