N888CS

This entry covers the specific airframe N888CS, a Gulfstream G-IV (G-IV SP) built in 2001 with manufacturer's serial number 1469. The aircraft is owned and operated by WORLDWIDE JET CHARTER INC, based in Phoenix, AZ, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe's recorded market valuation for this listing is $5,513,104, and available information highlights a typical corporate charter configuration and completed standard registry actions under its current corporate owner.

The operator lists a cabin arranged in a 16‑passenger day configuration with 5 sleeping positions (individual beds) and both forward and aft galleys plus forward and aft lavatories, providing flexibility for mixed day‑charter and overnight missions. Avionics equipment specifically noted include Collins 462 ADF and an Artex 406 ELT; the broader integrated suite is not publicly listed for this airframe. Typical operations for this configuration under a Phoenix‑based charter operator include medium‑ to long‑range point‑to‑point corporate and charter flights within the aircraft's transcontinental to near‑intercontinental range envelope, leveraging the G‑IV SP’s cruise speed and high‑altitude capability. Maintenance considerations follow Gulfstream and Rolls‑Royce service protocols for the Tay 611 series engines and consistent upkeep of a higher‑utilization charter interior layout.

The Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IV SP) family occupies a large‑cabin, long‑range business jet niche, offering intercontinental capability and cruise performance attractive to charter operators and corporate owners alike. Its competitors include other late‑generation large business jets that trade range, cabin size, and operating economics; buyer and charter demand tends to favor airframes with well‑documented maintenance and modern avionics fits. For this airframe, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program status for the Rolls‑Royce Tay 611 series, documented interior condition given the mixed day/overnight layout, and clarity on the complete avionics suite beyond the publicly noted Collins and Artex components.
