N868SC

This entry describes airframe N868SC, a Gulfstream G200 built by Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd in 2009 with manufacturer serial number 232. The aircraft is registered in the US and is currently owned by individual NICKRAVESH NIKNAM of Saratoga, CA, US, with no additional operator history published. The airframe carries a reported market valuation of $6,500,000 and shows typical mid-life attributes for a 2009-built business jet in fixed-wing multi-engine category.

The cabin of N868SC is configured for a ten-passenger arrangement with a forward four-place club, an aft four-place conference group opposite a three-place divan, a forward galley, and a jumpseat, reflecting a layout optimized for mixed executive transport and small-group meetings. Avionics on this airframe are the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, including dual FMS-6100, Collins EFIS, Collins TCAS, and EGPWS Mark V, providing integrated navigation, surveillance, and terrain awareness capability for long-range business missions. Typical operations for this configuration would emphasize transcontinental or extended overwater routes enabled by the 3,400 nm range and cruise speed of 459 kts, with ceiling performance to 45,000 ft supporting efficient routing and traffic separation. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on lifecycle support for the PW306A engines and avionics software/obsolescence management within the Pro Line 4 suite.

As a member of the Gulfstream G200 family, N868SC represents a mid-range business jet profile combining long-range capability and higher cruise speeds with a relatively spacious cabin for its class, as evidenced by the ten-passenger layout and transcontinental range. The twin PW306A engines and 45,000 ft ceiling deliver operational flexibility for point-to-point corporate missions, while the 2009 build year and indicated value of $6,500,000 are relevant factors for resale and maintenance planning for prospective buyers or private operators.
