About the Gulfstream G200

Type certificated 2001 Source: FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet

Overview

The Gulfstream G200 is a super-midsize business jet that began life as the IAI Galaxy and was renamed in 2001 when General Dynamics folded Galaxy Aerospace into Gulfstream. The two names mark the same type certificate and the same airplane, with early serials wearing the Galaxy plate, so a used listing may carry either name for the same aircraft. It pairs a wide, stand-up cabin with a 45,000 ft ceiling and Mach 0.84 cruise near 470 KTAS, delivering about 3,400 nm of range on two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A turbofans.

For a buyer, the G200 is the wide-cabin, transcontinental step above the narrow Gulfstream G100: it trades short-field agility for a far roomier cabin and more range, at a higher fuel burn. It competes with the Bombardier Challenger 300 and Citation Sovereign on the used market, and its clean-sheet successor, the Gulfstream G280, was built specifically to fix the G200’s two weak points, field length and fuel economy.

Key Features for GA Buyers

Wide stand-up cabin: the Galaxy fuselage is among the widest in the super-midsize class, a true six-foot-plus cabin that seats eight, well beyond the round Astra/G100 cross-section.
Transcontinental range: about 3,400 nm at long-range cruise, enough for most US coast-to-coast pairs or a North Atlantic crossing with NBAA IFR reserves.
Speed and altitude: Mach 0.84 top cruise near 470 KTAS and a 45,000 ft ceiling put it above most weather and airline traffic.

Trade-offs

Runway-hungry: balanced field length runs near 6,000 ft at gross weight, long for the class and the single trait the G280 was designed to correct; hot-and-high departures need careful planning.
Fuel burn: the PW306A pair burns roughly 265 to 280 gph, so the G200 is cheaper to acquire than to fly, the classic legacy super-midsize economics.
Engine-program exposure: the PW306A is maintained on-condition with no fixed overhaul life, so program enrollment (ESP or equivalent) is the biggest single used-value swing; an off-program engine near a major inspection carries large reserve risk.
