GII, GIIB, GIII differences...

[Flyinjunk]

Ok how bout diffs between ASC190 and non 190ed G-IVs????

Anybody............anybody........Bueller..............

 

[TIS]

Hmmm. Lemme get out my ASC list here

Increased T.O. Weight - 74,600#

Increased Landing Weight - 66,000#

And you wanted differences so that T.O. weight is up from 73,200#, and that landing weight is up from 58,500#.

Asc 190

I'll give it a try. I believe the pattern on the main gear wheels is different if it has been 190'd. That is about the only way I can think of by looking at it from the outside to tell.

 

[TIS]

Now, what does ASC-320 do?

Hint: It has to do with what ASC 190 does.

TIS true

And While we're at it...

...why DOES the G-V have that kink at the top of the vertical stab? I think I know the answer but I've only heard it second-hand.

The sat com antenna is located under that bump.

ASC 190 aircraft have the Dunlop wheels and brakes.
Normal g4's have the Goodyear wheels.

ASC 190 raises the ldg weight to 66,000#, This gives you the capability of landing/tankering an additional 20,000#'s of fuel.

ASC 320. The problem is ldg at 66,000# makes the g4 into a Cat D aircraft (ldg, circiling mins). Certian airports don't have cat D mins or that cat D mins become a deterent (Aspen). Not everyone lands a g4 @ 66,000# or need to tanker fuel on every leg. So Gulfstream was able to talk the feds into letting them change the max ldg weight to and from 66,000 pounds as necessary. This allows the operator to use cat c and d mins as req.
All G4Sp and G450's have asc190 incorporated.

 

[TIS]

I'm talking about...

...the kink in the leading edge of the stab - the one that makes it look like an MD-87 tail.

The other stuff's right though!

Gulfstream Jeopardy

Gulfstream trivia for $500 Alex.......

How can you easily tell the difference between a GV and a G550 parked on the ramp?

 

[Brett Hull]

The seventh cabin window.

 

[TAG2]

The G550 will have the EVS mounted on the underside of the nose cone.

 

[sidesaddle]

Mr. Hull is correct.

Tag2, I have only seen the EVS on 550's so far, but it will also be available on the 500's, 450's, and 350's. It may be available as a retrofit for some of the others too. (like your G-IV or a V ???)

 

[Brett Hull]

Sweet! Now I just need to convince someone to hire me to fly one!

Oh, and I'll take swords for $48,000 Alex.

 

[TAG2]

Yeah, I think the EVS will be/or is available with any HUD. I thought of that AFTER I pushed the post button. The 350,400,450,550 will all have PlaneView and EVS standard, I believe. Gulfstream is striving to standardize their assembly lines as much as possible.

 

[G4G5]

Correct me if I am wrong but the distance from the main cabin door to the left seat cockpit window is different from the G4/400 to the G450. GAC wants commonality between the G450 and the G550 so they can build a common cockpit.

The door on the 450 is moved forward to give the folks paying the bills even more room.

Bonus points?
