N56L

N56L is a 1993 Gulfstream G-IV (Gulfstream IV–SP), MSN 1213, registered to K2 INVESTMENT FUND LLC of Zephyr Cove, NV. The airworthiness certificate date is recorded as 1993-02-15 and the current FAA certificate issue was recorded 2024-01-10 with an expiration of 2031-01-31. The airframe is a two‑crew, heavy business jet typically certificated for up to 22 seats and is equipped with twin Rolls‑Royce TAY turbofan engines.

This airframe is configured in an executive layout consistent with 14–22 passenger Gulfstream G‑IV interiors and public sale/spec listings for MSN 1213 describe forward and aft lavatories, a forward galley/super‑galley, multiple club seating groups, divans and a work station seat. The installed avionics package on record for similar/advertised examples of this serial includes Honeywell SPZ-series EFIS/IFCS displays (DU‑880 style) and dual FMS units; optional cabin connectivity (ATG/GoGo) has been noted on recent sale/marketing material. Engines are Rolls‑Royce TAY Mk 610-8 turbofans rated at about 12,420 lbf each; the type is commonly operated on longer intercontinental missions (transcontinental/high‑range business travel) with cruise flights in the high‑400s KTAS and long‑range capability in the ~4,000+ nm class depending on payload.

The Gulfstream G‑IV family (G‑1159 / G‑IV / G‑IV‑SP) was produced in the late 1980s–early 1990s and is known for a stand‑up cabin approximately 45 ft long, robust long‑range performance and a large baggage compartment for its class. The G‑IV competes against earlier models from Bombardier and Dassault and remains a popular corporate platform for mid‑to‑long range missions because of its payload/range balance and large cabin. Market values for late‑production G‑IVs have been reported in recent price guides in the low‑single‑ to mid‑single‑million dollar range depending on year, maintenance status and interior condition. Public photos and spotting records show N56L at multiple international and U.S. airports (examples include LAX, PDK and Farnborough), and some public aircraft movement listings and sale literature reference this serial and its interior/avionics fitment.
