Avionics are reported as Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView with Head-Up Display and Enhanced Vision commonly installed as options, supporting precision long-range business operations. Based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, the aircraft’s mission profile would typically include transcontinental and transoceanic executive transport within its 4,350 nm range at cruise speeds near 459 kts, with operations benefiting from the two Rolls‑Royce Tay 611-8C engines’ performance and the platform’s 45,000 ft service ceiling. Maintenance and operational considerations mirror other late-production G450s with attention to avionics upgrades and inspection items aligned with its 2009 build year.
The Gulfstream G450 (GIV-X) occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering intercontinental capability and a high-speed cruise relative to competitors.

For this airframe, resale and maintenance considerations will center on lifecycle costs for the Rolls‑Royce Tay 611-8C engines, avionics modernization, and the remaining economic service life against its $12,600,000 valuation.
