N869MD

This airframe, registered as N869MD, is a 1999 Gulfstream Aerospace G‑IV (Gulfstream IV‑SP) bearing serial number 1363 and manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by EMO SYSTEMS LLC, an LLC located in Wilton Manors, FL, US, which serves as its operator and home base for regulatory and operating purposes. The 1999 build places the airframe within the later production run of the G‑IV family, and its documented status with a single corporate owner suggests continuous corporate service rather than multiple commercial operators. Registered as a U.S. corporate jet under EMO SYSTEMS LLC, there are no other published ownership transfers in the provided data.

The airframe’s seating for 22 indicates a high‑capacity corporate or shuttle interior configuration relative to typical long‑range business jet layouts, supporting group transport and transcontinental missions. With a published long‑range capability of 4,220 nm and a cruise speed of 459 kts, the aircraft is suited to nonstop coast‑to‑coast and transoceanic missions within its operational ceiling of 45,000 ft. As a Gulfstream IV‑SP variant powered by twin Rolls‑Royce Tay turbofans, maintenance considerations would focus on engine shop visits consistent with the Tay 611‑8 lifecycle and typical G‑IV avionics and airframe checks; specific avionics fit and interior amenities for this tail number are not published in the supplied data. Regular corporate operations out of Wilton Manors, FL would typically include executive transport, group repositioning flights, and direct long‑range point‑to‑point missions.

The Gulfstream G‑IV family occupies the long‑range corporate jet niche, offering intercontinental range and high‑speed cruise for large passenger complements; the G‑IV‑SP variant emphasizes improved performance and systems refinements. Competing models in mission profile and era include late‑1990s heavy long‑range bizjets from manufacturers such as Bombardier and Dassault. Market considerations for a 1999 G‑IV‑SP include airframe hours, engine cycles on the Tay 611‑8 powerplants, and the completeness of avionics and interior refurbishments, all of which strongly influence maintenance planning and resale value.
