just had my first trip in our glex, which is about a week old. beautiful airplane, awesome cabin. what irks me is this: no AOA info. been flying a competing brand, and I have evidently gotten used to that info more than I realized. Plus this global is not quite as comfortable (maybe idiotproof) at altitude as a G. You really have to watch what you're doing when selecting when to step up on altitude. Definitely possible to be plowing along for a while waiting to lighten up, and that alpha info would sure be nice at that point...Never really seen a gulfstream level off and have trouble maintaining speed, and that kinda messes up the crew rest. If any experienced global guys would be kind enough to share any rules of thumb on cruise alt selection or any other wisdom, it'd be much appreciated.
thanks
