RESEARCH NOTES

About N147X

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This article covers the specific Gulfstream airframe N147X, a Gulfstream G-IV (GIV/SP) built in 1995 with manufacturer serial number 1263. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by Orion G LLC (an LLC based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US), which has been listed as the operator/home base in registry entries and sales listings. The airframe carries the US registration and has been marketed with avionics upgrades and connectivity options noted on multiple listings, with ownership and equipment changes documented in public records and broker descriptions. Condition and valuation remarks in listings highlight its executive interior and updated avionics fit for continued corporate operations.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of N147X is reported as a 12-place executive layout featuring a forward four-place club, a two-place mid club, and an aft arrangement with a four-place divan opposite a two-place club, supplemented by an aft galley and lavatory. Avionics listings for this airframe describe a PlaneDeck Primus/DU-885 style EFIS (also referenced as PlaneDeck Primus Elite DU-885), Honeywell TCAS II, Honeywell Primus 880 weather radar, and a Honeywell NZ-2010 FMS; some listings additionally note FANS-1A/CPDLC capability and GoGo Biz WiFi for inflight connectivity. Typical mission profiles for this G-IV/SP airframe from its Fort Lauderdale base include transcontinental and medium-long range executive transport within the 3,880 nm range capability, leveraging its cruise speed and high-altitude ceiling for efficient long-leg operations. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Rolls-Royce TAY engines and the advanced avionics suite documented for this serial.

Model & Market Context

The Gulfstream G-IV (GIV/SP) family occupies the large-cabin, long-range corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and high cruise speeds competitive with late-generation large business jets. Competing types include earlier Gulfstream models and large-cabin offerings from Bombardier and Dassault; the G-IV’s strengths are proven long-range performance and established maintenance support. For this 1995 airframe, buyer and charter demand is influenced by cabin configuration, avionics modernization (notably the PlaneDeck EFIS and FANS-1A), and engine maintenance status, all key factors in resale valuation and continued operational viability.
