Gulfstream G500 Overview
The Gulfstream G500 is a heavy jet manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace, produced from 2018-present. Classified as a large-cabin aircraft, the Gulfstream G500 carries up to 19 passengers at a maximum cruise speed of 516 knots with a range of 5,200 nautical miles — placing it squarely in the charter and corporate flight segment for transcontinental and international missions.
The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 3 active Gulfstream G500 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW814GA, each producing 15,144 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 516 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 488 kts (Mach 0.85) for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 51,000 feet puts the Gulfstream G500 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 5,300 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 5,200 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Gulfstream G500 handles coast-to-coast operations with fuel reserves, and reaches many European destinations from the Eastern seaboard. Typical hourly operating costs range from $5,500-$8,000 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Gulfstream G500 cabin measures 41.5 ft long, 7.6 ft wide, and 6.2 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 19 passengers, with 175 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Honeywell Symmetry avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Market Position
First Gulfstream with fly-by-wire and Symmetry flight deck. The Gulfstream G500 continues to serve corporate, charter, and private operators worldwide, supported by a strong aftermarket network and ongoing manufacturer support.
