C-FORB Aircraft Overview
C-FORB is a Gulfstream GIV registered in Canada with serial number 1336. This heavy-cabin jet operates in the wide-body segment of business aviation, positioned between super-midsize platforms and ultra-long-range flagships. The aircraft is associated with Chartright Air Inc., registered through the TCCA.
Gulfstream GIV Market Position
The Gulfstream IV and IV-SP built Gulfstream's reputation in the heavy jet market across nearly two decades of production from 1987 to 2003. Over 530 were delivered. The GIV-SP variant added performance improvements including higher gross weights. The type remains widely operated, with a robust MRO and parts support network.
Performance Profile
The Gulfstream GIV delivers 476-knot cruise speeds with a maximum range of 4,220 nautical miles under standard fuel reserves. That range covers most transcontinental routes nonstop and select transatlantic pairings with favorable winds. Power comes from 2x Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8. The 45,000-foot ceiling provides routing flexibility above airline corridors and most icing layers.
Mission Profile
Heavy jets are the workhorses of corporate flight departments and head-of-state operations. The Gulfstream GIV accommodates up to 16 passengers in a cabin configured for meetings, rest, and extended travel. Baggage capacity and galley provisions support multi-day trips without the logistical constraints of smaller platforms.
Charter & Availability
C-FORB is registered in Canada under the TCCA. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Gulfstream GIV platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Heavy jets carry higher repositioning costs than midsize aircraft. If the aircraft is based far from your departure airport, a deadhead leg adds significant cost. Inquire about one-way availability or empty-leg positioning to reduce the total trip expense.
