Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N889CG, is a 1999-built Gulfstream G‑IV SP constructed by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, serial 1386. The jet is currently owned by PRIMA AIR LLC (a corporation based in Pasadena, CA, US) and carries a US registration; its operational base is listed as Pasadena for registry purposes. Recorded ownership on public registry indicates transfer to PRIMA AIR LLC with operator/home-base designation in Pasadena, CA, and the airframe’s market valuation is recorded at $5,150,000, reflecting its late‑1990s manufacture and Type Certificate lineage. No further specific notable registry actions or historical incident data are published in the supplied dataset.
The cabin on this airframe is described as a typical three‑zone executive layout and the registry lists 22 seats, while operator/owner configurations may vary between 13–22 seats reflecting common VIP reconfigurations. Avionics are noted as the Honeywell SPZ family, consistent with typical G‑IV/G‑IVSP installations, although the specific fitment for this individual airframe is not confirmed. Typical missions for the type and this configuration include long‑range executive transport and corporate shuttle work within the aircraft’s approximately 4,091 nm range and high‑speed cruise regime near 459 kts; operations are generally managed from its Pasadena, CA, US operator base. Maintenance considerations for a 1999 G‑IV SP include monitoring of the Rolls‑Royce Tay engine program and avionics upgrade paths; unique onboard amenities are not detailed in the provided data.
The Gulfstream G‑IV SP occupies the large‑cabin, long‑range executive market, offering transcontinental capability and high cruise speeds relative to medium‑sized business jets. Competing platforms historically include later Gulfstream variants and large‑cabin types from Bombardier and Dassault; buyer and charter demand for late‑1990s G‑IV SPs is driven by price, mission fit, and refurbishment state. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on airframe hours, Rolls‑Royce Tay support status, avionics modernization (e.g., replacement or augmentation of the Honeywell SPZ family), and interior reconfiguration potential given the registry‑listed 22 seats.
