Gulfstream IV/SP Description

The Gulfstream IV/SP is the second iteration in the popular G-IV series. The GIV-SP is a long-range airplane that seats up to 16 passengers in three discreet living areas. The most popular configuration has seating for 14 passengers and includes a 4-place club arrangement in the forward section, a 2-place club and divan in the mid-cabin, and 4-place conference seating in the aft section. Other configurations are available with seating options for 12 or 16 passengers. A full-service galley can be located in either the forward compartment or the aft section, but the most popular configuration is the aft galley. The baggage compartment, offering 169 cubic feet of space, is accessible in flight.

The Gulfstream IV entered service in 1987 and was upgraded to the GIV-SP version in 1993. After serial number 1500, GIV-SP models were modified and renamed the G400. As part of this modification, the brake-by-wire system was replaced with a hydro-mechanical system, landing gear was improved, and upgraded avionics were installed. Over 300 Gulfstream IV/SP aircraft were built, and production ended in 2002 with the creation of the shorter-range G300.

The government and military are the primary operators. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration operates a GIV-SP (N49RF) modified to fly scientists and crew members at 45,000 feet around tropical cyclones. The C-20H is a GIV-SP model operated by the U.S. Air Force in a command/executive transport role. The C-20J is a GIV-SP model operated by the U.S. Army in a command/executive transport role.
