Falcon Capt said:This because the G-350/G-450 now share the G-V systems completely. They are very different from the G-IV in that respect (which is huge)... The only common thing between the G-IV and the G-350/450 is the airframe and engines (however the 350/450 are a different dash number and they now have FADEC, they also now have the G-V NORDAM TR's as well). Even the airframe of the 350/450 has been tweeked vs. the G-IV.
mzaharis said:This is pretty academic to me, but this one has always bothered me. I can understand why the G350/450/500/550 have the same rating. I can understand why the IV and the 350 and 450 don't share ratings. But why do the V and the 500/550 share ratings? The difference between a V and a Planeview cockpit looks pretty substantial.
The only real difference between the 5 and the 550 is the cockpit. Their are some minor differences (like APU air available for T/O) but nothing significant. Other then that the systems are much closer then a 757 is to a 767 or a Falcon 50 is to a Falcon 900ex. While a non SP(no asc 166, brake by wire) G4 has signifficant differences from a G550 or even a G350
Could a V pilot get into a 550 without a differences course? Does someone with a V rating need an additional LOA for the 350/450/500/550, for the Planeview cockpit?
OK, here is a rundown from GVFlyer about the improvements that make the G-450 better that the G-IV:semperfido said:how about the wing (new or not?), vspeeds (lower than 4?), brakes (dare i ask), elec sys (like 550?) etc, etc. just asking because i am going to school on the 450 soon and don't know much about it. know about g4, g5 & g550, but only what i read on G's website about 450.
Looks like great machines said:Capt,
Are you guys phasing out the falcons for the G450's or just adding some new birds?
Also, what was with the crowd of your folks I saw the other day at TEB. I think I counted three of your airplanes on the ramp at different times during the day. I overheard one crew mention the word "punishment" (smiling of course!)

Falcon Capt said:As far as why we were there... Well I could tell ya, but then I'd have to... well, you know the rest...
What are the 10, and which one couldn't they improve?GVFlyer said:The company took the top 10 high-removal items on the GIV and were able to improve nine of them on the G450.
