Gulfstream loss of cabin pressure question

So if you happen to be flying over Nepal, you're hosed anyway

Thank you gentlemen, that's very interesting. Perhaps the first step in a "refuse to crash" airplane. I wonder how long until airplanes will just turn away if the pilot aims at a the side of a mountain?

The Raytheon Premiere has the same capability. The technology isn't just for the "bigger" jets!

Saw a Global yesterday in PBI. What do you have to major in in college to buy one of those babys? Thing must be a couple of Mil at least.

Just a couple of mil, well $40M for a 2001 with 1300 hours. PM me if you are interested

To get you off the airway

Not really.

Yea, I'm pretty sure I'd want to stay on the airway. I suppose it banks to prevent negative G's. That's how I was always taught to do emergency descents.

Don't know why you'd want to do that. You'll reek havoc on ATC and TCAS (both TCAS I and especially TCAS II w/Rev. 7 equipped aircraft due to the RAs it's going to be YELLING at the unsuspecting crew of the other aircraft) equipped aircraft, and those without TCAS, you might just run into them, and we both know that would not be good. Airways are not unidirectional, so you run the risk of a head on collision or descending onto the top of another aircraft. Getting off the airway would be the the right thing to do.

I suppose it banks to prevent negative G's. That's how I was always taught to do emergency descents.

No, just like the G drivers have stated, it banks in order to initiate the 90 degree turn to exit the airway. This decent is not the same configuration as an emergency decent; I don't recall anyone saying the the boards came out.
