Well boys, it looks like LegacyDriver is back for an unprecidented 4th return as "LegacyIIDriver"...

I guess he got tired of his other screennames...

Skull-One (yes, the infamous "Wrongfully Terminated RJ Captain" returns for a fourth time!)
LegacyDriver

When will the fun ever end???

But wait, with the new software upgrade...

Prepare to be inundated with "Legends of the Legacy"!!!

What's the new software upgrade?

Supposedly with the "New Software Upgrade" the WSofD will be able to attain FL410 vs. of FL390 or something of the sort...

I talked to an Embraer rep last month and he told me they will not certify the 145 to more than 370 because it is not necessary. They flew the plane to 440 with no problems.

I flew out to Phoenix yesterday in my little Falcon and spotted a WSofD parked next to a GV on Cutter's ramp; it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which one was the better ride........the Falcon of course

And why would it not be "Necessary"??? Weather never gets above FL370? Turbulence is never less above FL370? The engines aren't more efficient above FL370? Winds aren't more favorable above FL370?

C'Mon, give me a break, anyone who says something that stupid is trying to make up for their products shortfallings... Yeah, it probably went to FL440 once, green with no interior (ie. weight)...

I doubt that, we can get to FL370 at 1500 fpm.
I guess not necessary because it was suposed to be a regional jet.
Also, that's what he said, not what I said.

Hands down the GV

I'm sure GVFlyer can give us the real story on this, but I'll bet to re-certify the airplane to 410 would require much more work than it's worth; maybe a total rerun of some major tests on design, systems and structure, I'm sure it's not something easy as just a "paperwork change". That's probably the reason why Gulfstream didn't increase the maximum certified altitude of the G350/G450, IMHO! One question for you GV', why did you guys lower the gross weight of the G450?

BTW, on my flight to and from Phoenix, the rides were light to moderate all the way between Chicago to Pueblo below 410........all ther corporate guys were 410 and above in smooth air It's nice to have that option to climb out of the turbulence and not "ride it out" for 3 hours!
