N999LX

This airframe, registered as N999LX, is a 2012 build of the Gulfstream GV‑SP (marketed as the Gulfstream G550), serial number 5386, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by CKE ASSOCIATES LLC, an LLC based in Los Angeles, CA, US, and is registered in the US; ownership is recorded under that single legal entity. Registry entries list the airframe as a fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet with a valuation around $20,000,000; public records do not show additional operator changes or historic incidents in the supplied data. Condition highlights from available data emphasize a factory‑standard G550 configuration and typical executive build options for a 2012 Gulfstream GV‑SP.

The listed cabin for this airframe is a Multi‑zone executive cabin (forward galley, forward crew rest/crew lavatory options; typical 13–18 passenger executive layout; certified up to 20 seats), reflecting Gulfstream’s flexible interior planning for long‑range missions. Avionics are noted as Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView (Honeywell PlaneView avionics family typical on G550 builds), supporting advanced flight management and long‑range operational capability. Typical mission profiles for this G550 configuration would emphasize transcontinental and intercontinental executive transport within its 6,750 nm range and high‑altitude cruise to 51,000 ft, operating from the owner’s Los Angeles base for both corporate and potential charter duties. Maintenance considerations align with twin BR710 powerplants and Honeywell avionics common to the platform, with lifecycle costs reflected in the stated $20,000,000 valuation.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP/G550 family occupies the long‑range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, high cruise speed and high‑altitude performance as reflected by this airframe’s 459 kts cruise and 51,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the segment typically include other long‑range large‑cabin jets; buyer and charter demand for G550s centers on a balance of range, cabin capacity and mature avionics like Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2012 Gulfstream GV‑SP (Gulfstream G550) include BR710 engine support, avionics upgrades over time, and market valuation near $20,000,000 for aircraft maintained to standard.
