Operations & Cabin

The cabin is presented in a typical 13-passenger executive layout with an approximate cabin length of 45.1 ft, reflecting the common VIP interior arrangement for this airframe that prioritizes club seating, divans, and a forward or aft galley/refreshment area. With a long-range capability of 4,168 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, this specific G-IV is suited to transcontinental and transborder executive transport missions from its owner’s base in North Salt Lake, UT. The twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 engines, each rated at 13,850 lbf, define the airframe’s performance envelope and typical maintenance considerations, including engine shop visits governed by manufacturer and operator maintenance programs. No bespoke avionics fit or unique interior refurbishment details are published for this airframe in the supplied information.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream IV family occupies a long-range, large-cabin niche within the business jet market, offering transcontinental capability and a cruise ceiling of 45,000 ft, as exemplified by this Gulfstream Aerospace G-IV airframe. Competing models in the era and capability class include earlier large-cabin jets from Bombardier and Dassault; buyers and charter operators often value the G-IV for proven performance, comfortable cabin space for up to 13 passengers, and established maintenance support for Rolls-Royce Tay engines. Resale and operational considerations typically hinge on maintenance history, avionics refreshes, and interior condition, none of which are published in the provided dataset for this particular airframe.
