N958TB

This entry describes Gulfstream airframe N958TB, a 2003-built Gulfstream G-IV bearing serial number 1512. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by RIDA REALTY INVESTMENTS CORP, a corporation based in Houston, TX, US; operation appears corporate-based from that location. Registry and listing material reference a planned avionics upgrade and modernized systems, and no public sale valuation is published for this specific airframe. Maintenance and condition commentary in available listings emphasize avionics and mission-equipment enhancements rather than structural or engine overhaul history.

The cabin of this Gulfstream G-IV is outfitted in an executive 14-passenger layout: a forward four-place club, a mid two-place club opposite a four-place divan, and an aft four-place conference grouping, complemented by a full aft galley and an aft lavatory. Avionics fit for this airframe is listed as a Honeywell PlaneDeck DU-885 upgrade with Honeywell FMS, HUD-2020 Head Up Display, Enhanced Vision System and associated Honeywell navigation and flight systems, supporting advanced situational awareness for precision routing. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its range and cruise, include transcontinental and intercontinental corporate transport missions out of its Houston corporate base, with flexibility for both short-business hops and longer nonstop sectors. The corporate ownership and enhanced avionics suite suggest a priority on reliable, operator-friendly systems and modern approach/landing capability under varied operational conditions.

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies a long-range, large-cabin niche between mid-size business jets and ultra-long-range types, prized for high cruise speeds and transcontinental range. With the specified Rolls-Royce Tay powerplants and a 3,696 nm range, this airframe competes with late-model large-cabin types for corporate and fractional operators seeking cabin comfort for up to 14 executive passengers and supplemental seating to 22. Market considerations for this serial include avionics modernization status and maintenance records; buyers and charter operators typically evaluate G-IV examples on documentation of engine and APU time, structural inspections, and the presence of HUD/EVS and FMS upgrades as noted in listings for this airframe.
