G450/g550
 
Flight,

I am interested in any comments about these fine aircraft (maintenance and/or pilot input). I will be going to school in the next 4 months and would appreciate anyone willing to share their extertise.

Thanks,

Kevin

Ok, I guess no one likes the Gulfstream 450/550's. I bet I will :)

So, you will have experience flying both the Falcon 7X and the G450/550?

Lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

Have you flown for several different companies or just one that likes new and different airplanes? I'm not asking for you to disclose who you work for, just curious because from previous posts is seems like you have been fortunate enough to fly Falcons, Gulfstreams, and Globals.

It is a great airplane from a ground handling perspective! :D

I am sure that helps immensely.:p

7X, where are you going to do your training?

I was a 450 sim instructor for a short time in SAV. I loved the plane, loved SAV. You will find the avionics similar and the performance spectacular.

Not familiar with the FBW in the 7X but find the A320 FBW sloppy. OTOH, the G450/550 is a busier plane with really ancient systems behind the fancy glass.

Enjoy!

7X can be buggy!...but no way can the FBW be called sloppy.

IMO, nicest handling airplane I have flown.

Disclaimer: I never flew an A320 or another FBW plane.

I have experience in the 7x, but not the G450/550....yet :)

Lucky, absolutely.

Hmmm...Sorry Red if I gave you the impressions that I have flown Gulfstreams and Globals. I have not....just Hawkers, Citations and Falcons.
