Gulfstream GV

The Gulfstream GV is a business or charter pilots dream. Without going into too much detail in regards to passenger comforts, but rest assured, uncomfortable, complaining passengers you will never have! The 7ft 4in wide cabin will prevent passenger claustrophobia and offers a serene open cabin. In the cockpit you find Gulfsteams six display panel, which replaces most of your standard instrumentation, and if fitted with the optional PlaneDeck system, based on Honeywell integrated avionics suite, gives you enhanced situational awareness in a zero visibility condition. The infrared video gives the pilot an uninterrupted view of the landscape, making visual contact with the runway, markers and taxiways easy and safe.

Much of the piloting tasks for the GV are automated. The autothrottles, and autothrottle takeoff, will bring the thrustlevers forward automatically. The flight management system, make takeoffs less stressful by taking the currant conditions and figuring the EPRs, and Vspeed and the FADEC keeps the two Rolls-Royce BR710A1-10 from ever reaching their stress limits. Put into the autopilot the climb rate, speed, and altitude and the autothrottle adjusts the engine throttles precisely. In the event of a rapid cabin decompression, and automated function called Emergency Descent Mode is called into action, and the GV will automatically go into a left hand bank, dive, and level off around 15,000 ft.
