N889LV Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N889LV is powered by Varies, each producing Varies. The Gulfstream Miscellaneous cruises at 450 knots with a range of 3,500 nautical miles under standard reserves. This covers most transcontinental routes without a fuel stop.
Mission Profile
N889LV's Gulfstream Miscellaneous cabin accommodates 14 passengers across 40.0 ft of usable length. At 7.3 ft wide and 6.1 ft tall, the cross-section allows comfortable club seating, a conference group, and a divan for longer flights.
Charter Authorization
N889LV operates under a Part 135 certificate for on-demand charter. The Gulfstream Miscellaneous's coast-to-coast range and 14-passenger cabin make it a strong fit for corporate group travel. Contact us for availability.
Insider Note
Heavy jets represent the most active segment in the pre-owned market. Well-maintained Gulfstream Miscellaneous airframes with low hours and current inspections trade quickly. N889LV's 2022 build year and continuous airworthiness record are the data points buyers evaluate first.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N889LV, a 2022 Beechcraft under , represents the aircraft that made turboprop aviation a genuine alternative to jets. Below is the market intelligence.
Fleet Position
Over 7,600 King Airs and Beechcraft twins are in service worldwide. FAA data shows N889LV based in 14 passengers, . The King Air dominates the U.S. turboprop market: more installed aircraft, more available parts, more qualified mechanics, and more type-rated pilots than any competing turboprop platform.
Charter Availability
N889LV is Part 135 charter authorized. King Air charter rates range from $1,600 to $2,800 per flight hour, the most affordable category in turbine-powered aviation. The King Air serves routes under 800 nm where jet speed is unnecessary but pressurization, weather capability, and twin-engine safety are required.
Market Position
N889LV is a current-generation 2022 King Air 360 or 260 at $7M to $8M (new). The 360/260 feature the Collins Pro Line Fusion touchscreen avionics, autothrottle, and digital pressurization. These aircraft represent 60 years of King Air evolution in the most refined form.
At new pricing, the King Air 360 competes with the Pilatus PC-12 ($5.5M) and Cessna Caravan ($3M). The King Air offers twin-engine safety, more cabin volume, and faster cruise speed. The PC-12 is more fuel-efficient with a single engine. The choice depends on mission requirements: twin-engine operations favor the King Air; single-engine economy favors the PC-12.
Mission Profile
Core strength: the most proven turboprop platform in aviation history. Over 60 million King Air flight hours logged. PT6A engines with 99.99% dispatch reliability. Parts available at every airport with a maintenance shop. No other turboprop approaches the King Air's operational track record.
When to Choose Something Else
Do not charter a King Air for time-critical missions over 400 nm. The speed differential versus jets compounds rapidly on longer routes. A Citation V saves 25+ minutes on a 600 nm leg and 45+ minutes on a 1,000 nm leg.
Ownership & Operations
Part 91 operations cover owner-flown and company-flown aircraft under general operating rules. Part 135 governs on-demand air charter, requiring higher crew qualifications, maintenance standards, and operational oversight. An aircraft can operate under both parts: Part 91 for owner use and Part 135 when offered for charter revenue. Dual-use arrangements offset ownership costs by generating charter income during idle periods.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Pre-purchase inspections are non-negotiable in aircraft acquisitions. A qualified maintenance facility conducts a detailed review of airframe, engines, avionics, and records. Inspection costs range from $15,000 to $75,000 depending on aircraft size and complexity. Findings from the pre-buy determine final pricing, identify upcoming maintenance events, and reveal any damage history that affects value.
Charter Market Context
Charter demand for business jets follows seasonal and economic patterns. Q4 (October through December) sees peak demand driven by year-end business travel, holiday flights, and tax planning (asset purchases before December 31). Q1 starts strong with CES, Davos, and Super Bowl driving specific route demand. Summer leisure travel to resort destinations creates predictable seasonal corridors.
