N711WR

This entry covers airframe N711WR, a 1991-built Gulfstream G-IV, manufacturer serial number 1171. The aircraft is owned by the corporation TRANS TEXAS JET TRANSPORT INC, based in Realitos, TX, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s long-standing corporate ownership and US registration are the notable registry facts recorded for this aircraft. As a 1991 Gulfstream G-IV with an assessed market value of $3,650,000, the airframe represents an older, upgraded example in service with a small Texas-based operator.

The cabin of N711WR is outfitted in a 15-passenger layout consisting of a forward four-place club; a mid four-place conference group opposite two club seats; and an aft three-place divan opposite two club seats, providing mixed lounge and conference capability suitable for corporate transport. Avionics on this airframe have been significantly modernized, featuring upgraded PlaneDeck DU-885 displays, dual Honeywell FMS NZ-2010 with 6.1 software, Honeywell Laseref IV IRUs, TCAS II v7.1, Honeywell Mark V EGPWS, dual 12-channel Honeywell GPS, dual Collins VIR-432 NAVs, dual Collins DME-442, and triple Collins VHF-422C radios with 8.33 kHz spacing. Typical missions for this configuration include long-range corporate or charter trips leveraging the 4,216 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed, operating from the owner/operator base in Realitos, TX, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include sustaining older Rolls-Royce TAY series engines and keeping legacy airframe systems aligned with the upgraded avionics suite.

As a Gulfstream G-IV built in 1991 (serial 1171), N711WR sits within a mature fleet segment offering transcontinental range and large-cabin comfort. The aircraft’s long range, high cruise speed, and 15-seat cabin address the needs of corporate operators seeking intercontinental capability from a 1990s-generation platform. Given its age and the documented avionics upgrades, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine lifecycle status, airframe fatigue life, and the economic balance between continued system upgrades versus replacement with newer-generation airframes; the recorded value of $3,650,000 reflects those lifecycle and market factors.
