N800AR

The airframe bearing tail number N800AR is a 2002-built Gulfstream G-IV, serial 1496, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by Perpetual Aviation LLC (LLC, Arlington, VA, US); the transfer into that ownership is the principal recorded change on file for this airframe. As a long-range executive model configured and certificated for up to 22 seats, the airframe’s market valuation is listed at $5,800,000, reflecting its age, equipment baseline and certificated seating capacity.

This specific Gulfstream G-IV is fitted with a typical long-range executive cabin layout featuring a forward galley and mid and aft seating zones; while most examples are arranged to carry 13–14 passengers in executive configuration, this airframe is certificated for up to 22 seats, allowing flexibility for higher-density transport when required. The installed avionics suite is the Collins Pro Line 4 — the typical G‑IV fit — though individual airframes commonly exhibit avionics variants, upgrades or supplemental equipment based on operator choices and modulation over time. Based from Arlington, Virginia under ownership of Perpetual Aviation LLC, typical missions for the platform include transcontinental and transoceanic executive transport and charter operations within the aircraft’s 4,220 nm range and 45,000 ft service ceiling, with maintenance considerations driven by older-generation avionics and TAY-series engine support requirements.

The Gulfstream G‑IV family occupies the long-range large-cabin executive niche, offering extended-range capability and high cruise speeds relative to smaller business jets. Competing models in its era included late-model offerings from Bombardier and newer Gulfstream derivatives; demand in the pre-owned market favors well-documented maintenance records, avionics upgrades and lower-cycle engines. For this 2002 airframe, resale and operational economics hinge on condition, engine shop visit history for the Rolls‑Royce TAY 611SER powerplants and any Pro Line 4 avionics retrofits or mandated upgrades to meet contemporary navigation and ADS-B requirements.
