This airframe, registered N5BL, is a 2009-built Gulfstream Aerospace GV-SP (G550) bearing serial number 5227. The aircraft is recorded as owned by BLM AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Dover, DE, US, which serves as the operator/home base for registry purposes. The U.S. registration shows an operator-specific fitted floorplan with registry notes reporting seating of approximately 20, and the airframe is valued at $15,995,000 in the supplied data.

The cabin of this GV-SP is reported as a large-cabin executive layout with an operator-specific fitted floorplan and registry-recorded seating of approximately 20, indicating interior completion to executive standards rather than a standard airline configuration. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView, which is Honeywell Primus Epic-derived, supporting long-range, high-altitude operational profiles. Typical mission profiles consistent with the aircraft’s capabilities include long-range business and executive transport between continental and transoceanic points, operating from the owner/operator base in Dover, DE, US as listed. Maintenance and upkeep should correspond to large-cabin Gulfstream practices for a 2009 serial, with the registry noting the tailored interior fit as a distinguishing characteristic for charter or corporate use.
The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) family occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche, offering extended-range capability and high cruise speeds for transcontinental and transoceanic missions. Competing models occupy similar market segments; buyers and charter operators typically value the G550 for its blend of range (6,750 nm), cruise (459 kts), and cabin capacity (20 seats in this fitted example). Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial-matched airframe will reflect its year (2009), Rolls-Royce BR710 engine type, bespoke executive interior, and the market valuation of $15,995,000 as provided.
