N520LF Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N520LF's Gulfstream G200 cruises at 470 knots with 3,400 nautical miles of range under NBAA IFR reserves. The 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A produce 5,700 lbs per side, supporting operations up to 45,000 feet.
Mission Profile
The Gulfstream G200 seats up to 10 passengers in a 24.4 ft by 7.0 ft by 6.3 ft cabin. N520LF offers the stand-up headroom and flat-floor configurations that distinguish super-midsize from traditional midsize jets.
Charter Authorization
N520LF's operator holds a Part 135 certificate covering on-demand charter domestically and internationally. The Gulfstream G200's 3,400 NM range and 10-passenger cabin handle the majority of corporate charter missions.
Insider Note
The super-midsize segment has seen the most new-model competition in the last decade. N520LF's Gulfstream G200 competes against several strong alternatives, which keeps pre-owned pricing competitive. Buyers benefit from the options; operators benefit from the demand.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N520LF is a 2008 Gulfstream held by N520LF LLC. The Israeli-designed mid-cabin Gulfstreams offer the Gulfstream brand at sub-G550 pricing. This briefing covers positioning.
Fleet Position
Over 500 Astra/G100/G150/G200/G280 aircraft were produced. FAA data shows N520LF based in TUCSON, AZ. 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
N520LF 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
N520LF is a 2008 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.
