[simbo]

Is the nose gear door supposed to be up also? Looks like it is down in the pictures.

G4G5- how many low passes before fuel is an issue and they determine that no, the gear is not coming down, time to land?

(going back to other thread...)

Bob Guilford eh, Who the "F" is this idiot? I would love to do a dawn pancake flying with him, "expert" mary schavio and John scott.

John scott, just recomended that they pump the fuel out of the right wing and into the left wing to prevent a fire when the wing scrapes. totaly Mcguyver this guy is undervalued

They're reporting that, in conjunction with Gulfstream support, they were able to get the gear down.

Guess the support contract didn't transfer until halfway through the flight, huh?

They could go around forever the low fuel lights don't come on until around 800-900 lbs per side remain. If they had enough fuel to get to CYYZ then they will be going around for quite a while

Aircraft registered 11/03/05 expires 12/03/05. That's what they get for trying to take a 30 day pink slip registration out of the country.

The pink slip registration is good for 90 days. A telegraphic is good for 30 days and is good for international. ExpressJet uses the telegraphic all the time for 121 flying international on the newly delivered airplanes.

It sequences closed after the main doors have closed, sine the right main door has not closed it will remain open

 

[G4G5]

Can a GV dump fuel?

No, it can not dump fuel.
