Let me remind you how the G350 compares to the Legacy.
A 12 month Dispatch Reliability of 99.85% - Legacy ?
Hidden Data, but if WSCofDdriver says it never breaks, we are all supposed to believe him... He has been SO accurate and forthcoming with all the other data!

Range - Normal Cruise: 3,800 nm @ M 0.80 - Legacy 3220 nm@ M 0.74 / 2950 nm @ M 0.78
Range - High Speed Cruise: 3,100 nm @ M 0.85 - Legacy range at M 0.80 not published
WHOA! DOGGIE!!!! What happened to the mere 150 NM range penalty WSCofDdriver claimed when speeding up from Mach 0.74 to Mach 0.80??? So now we see the REAL numbers, a 270 NM range penalty when speeding up from Mach 0.74 up to only Mach 0.78, this would simply lead one to believe that there would be a significantly large range penalty if speed was increased to Mach 0.80, we all know about Drag Polars, my guess... we would see a range at Mach 0.80 of around 2800 NM (actually probably a tad less, but I'll be generous)... Oh, and WSCofDdriver, here is the stuff from Embraers web site... This even shows it utilizing FL410 and still only getting 3250 NM range (at Mach 0.74)

Max. Cruise Speed: M 0.88 - Legacy M 0.80
Max speed is Mach 0.80, and WSCofDdriver is trying to claim he can get almost max range at max speed??? Someone slept through aerodynamics class...

Min. initial Alt: FL410 - Legacy FL370
FL370, right where an RJ should be, out of our way!
GVFlyer said:
Max. Alt: FL450 (Cabin Alt. 5980 ft.) - Legacy FL390 (8100 ft) / FL410 (8800 ft.)
8,800 ft cabin altitude??? Do the masks deploy so the pax don't pass out???
GVFlyer said:
T/O Dist MGTOW: 5,050 - Legacy 5,770
Hey, it's an RJ, oh wait, it's not an RJ, oh wait, it IS an RJ... WSCofDdriver can't make up his mind if it is or isn't like the RJ... But from the long runway numbers, I'd say it is an RJ...
GVFlyer said:
Cabin Dimensions: 40'4"L X 6'2"H X 7'4" W - Legacy 43L (including cockpit) X 5'10" H X 6'11" W
Now, now... Mini-Me needs an airplane too!
GVFlyer said:
Max. Load w/ full fuel: 2,858 lb - Legacy 1,605 lb
Marketing that BIG cabin but not the performance to fill it up and go long range, hhmmm....
GVFlyer said:
Does Legacy have a jet on standby to fly parts to customers who are AOG?
No need, it NEVER breaks, according to WSCofDdriver... And by golly, if it does, you can just walk over to the terminal and pull a part off of one of the RJ's... oh wait, it's not an RJ, oh wait, it IS an RJ...
GVFlyer said:
And by the way, your little apochryphal anecdote about the G550 captain who could not find a lens is absurd - if Gulfstream does not have a part in inventory, they will pull it off an in-production aircraft coming down the production line, put it on the G100 Airborne Product Support airplane and fly it to you.
Not surprising, yet more inaccuracies, hey WSCodDdriver, were/are you a used car salesman on the side???
For those of you tuning in late...
WSCofDdriver = LegacyIIDriver, vraciu, LegacyDriver, Skull-One (yes, the one and famous)
WSCofD = Whistling S-Can of Death = Embraer Legacy (This accurate name given by a 2,000+ hour in type EMB-135/145 Pilot)
