N3251K Aircraft Overview
N3251K is a Gulfstream G650ER registered in the United States with serial number on file. Ultra-long-range jets define the entry point for turbine-powered business aviation, offering jet speed and reliability with lower acquisition and operating costs than midsize or heavy platforms. The aircraft is registered under a corporation entity. The aircraft received its FAA airworthiness certificate on Feb 22, 2016, maintaining continuous certification for 10 years.
Gulfstream G650ER Market Position
The G650ER extends the G650 platform with additional fuel capacity, pushing range to 7,500 nautical miles. This enables nonstop routing between city pairs like New York to Hong Kong or São Paulo to Geneva. The ER variant is operationally identical to the standard G650 in cabin and systems, with the range extension coming entirely from fuel tankage.
Performance Profile
The Gulfstream G650ER cruises at 516 knots with a published range of 7500 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x Rolls-Royce BR725 A1-12. An operating ceiling of 51000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Ultra-long-range jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Gulfstream G650ER typically seats 19 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
Charter Authorization
N3251K operates under a Part 135 certificate held by ACP Jet Charters Inc., authorizing on-demand charter operations. Contact us for availability and routing.
Insider Note
Ultra-long-range jets access thousands of airports that larger aircraft cannot reach. Runway requirements are typically under 4,000 feet, opening up regional and county airports closer to the final destination. This can save an hour or more of ground transportation compared to flying into a major hub.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N3251K is a 2016 Gulfstream G650 registered to TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE. The G650 redefined ultra-long-range aviation when it entered service in 2012. Here is the operational context for this airframe.
Fleet Position
The G650/G650ER fleet numbers approximately 480 aircraft globally, with roughly 200 on U.S. registrations. FAA data confirms N3251K based in NORTH SALT LAKE, UT. The G650 is the flagship of North American business aviation, and availability for charter is limited due to high owner utilization rates. Expect 2 to 4 weeks advance booking for peak travel periods.
Charter Availability
N3251K is Part 135 charter authorized. G650 charter rates range from $12,000 to $18,000 per flight hour. International routing pushes this higher with crew augmentation, handling, and overflight fees. The G650 charter market is supply-constrained; fewer than 50 are available on U.S. Part 135 certificates at any time. Book 3 to 6 weeks in advance for international trips. Empty legs on G650s are rare and highly sought.
Market Position
N3251K is a 2016 mid-production G650. Pre-owned values sit at $38M to $48M. Mid-production aircraft incorporate Gulfstream's improvements from the first 150+ deliveries, including refined environmental control systems, updated software baselines, and manufacturing consistency that early-production aircraft sometimes lacked.
This vintage is the sweet spot for G650 acquisition. Enough depreciation to represent $15M to $25M in savings versus new, but low enough total time (typically 2,000 to 4,000 hours) that the aircraft has 15+ years of economically viable service remaining. Budget $1M to $1.5M annually for total operating costs at 400 hours per year including crew, hangar, insurance, and maintenance reserves.
Mission Profile
The G650 delivers three things no other business jet matches simultaneously: Mach 0.925 maximum speed (fastest in class), 7,000 to 7,500 nm range (furthest in class), and a 7.4-foot-wide cabin (widest in class below the Global 7500). For principals who value time, the speed advantage saves 30 to 60 minutes on a transatlantic crossing versus a Falcon 7X or Global 6000.
When to Choose Something Else
The G650 is not the right aircraft for short-field operations or mountain airports. Takeoff distance exceeds 6,000 feet at sea level. Aspen, Telluride, and Jackson Hole are either inaccessible or require significant payload restrictions. For routine mountain access, position in a G650 to a nearby long-runway airport and reposition via helicopter or turboprop for the final leg.
Ownership & Operations
Operating costs for business jets break into fixed and variable categories. Fixed costs (hangar, insurance, crew salaries, management fees) accrue whether the aircraft flies or not. Variable costs (fuel, maintenance reserves, landing fees, handling) scale with flight hours. Owners flying fewer than 200 hours annually often find charter or fractional ownership more economical than whole aircraft ownership.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Total time on airframe and engines is the primary metric for aircraft valuation. Lower-time aircraft command premium pricing but cost more upfront. Higher-time aircraft offer lower acquisition cost but carry higher near-term maintenance exposure. The break-even analysis depends on planned utilization: buyers flying 400+ hours annually amortize acquisition cost faster and tolerate higher initial investment.
Charter Market Context
Jet card programs and membership plans lock in hourly rates for guaranteed availability. Cards typically require a $50,000 to $500,000 deposit and offer 24 to 48 hour booking windows with fixed hourly pricing. The value depends on usage frequency: clients flying 25+ hours annually benefit from rate certainty and guaranteed availability. Below 25 hours, on-demand charter often provides better economics.
