N946BA

This entry covers airframe N946BA, an Israel Aircraft Industries-built IAI-1126 Gulfstream G200 completed in 2006 with manufacturer's serial number 131. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by T3 LLC (an LLC based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US), which serves as the operator/home base for the type in its current registry. No prior ownership transfers or notable enforcement actions are recorded in the provided data. The airframe is valued at $4,800,000, reflecting condition and market position implied by its age and equipment fit.

The specific cabin for N946BA follows the typical executive layout for the model, accommodating an executive complement of approximately eight to ten passengers with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the airframe also supports external baggage volume of roughly 125–150 cu ft. Avionics on this installation are the common-fit Collins Pro Line 4, supporting integrated navigation, communication and flight management tasks for corporate and charter operations. Typical missions for this airframe, given its cruise speed and range, include medium- to long-range corporate transport and on-demand charter flights from its Fort Lauderdale base, operating at altitudes up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft will follow the Gulfstream G200 program and PW306A engine maintenance cycles as applicable to its ownership and utilization profile.

The Israel Aircraft Industries IAI-1126 Gulfstream G200 occupies a mid-size cabin category with transcontinental capability in the super-mid performance niche, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability than many light jets while remaining more cost-effective to operate than larger long-range types. Competing models in its segment include super-mids and heavier light-cabin business jets offering similar ranges and cruise profiles, which shapes buyer and charter demand toward cost-conscious corporate operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the installed Collins Pro Line 4 avionics standardization and the lifespan of Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A engines, factors that influence marketability and lifecycle cost assessments for N946BA.
