Utilization
How steadily it has been used: flights, flying days and estimated hours against the type.
Not graded on utilization.
Not compared: only 18 similar aircraft were tracked, and grading needs 30.

The data behind it
Not compared: too few tracked aircraft of the type.How it travels
Its flying is spread across many routes.
11 of 46 flights, both directions.
Spread across many destinations.
12 flights crossed a border.
N985PK’s flying is spread across many routes. Its most-flown pair of airports carries 24% of flights, 11 of 46, counting both directions. Its top three pairs make up 33%, so about seven flights in ten go somewhere else. Of its 46 tracked flights, 12 (28%) crossed a border.
Fatigue, corrosion, engines and brakes
01 Fatigue
Not graded: not enough dataHow short were its legs? Airframes age by landings as well as by hours. Many short legs put more pressurization cycles on the structure for the same time in the air.
Also graded: short hops. Leg length is shown as context. See this chapter in the sample report →
02 Corrosion
Not graded: not enough dataWhere does it spend its nights? Where a jet sleeps shapes how fast it corrodes. Salt and damp overnight are what an inspector looks at first.
Also graded: damp air, freeze–thaw, near the coast and moisture in the air. See this chapter in the sample report →
03 Engines and brakes
Not graded: not enough dataHow hard were its airfields? Short, hot and high runways ask for more thrust on every takeoff and harder braking on every landing. That wear doesn’t show in the hours.
Also graded: hot, high takeoffs; density altitude; dust and dry climate. See this chapter in the sample report →

How this page is made
Everything here comes from N985PK’s ADS-B track, the position signal aircraft broadcast, over the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026. ADS-B misses some flights, so every count is a minimum. Flights appear seven days after they happen, by month only, and hours are estimated from time in the air; the logbook has the real totals. Airports, bases and exact dates are left out on purpose. How grades work: each graded measure is placed among the tracked Global 5000s against the middle aircraft, the 50th percentile. Between the 25th and 75th it is typical; outside that band it is gentler or harsher. Utilization is graded here for free; for the other chapters this page shows the middle value of the fleet and whether this aircraft sits inside the middle half or outside it. Their grades and values are in the report, not on this page. Owners and operators can ask us not to publish an aircraft’s activity.
