N88LC

This airframe, registered as N88LC, is a Gulfstream G500 (GVII‑G500) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and completed in 2020 with serial number 72050. The aircraft is owned by a corporation (name not published) and is FAA-registered in the US; no public operator or home-base has been disclosed. There are no widely reported registry actions beyond its certification and current FAA registration, and its indicative market valuation is listed at $38,000,000 reflecting a relatively recent build and contemporary avionics fit.

FAA records show this airframe is registered with a nine‑seat executive layout; the cabin entry notes it is FAA‑registered as 9 seats (executive layout) while typical G500 interiors are configurable for 9–19 seats with up to three living areas and flexible galley and lavatory placements. The cockpit is equipped with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced flight‑deck automation, synthetic vision and enhanced situational awareness for long‑range point‑to‑point operations. With a 5,300 nm range and 488 kt cruise speed, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and intercontinental business missions; routine use cases for this specific airframe would include executive transport and charter work depending on operator choices. Maintenance considerations follow Gulfstream’s G500 schedules for PW814GA engines and modern avionics; no unique airframe modifications or incident history are published.

The Gulfstream G500 (GVII‑G500) occupies the mid‑to‑large business‑jet segment with high cruise speed, long range and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, competing with types such as Bombardier’s Challenger 3500 and the Dassault Falcon 2000/6X family at similar mission profiles. Demand from corporations and fractional/charter operators is driven by its cabin flexibility (9–19 seats), advanced Symmetry flight deck and efficient PW814GA engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2020 airframe center on engine time, avionics currency and adherence to Gulfstream’s maintenance program; its listed value of $38,000,000 positions it competitively among late‑model G500s on the pre‑owned market.
