Netjets Gulfstreams & Globals - Coexisting?

What's the dimensions compared to a CRJ700?

Either way I'm pretty sure that most if not all guys at NJA could handle a MD-80 or 737 at the very least without more than a few hours of training.

However, a DC-9 at 120K is a completely different animal. How many all glass pilots could handle an aircraft with no altitude capture and round dials? They would be lost.

I'm pretty positive any pilot at NJA or any other airline could fly any plane with the normal amount of training. To say that "it takes a special breed to fly a DC-9 or Global" is absurd... How does a piston pilot go straight to a jet, or a CRJ/Global pilot go to a 747...You get trained for the a/c and its nuances(sp?)..

A 747 international Captain is no different skill wise to a NJA Ultra FO. (with the exception of having the experience in aircraft and conditions). And any pilot from the Ultra guy up to the 747 guy can learn a new a/c with normal training. Guarantee that Ultra SIC can outfly that 747 guy in an Ultra...



Any pilot who thinks they are better because they fly a certain piece of equipment is full of it..They just happen to be at the right place at the right time, and got hired into a certain piece of equipment...period.

To answer your question..... I'd do it the same way I hand flew a 1900 for two years. Push the nose over and level off, reduce power for cruise.....Or with an auto pilot I'd do it the way I was trained in class. Or however that particular autopilt works

Tune in the VOR and follow the course, pretty sure most learned that somewhere during their instrument training. Thats how I'd handle round dials....Wait kinda like I'm doing now after furlough from NJA.....Guess I can really fly round dials:beer:

It's just a plane, 'fer Chrissake's'. What one pilot can do, another can do.

CRJ-200:
87ft 10in x 69ft 7in x 20ft 5in
MGTW 53,000 lbs

Global XRS:
99ft 5in X 96ft x 25ft 6in
MGTW 99,500 lbs.

Typical BOW on the XRS is about 52,000lbs

Okey dokey then. There are 1500hr kids hopping into EMB-170s and CRJ-900s. BFD.

I went from a CRJ to a 747-200 with no problems whatsover. I'm no genius, but the only thing thats gonna hang people up is their own lack of "failure is not an option" attitude.....Plain and simple!

I always liked a quote from Captain John Cooke (British Airways, ret.) regarding flying the Concorde. It went something like "If you can fly a J-3 Cub, you can fly this aeroplane. The opposite is not necessarily true."

True, I felt I could fly the crap out of a jet, but in this 9000lb turboprop I feel just about average... Some of our SIC's with 4-5000 less hours than myself can definitely fly this turboprop better. (they have been in the plane much longer than myself)...

Men and women under 30 years of age fly the B2, F22, and every other military jet with far more complexity and level of work load than any civilian pilot, and they do just fine. I'll bet those who have such high opinions of themselves and dictate the terms for others to fly international never strapped on an ejection seat.

They are all just airplanes, no big deal. Knowledge of a few special things internationally, especially China and Africa, is all that is different, which could be covered in 3 hours of school. Keeping the female flight attendants happy? Priceless.
