Gulfstream Aerospace has announced that more than 100 customer pilots have earned type rating for the Gulfstream G700 from the FlightSafety International training centre in Savannah, Georgia, since the aircraft earned FAA type certification on 29 March 2024.
In addition to the 100 customer pilots who have earned the G700 type rating, 80 Gulfstream corporate pilots and more than 20 FlightSafety International G700 instructors have earned their G700 type rating.
“Pilots are coming to Savannah from around the world to earn their G700 type rating as aircraft deliveries increase,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “Thanks to the innovative and intuitive Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck and the maturity of the G700 programme, the ease with which customers are taking delivery is impressive.”
The G700 features Gulfstream’s award-winning Symmetry Flight Deck with active control sidesticks and extensive use of touchscreen technology paired with Phase-of-Flight intelligence designed to reduce pilot workload and flight start-up time. The flight deck also includes Gulfstream’s new Combined Vision System (CVS) and the award-winning Predictive Landing Performance System. CVS integrates Gulfstream’s Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS) into a single on-screen image shown on both the primary flight display and dual head-up display (HUD).
In addition to FAA and EASA type certifications, the G700 has earned type certificate validations in nine nations, most recently from the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority.
