N874C

This airframe, registered as N874C, is a Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IV SP) built in 1993 with manufacturer serial number 1219. It is owned by TRANS-EXEC AIR SERVICE INC, a corporate owner based in Van Nuys, CA, US, and is U.S.-registered. The airframe’s configuration and ownership identify it as a corporate/operator aircraft based at Van Nuys; no additional public registry actions or incident history are published for this specific tail number in the supplied data.

The cabin for this G‑IV SP follows a typical executive layout, accommodating approximately 12–13 passengers in common G‑IV configurations while this specific aircraft is fitted with 22 seats (indicating a higher-density or mixed role seating plan), and includes a forward galley, forward crew area, and forward and aft lavatories as described in common Gulfstream layouts. Avionics are the OEM Collins Pro Line 4 suite, consistent with standard G‑IV/G‑IVSP equipment, supporting long-range IFR operations and common corporate mission avionics needs. Operated from Van Nuys by TRANS‑EXEC AIR SERVICE INC, the aircraft’s missions are consistent with transcontinental and high‑speed corporate travel, with maintenance considerations driven by its 1993 manufacture date and twin TAY 611SER turbofans.

The Gulfstream G‑IV/G‑IVSP family occupies the midsize-to-large long‑range business jet niche, notable for transcontinental range and high cruise speed, competing with platforms such as Bombardier Challenger variants and large-cabin Falcons. The G‑IV’s enduring demand stems from its balanced payload‑range and established support network, though age, avionics vintage such as the Collins Pro Line 4, and specific seating configurations (here 22) are influential factors in maintenance planning and resale valuation on the used market.
