N108DU1990 Gulfstream IV

Overview

The airframe bearing tail N108DU is a 1990-built Gulfstream Aerospace G-IV, serial number 1149, type-certificated as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport. It is registered in the United States and is owned by BD Giv 3 LLC, an LLC based in Sanford, FL, US. Maintenance status and detailed historical transactions beyond the current owner are not published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific G-IV reflects the typical executive layout capable of accommodating 14-19 passengers in a comfortable configuration while being certificated for up to 22 passengers for higher-density operations. In service, aircraft of this configuration commonly perform long-range executive transport, transcontinental and transoceanic hops within the aircraft’s 4,220 nm capability, and high-speed cruise operations near 460 kts to meet business schedule demands. Based at Sanford, FL under the registered owner, the aircraft would be operated to exploit its high-altitude capability up to 45,000 ft and benefit from the twin Rolls-Royce Tay engines’ thrust rating of 13,850 lbf each during high-weight cruise and climb profiles. Cabin fit and specific avionics suite for this airframe are not published in the supplied data.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream G-IV family occupies a long-range, large-cabin business-jet niche, offering transcontinental performance and higher passenger density compared with smaller light jets. Competitors typically include other large-cabin types that trade range and cabin volume for age and operating cost. Resale and maintenance considerations for this aircraft hinge on the life-limited components of the Rolls-Royce Tay engines and historical records that are not detailed in the supplied data.
