N96UA

This entry documents airframe N96UA, a 2012 Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) built by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation with serial number 5367. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by THREE DIAMOND FLYERS LLC, an LLC based in Glen Burnie, MD, US; ownership appears to be corporate-held with registry details reflecting a U.S. limited liability company. The airframe’s registry records note a maximum seating configuration of 20 seats while commonly operated in lower-count executive layouts. Certificate, maintenance and transfer history beyond the listed owner are not published in the provided data.

The specific cabin of N96UA is described as a VIP executive layout; the model typically features a 14–19 passenger executive interior but the registry for this airframe lists a 20-seat maximum configuration. Avionics fit on this G550 follows the Honeywell-based integrated flight deck approach, commonly noted as Honeywell Primus Epic (PlaneView) for the type, providing advanced flight management, displays and system integration. Operational missions for this airframe are consistent with long-range executive transport—intercontinental point-to-point flights leveraging the 6,750 nm range and high-altitude cruise capability. Based out of the owner’s Maryland jurisdiction, typical usage would include corporate, charter or owner-flown long-range business trips; specific maintenance schedules or unique amenity fit-outs for this airframe are not detailed in the supplied data.

The Gulfstream GV-SP (marketed as the G550) occupies the long-range large-cabin business jet niche, valued for transcontinental and transoceanic capability with cruise speeds around 488 kts and service ceilings to 51,000 ft. Competing models in this performance segment include later Gulfstream variants and rival large-cabin types from Bombardier and Dassault; demand is driven by corporations and fractional/charter operators seeking extended-range executive platforms. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical G550 traits: mature avionics suites (here Honeywell-derived), two Rolls-Royce BR700 series engines, and a versatile cabin that may be reconfigured within registry limits to match buyer or charter demand.
