The installed powerplants are Honeywell AS907-2-1G turbofans with a thrust rating of 7,765 lb each, supporting typical G280 mission profiles that emphasize transcontinental and intercontinental range with efficient cruise at high subsonic speeds. The listed weight class for the airframe is over 20,000 lbs and the airworthiness classification is standard/transport. Available operational records for this registration show a documented flight on 2020-08-25 operating under call sign GLF21 with a departure and arrival at KDAL (Dallas, TX), a local-departure time near 11:40 AM CDT and arrival near 04:53 PM CDT (total time noted 5h 13m).

Model

Context The Gulfstream G280 (originally developed as a follow-on to the G200) is a two-engine business jet produced under a collaboration between IAI and Gulfstream, with deliveries beginning in the 2010s. The model demonstrated a long-range capability in certification testing, with a referenced maximum ferry/range figure of approximately 3,600 nmi at Mach 0.80 in published type information. The G280 program emphasized improved wing aerodynamics, modernized cockpit and systems, and higher productivity for typical corporate missions such as transcontinental and intercontinental trips with small passenger complements. Common operator missions include international city-pair travel, corporate shuttle duties and executive transport where range, runway performance and cabin comfort are prioritized. The type competes in the super-mid to large super-mid category and has been positioned against other mid-to long-range business jets in the market. Known characteristics of the type include a high-altitude cruise capability, efficient twin-engine turbofan operation and a cabin sized for corporate layouts up to the low-20s in seating depending on configuration. N200GA’s recorded configuration and engine fit are consistent with the production G280 specification set for 2020 deliveries.
