N842PA

The airframe registered as N842PA is a Gulfstream Aerospace G-IV built in 1988, serial number 1057. It is held in trust by VALIAIR LTD CO TRUSTEE, located in Ogden, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The record for this specific airframe reflects ownership held in trust rather than direct corporate or individual operation, and its configuration and equipment status are tied to its long-range, high-capacity role within the Gulfstream IV line.

This airframe’s cabin supports up to 22 seats, indicating a high-density interior or a mix of club and divan seating tailored for group transport or charter operations; detailed cabin layout and specific avionics fit are not published. With a published range of 4,220 nm and cruise speed near 460 kts, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental and transoceanic point-to-point transport for business or group charters originating from its trustee location in Ogden, UT. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on its twin Rolls-Royce Tay Mk turbofan engines, whose lifecycle and overhaul schedules are determinant factors for dispatch reliability and operational cost for this G-IV example.

The Gulfstream Aerospace G-IV family, represented by this airframe, occupies a long-range, large-cabin niche characterized by multi-thousand-nautical-mile capability and high cruise speed; this particular example’s 4,220 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling align with that role. Competing models in the market typically include other large-cabin, long-range business jets offering similar transcontinental and transoceanic capability; buyers and charter operators value the G-IV for its capacity and speed. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (1057) and year (1988) G-IV focus on airframe hours, engine shop visits, and interior refurbishment needs — factors that strongly influence demand for older Gulfstream IV airframes in trust ownership or charter service.
