N654FX

This entry documents airframe N654FX, a Gulfstream GVI (marketed as the G650ER) built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 6196. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by MIRASOL CAPITAL LLC (c/o FLEXJET LLC), a corporation operated under a fractional ownership model based in Cleveland, OH, US. The registry for this airframe shows a fractional configuration allowance of up to 22 seats and indicates typical executive layouts of 16–18 passengers; the fractional ownership status is a notable operational characteristic. Valuation and condition notes for the specific airframe list a market value of $39,900,000, reflecting its late-production G650ER specification and installed systems.

The cabin for N654FX conforms to Gulfstream’s executive interior philosophy, with registry and configuration information indicating a typical executive layout of 16–18 pax while formally showing up to 22 seats to support fractional operations. Avionics and mission-fit for this airframe include the Honeywell-based PlaneView II system augmented by an Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and the optional Head-Up Display (HUD), enabling low-visibility and long-range operational capability. Operated under a fractional ownership arrangement by MIRASOL CAPITAL LLC (c/o FLEXJET LLC) from Cleveland, OH, the aircraft is routinely employed on long-range intercontinental executive missions consistent with its 7,437 nm range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical G650ER practices, including BR725 engine support and avionics upgrades tied to EVS/HUD maintenance cycles.

The Gulfstream GVI/G650ER family occupies the ultra-long-range, large-cabin executive transport niche, delivering transoceanic capability at high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft. Competing models in this segment include other ultra-long-range business jets from Dassault and Bombardier; demand is driven by fractional operators and corporate flight departments seeking high-speed, long-range capability. For this airframe, the combination of BR725 powerplants, advanced PlaneView II avionics with EVS/HUD, and a fractional-configurable cabin supports continued charter and fractional demand but also implies maintenance and resale considerations tied to high-end avionics and engine commonality.
