Model & Market Context
This airframe, tail number N851WU, is a 2011-built Gulfstream Aerospace GV-SP (G550) with manufacturer serial number 5342. The jet is registered to TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and holds a US registration. The airframe appears in FAA records with a valuation of $16,900,000, reflecting typical market pricing for a well-equipped 2011 G550; no additional operator changes or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data. The listing of 20 seats on the FAA record contrasts with the type’s common executive configuration noted below.
The individual aircraft carries an executive cabin layout typical for the model family (normally 14–18 passengers), while FAA documentation for this airframe lists 20 seats; this discrepancy indicates either a high-density seating certification or a difference between registered seating and actual executive fit. The interior is intended for long-range corporate transport and transcontinental or intercontinental point-to-point missions, exploiting the G550’s long-range capability of 6,750 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting advanced flight management, situational awareness and typical high-end corporate avionics functionality. Based in the United States under corporate ownership in North Salt Lake, UT, the aircraft’s operational profile would commonly include owner/operator flights or charter under corporate trustee oversight, with maintenance and event scheduling reflecting Rolls‑Royce BR710 engine shop visit cycles and Gulfstream avionics support.
The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) occupies the long-range, large-cabin business-jet niche, pairing transoceanic range and high cruise speed with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft. Competing models include other long-range heavy jets from Bombardier and Dassault; the G550 is favored for its balanced range, payload and mature support network. For buyer and charter demand, a 2011 airframe with PlaneView and BR710 engines remains attractive, although resale value and maintenance considerations hinge on engine shop visit status, avionics upgrades and interior configuration—factors reflected in the $16,900,000 valuation.
