N996PS

This entry describes Gulfstream G280 airframe N996PS, built in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 2170 by IAI Ltd / Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is registered in the US and is held in trust by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE of Salt Lake City, UT, which serves as the registered owner and administrative base. There are no additional operator or lease transitions published beyond the trust ownership; registry status and trustee holding are the primary notable administrative details. The airframe is valued at approximately $18,900,000, reflecting its late-model build year and executive configuration.

The specific cabin of N996PS is fitted in a typical executive layout for the G280 family, accommodating an 8–10 passenger executive arrangement with a forward galley and distinct forward and aft living areas; seating includes forward single seats and aft club/divan options. Avionics are installed as the Gulfstream PlaneView280 suite, supporting advanced flight management and situational awareness capabilities consistent with corporate and charter operations. Given the trustee ownership and Salt Lake City, UT registration, typical mission profiles for the airframe would include transcontinental and transborder business travel within the G280’s 3,600 nm range and high-speed cruise of 459 kts, operating to altitudes up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations align with twin Honeywell HTF7250G engine programs and Gulfstream airframe support, with configuration and refurbishment cycles influenced by corporate cabin specifications.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize turbofan niche, offering long-range capability and high cruise speed relative to light and mid-size business jets. Competitors in its segment include other super-midsize and large-cabin platforms that target corporate owner-operators and charter operators seeking transcontinental performance. Buyer and charter demand for late-model G280s like N996PS focuses on proven range, speed, and the PlaneView280 avionics package; maintenance and resale considerations center on engine program status, avionics updates, and interior condition as reflected in the aircraft’s valuation.
