What should I check when buying a used Gulfstream GV / G550?
On a used Gulfstream GV / G550, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Gulfstream GV / G550

Aircraft overview

The Gulfstream GV / G550 is Gulfstream’s large cabin, ultra long range business jet family, positioned above the GIV series and distinct from the later G500 and G600 models. The Gulfstream GV first flew in 1995 and entered service in 1997, with production running into the early 2000s. The Gulfstream G550, introduced as its upgraded successor, first flew in 2002 and remained in production until 2021. The type matters in the used market because it established a practical intercontinental standard for private aircraft, combining long range, high altitude capability and a full size cabin without moving into airliner based aircraft.

Performance & specifications

Typical long range cruise is around Mach 0.80, with higher speed cruise commonly planned near Mach 0.85. The Gulfstream GV is known for a maximum range of about 6,500 nautical miles, while the Gulfstream G550 is typically quoted at about 6,750 nautical miles under NBAA IFR assumptions. Both models are certified to 51,000 feet. The GV is powered by two Rolls Royce BR710 A1 engines, while the G550 uses Rolls Royce BR710 C4 engines. Published payload figures vary by serial number, interior and equipment fit, but the G550 is commonly associated with a maximum payload in the mid 6,000 lb range, with full fuel payload dependent on configuration.

Cabin & avionics

The cabin normally seats 14 to 19 passengers, depending on floorplan, with zones for club seating, conference or dining, divans and a private aft area. The cabin is approximately 43 feet long, 7 feet 3 inches wide and 6 feet 2 inches high, excluding cockpit and baggage areas. The Gulfstream GV was delivered with Honeywell based avionics typical of its era, while the Gulfstream G550 introduced the Gulfstream PlaneView flight deck, based on Honeywell Primus Epic architecture, with large displays and Gulfstream’s Enhanced Vision System. Buyers should verify current navigation compliance, cabin management upgrades, connectivity and display retrofit status.

Buying & value

Key pre purchase checks include engine program status, remaining life limited parts, major inspection timing, auxiliary power unit condition, corrosion history, paint and interior age, and avionics upgrade records. Gulfstream GV aircraft generally trade as lower acquisition cost ultra long range jets, often requiring closer review of avionics modernization and maintenance exposure. Gulfstream G550 aircraft command higher values due to later production years, PlaneView avionics, stronger range performance and broader institutional acceptance. Based on current PlaneFox listing data, asking prices average about EUR 9,340,000, with examples ranging from EUR 4,310,000 to EUR 18,980,000, reflecting age, total time, maintenance status and specification.
