N928DJ Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N928DJ carries the Gulfstream G500's proven performance profile: 516-knot cruise, 5,200 NM range, and a 51,000-foot ceiling. The 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW814GA are well-established powerplants with predictable maintenance intervals and strong support networks.
Mission Profile
N928DJ is configured for the missions that define heavy jet operations: full-day executive travel, team movements of 8-14 passengers, and routing that spans 2,000-4,000 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G500's 19-seat cabin at 41.5 ft by 7.6 ft provides the space.
Charter Authorization
Charter authorization is active for N928DJ under its Part 135 certificate. The Gulfstream G500 is positioned for domestic transcontinental and Caribbean routing. Contact The Jet Finder to check scheduling.
Insider Note
The Gulfstream G500 fleet includes a wide range of configurations and avionics suites across production years. N928DJ's 6023 vintage places it in a specific generation of the platform. Buyers comparing airframes should focus on avionics upgrade status, interior refurbishment date, and engine program enrollment rather than total airframe hours alone.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
The 2013 Gulfstream G650 carrying registration N928DJ belongs to SUN MERIDIAN LOS ANGELES LLC. Mach 0.925 maximum speed. 7,500 nm range. A cabin wider than most competitors at 7.4 feet. This briefing covers what those numbers mean operationally.
Fleet Position
The G650/G650ER fleet numbers approximately 480 aircraft globally, with roughly 200 on U.S. registrations. FAA data confirms N928DJ based in BREA, CA. 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
N928DJ 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
As a 2013 airframe, N928DJ is an early-production G650. These aircraft trade at $30M to $40M, which represents significant depreciation from original list pricing above $60M. Early G650s have the base 7,000 nm range (not the ER's 7,500 nm). The PlaneView II cockpit and cabin systems are current-generation, and Gulfstream's continuous improvement program has refined systems through service bulletins.
Pre-buy priorities: BR725 engine inspection status ($1M to $1.5M per engine HSI), 96-month inspection compliance, and cabin condition. Early G650 interiors may benefit from a refresh ($1.5M to $3M), but the fundamental cabin architecture remains current because the G650 has not been replaced. Unlike buying an early G550 that competes with a newer G600, the early G650 competes only with later G650s.
Mission Profile
Optimized for principals who travel intercontinentally on a regular cadence. The G650ER's 7,500 nm range eliminates fuel stops on routes that force competitors to land. Singapore to London nonstop. New York to Johannesburg nonstop. San Francisco to Hong Kong nonstop (with favorable winds). The cabin seats 13 to 19 in configurations ranging from executive conference to full sleeping suites.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip the G650 for domestic-only U.S. operations. At $12,000 to $18,000 per flight hour, a G650 on a New York to Miami leg costs roughly $35,000 for a 2.5-hour flight. A G550 handles the same route for $25,000. A Challenger 350 does it for $15,000. Unless your domestic flights connect to international legs on the same trip, the G650's ultra-long-range capability is unrecoverable overhead.
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.
