I didn't know this about GVs.

has anyone used the Honeywell GNS? It is the most worthless gns out there. we changed ours to universal a couple of years ago, it alot more strait foreward and simple. If GV's are all honeywell, more power to ya.

The GNS and NZ series of FMSs are at in 2 different playing arenas. It's truly like apples and oranges. I do not even think a GNS would be compatible with anything newer than a GIV. It's my understanding the SPZ suite is required to use Honeywell FMSs. For the most part, I think people think of GNSs as GNSs and not Honeywells.

Looks like we have to replace "Bonanza" with "VLJ" :

If it wasn't for the VLJ, this country would be overrun with doctors and lawyers!

When I was part timing I flew a GIV (with SPZ8400) that had a Global GNS installed in the #3 position. It looked to me like the installation would work in a GV. It has to be better then that losertrack that Gulfstream offers to those who don't purchase the third FMS.

Hi!

The VLJs have much better avionics and weather stuff than the Bonanazas. THe VLJs have much more reliable engines. THe VLJs can climb much higher than the Bonanzas, getting them out of most weather.

Avionics+:
THe Eclipse is VERY integrated, and the avionics work very well together, according to what I've read. If u have an engine failure in an Eclipse, the Eclipse HQ will no about it in about 30 secs. via sattelite downlink. The electronic monitoring in conjunction with preventative MX is going to be awesome. None of the VLJs have artificial vision stuff in them like the Gulfstreams do.
