N200GN Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Gulfstream Miscellaneous delivers 450 knots at cruise altitude with 3,500 nautical miles of range. N200GN's Varies produce Varies per side, supporting an operating ceiling of 45,000 feet. That altitude keeps the aircraft above most turbulence and commercial traffic.
Mission Profile
For operators flying 4-6 hour missions with 8-12 passengers, the Gulfstream Miscellaneous delivers the right balance. N200GN seats up to 14 in a 40.0 ft cabin with 7.3 ft width. Stand-up headroom at 6.1 ft means passengers move freely between zones.
Charter Authorization
N200GN's Part 135 certificate covers on-demand charter. The Gulfstream Miscellaneous handles the corporate missions that midsize jets cannot: larger passenger groups, longer legs, and the cabin volume for all-day travel.
Insider Note
One advantage of the heavy jet segment that gets overlooked: airport access. The Gulfstream Miscellaneous requires shorter runways than ultra-long-range platforms, opening up hundreds of additional airports. N200GN can reach regional fields that larger aircraft simply cannot use.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
The 2005 Gulfstream bearing registration N200GN is held by . The G200/G280 delivers Gulfstream cabin quality at super-midsize pricing.
Fleet Position
Over 500 Astra/G100/G150/G200/G280 aircraft were produced. FAA data shows N200GN based in 14 passengers, . These aircraft carry the Gulfstream brand, service network, and resale premium while competing at super-midsize price points against the Challenger 350 and Citation Longitude.
Charter Availability
N200GN is Part 135 charter authorized. G200/G280 charter rates range from $4,500 to $6,500 per flight hour. The Gulfstream name attracts charter clients who associate the brand with quality, even though these aircraft are manufactured by IAI in Israel rather than Gulfstream in Savannah.
Market Position
N200GN is a 2005 Gulfstream G200 or G150. The G200 (PW306A engines, 3,400 nm range) competes with the Challenger 350 at lower acquisition cost. The G150 (TFE731 engines, 2,950 nm range) serves as a mid-light jet with Gulfstream branding. Pre-owned values range from $3M to $8M.
The G200 represents strong value: Gulfstream brand equity, 3,400 nm transcontinental range, and a wide cabin at acquisition costs 30 to 50% below a Challenger 350. For flight departments that value the Gulfstream service network, the G200 is the most affordable entry point.
Mission Profile
Optimized for buyers who want Gulfstream quality at super-mid pricing. The G280's 7.2-foot-wide cabin is wider than the Challenger 350 (6.1 ft) and matches the Challenger 650 at 40% lower acquisition cost. For passengers who prioritize cabin width and brand prestige on domestic routes, the G280 delivers both.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip the G200/G280 if fleet depth and charter availability matter. The combined G200/G280 fleet is smaller than the Challenger 300/350/3500 family, which means fewer positioning options, thinner crew pools, and longer lead times for charter.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft ownership in the United States falls under FAA registration requirements. Every U.S.-registered aircraft carries an N-number that links to public records including owner name, address, airworthiness date, and certificate type. The FAA Aircraft Registry maintains this data and updates it as aircraft change hands. Prospective buyers use these records to verify ownership history, lien status, and maintenance compliance before committing to an acquisition.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Avionics modernization drives both capability and market value. Aircraft with legacy analog instruments trade at significant discounts to those with modern glass cockpits (Garmin G5000, Collins Pro Line Fusion, Honeywell Primus Epic). ADS-B Out compliance is now mandatory in U.S. controlled airspace. Buyers should factor avionics upgrade costs into their acquisition budget when evaluating older airframes.
Charter Market Context
Empty leg pricing offers 25 to 75% discounts on published charter rates. These opportunities arise when an aircraft needs to reposition from a drop-off point back to base or to the next pickup location. The tradeoff is schedule inflexibility: departure time, date, and route are fixed by the operator's existing itinerary. The Jet Finder maintains an empty leg alert system for frequent charter clients.
