Ultra, I'm not sure what you need the weights for but NJA G200's are set up completely different than any other 200's on the market. The max ramp and max takeoff weights are 200 pounds heavier than any other 200 out there. Again, not sure what you're needing this information for but be careful.

Are you from PIT?

Thanks for the intel G200. Not from PIT, but went to college just north of there.

NJ just canceled and dumped several G200's on the market that we are considering. And I knew they had some slightly different weights. So we're looking at mission profiles, etc...

thanks

Wait...NJA's G200s have higher weights (and therefore 200lb more useful load) than any other Gulfstream 200? Is that what you're saying?

Yes, that's what we are saying.

If they can do that for NJA, why not have all factory-new airplanes with those weights and offer a 200lb weight increase ASC to other G200 operators?

With that airplane's paltry full-tanks useful load, I can't help but think it'd help generate more sales...both in the new & used aircraft markets.

Well, new sales are not an issue since the airframe is going out of production. So it may not make sense to go through the cost of developing an ASC for the existing GALX/G200 airframes that are out there. Just a thought.

But I would agree, that 200 pounds helps big-time. Looks to me like a NJ200 can go anywhere non-stop CONUS with the seats filled, and in either direction. Looks to me you can top it off and still put 4 bodies in it, if they are not fatties!. And that's not a plane you launching across the pond. so for most ops, it's a good transcon/Hawaii bird with most of the seats filled.
