Global Express gets a face lift
Nothing here that Gulfstream didn't introduce in 2002 with PlaneView. Falcon made their first deliveries using the same displays with their EASy cockpits in fourth quarter 2004. Yawn. GV -
Falcon EFB's
Not a Falcon guy, but we carry the regular paper Jeppesen enroute charts. Although the enroute charts are in PlaneBook (Gulfstream's proprietary EFB) for most pilots orientation is quicker and easier with a larger chart. GV -
Runway Incursion Reported at LAX

Challenger 604 off runway in Almaty
You are correct. There have been no other types of accidents attributed to Challenger wing design. The Challenger uses a high wing loading, buffet limited, supercritical wing design and is subject to the limitations of that class of wings. The Challenger at Wichita did not crash because it was... -
Lear 45/40 Night Ops Glaring Windshield
The C-21A (LR-35A) had that issue at night. When I was in the C-21A qualification course at the 1375th at Scott AFB they told us to just land on the middle runway. GV -

Challenger 604 off runway in Almaty
Competent, steely-eyed Air Force pilot that he is, I don’t think SeaSpray is qualified to fully answer your question about GV wing design. As a part of the GV flight test certification program, I’ve flown the jet with heavy natural ice and extreme ice shapes simulating natural ice deforming... -

Runway Incursion Reported at LAX
You're right. That's the way it should me, but by virtue of stare decisis in administrative law (Administrator v. Merrell et.al), that is not the way it is. I have highlighted the important segments from the FAA's Interpretive ruling listed in my original post for your better understanding...- GVFlyer

Challenger 604 off runway in Almaty
Maybe so, but the Challenger and aircraft derived from it have a supercritical hard wing with nasty stall characteristics and this mishap seems very similar to other recent Challenger accidents. In the previous CL-600-2B16 accident at Birmingham the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB)... -

Basics on the Lear 45...
I like Lears. I thought Gulfstream should have purchased Learjet from Bombardier instead of Galaxy from the Pritzkers. These are the numbers I have for the Lear 45XR. Cabin dimensions: 19'9" L x 4'11" H x 5'1" W Cabin volume: 386 Cu. Ft. Baggage volume: 65 Cu. Ft. Max T/O Wt.: 21,500 lbs... -

airplane advice
I don't know where you read this. The only chatter in Europe that I have heard is that a few airports are considering what is termed "marginal compliance". This is actually a higher noise standard (somewhere between Stage III and Stage IV) which would allow these airports to ban aircraft not... -

Here's the answer to the other two. The G-III AC electrical system is fundamentally the same as the G-IV electrical system. You'll see everything on a G-II from the original Litton Carousels on up. I'd probably look for a pair of Universal UNS-1Ms or equivalent. On a G-III, Dual Bendix... -

I haven't flown a GII / GIII lately, but I think this list is approximately correct. Only aircraft conforming to Stage 3 are permitted irrespective of weight in the following countries... -
Any Chrysler Pilots Here?
Although Nardelli is a fraternity brother of mine, he's a hard guy to like. Home Depot's market valuation declined 40% during Nardelli's stint as CEO. His compensation was $240 million while he was "building the company down". Nardelli's abrasive personality and critical, autocratic... -

I like GEXDriver's recommendation. A G-II will cost $1.5 - 2.7 million, carry a dozen people 2,400 nm with a DOC of $4,244 / hr. A G-IIB goes for $2.3 - 3.5 million and will fly 3,500 nm at a DOC of $4,035 / hr. The G-III will set you back $5.5 - $7.5 million and fly 3,600 nm at a DOC of... -
