GULFSTREAM ENHANCES AIRCRAFT SALES SUPPORT IN EUROPE AND AFRICA

Mon, 20 May 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 20, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced today it is increasing its sales and marketing efforts in Europe and Africa with the June opening of a sales and design center in London and the appointment of company-authorized independent sales representatives in the United Kingdom, central Europe, Turkey and Nigeria.

In addition, the company has positioned Pete Buresh, its regional vice president for International Aircraft Sales/Africa, in Cape Town, South Africa.

“These additional resources put us closer to our customers and position us for growth opportunities in these regions,” said Scott Neal, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Gulfstream. “The momentum we carry following the entry-into-service of our two new aircraft, the G650 and G280, makes this an ideal time for renewed focus, particularly in Europe, a traditionally strong business jet market.”

The London sales and design center will give European, African and other international customers convenient access to the acquisition and design stages of a Gulfstream business jet. Its centerpiece will be a showroom filled with a range of veneers, leathers and fabrics from which to create an aircraft interior.

The facility is located in the Mayfair district of central London.

Gulfstream’s new authorized sales representatives for aircraft transactions in Europe are Tim Leacock Aircraft Sales in the United Kingdom, ATP Aviation in Ankara, Turkey, and Loyd’s Aviation Group in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Gulfstream appointed Evergreen Apple Nigeria in Lagos to the same role.

Each firm has access to a network of entrepreneurs and operators that value and utilize business aviation. ATP Aviation and Loyd’s are Gulfstream operators. The latter has served as Gulfstream’s authorized sales representative in Russia for many years.

“All of these partners have extensive knowledge of Gulfstream aircraft and what models are the best fits for their respective markets,” Neal said. “Customers will appreciate their expertise and attention to service.”

Buresh, a 20-year Gulfstream employee, was named sales director for Africa in March 2010. He split time between Savannah and various locations in Africa before establishing a residence in Cape Town.

Gulfstream has approximately 65 aircraft based in Africa, including more than a third that are G450s or GIVs. Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa are each home to more than 10 company-built aircraft.

GULFSTREAM RECEIVES FAA APPROVAL FOR G650 ‘FORMS’ PROGRAM

Mon, 20 May 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 20, 2013— Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. recently received approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its G650 Flight Operations Risk Management Service (FORMS) program. The G650 FORMS program is the only in-service program with an FAA-approved Implementation and Operations plan and it meets the European Aviation Safety Agency’s (EASA) Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) requirement for commercial operations.

The FORMS program is an ever-expanding database that provides valuable feedback to operators to refine operating, training and maintenance procedures, and delivers safety-improving data to Gulfstream and its training partners. Any customer taking delivery of a G650 is offered a one-year, free-of-charge subscription to the FORMS program.

In addition to the G650, FORMS is available for the Gulfstream G550, G450, G150, GV and GIV through installations of a Quick Access Recorder (QAR).

“With nearly 200 aircraft in the program, many Gulfstream operators have experienced the benefit of the FORMS program,” said Randy Gaston, vice president, Flight Operations, Gulfstream. “FORMS provides our operators with critical data to help them continuously improve their operations.”

FORMS collects data during all phases of flight and identifies when certain criteria have been exceeded. When this occurs, the system identifies and analyzes the conditions present and provides a summary to the operator. Operators receive event-based reports as their data is processed by the system, in addition to quarterly reports reflecting their specific operations. Gulfstream also receives consolidated fleet data, which is used to enhance pilot training.

Operators enrolled in the program receive quarterly reports with key parameters highlighted for further assessment by flight departments. Every operator in the Gulfstream fleet has access to the annual fleet report, which consolidates all the results from FORMS-enrolled aircraft. This data can be used to modify techniques, procedures and training, as necessary, even for operators not enrolled in the FORMS program.

The recently released 2012 FORMS Annual Report demonstrates the value of the service. Operators enrolled in the program for five years had 50 percent fewer unstable approaches than first-year enrollees.

FORMS is part of a family of safety features available on the G650. Owners and operators of the G650 are also provided a subscription to a health and trend monitoring service – PlaneConnect HTM™. This system, a first in business aviation, records up to 10,000 predefined parameters and provides near real-time aircraft condition monitoring for high priority Crew Advisory System (CAS) events and engine health data. PlaneConnect HTM also allows FORMS data to be sent automatically from the aircraft after each flight, requiring no maintenance or pilot action.

“No one else in the industry is performing this level of data analysis, which allows for the trending of aircraft systems and enables predictive capabilities,” said Robby O’Dell, program manager, G650 Technical Development, Gulfstream. “PlaneConnect HTM, provided free-of-charge to all G650 operators for the first year in service, reinforces our commitment to safety, reliability and availability.”

GULFSTREAM G280 LINKS ENGLAND AND NIGERIA

Mon, 20 May 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 20, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.’s G280 aircraft recently traveled to Africa as part of the super mid-sized business jet’s yearlong world tour. En route, the aircraft set three city-pair records, including one from Luton, England, to Lagos, Nigeria.

The aircraft left London Luton Airport at 7:44 a.m. local time with two passengers on board. It landed at Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos 6 hours and 32 minutes later. Its average speed for the 2,948-nm (5,460 km) flight was Mach 0.81.

The aircraft set two additional city-pair records during the African leg of the tour, including one from Libreville, Gabon, to Casablanca, Morocco, and another from Casablanca to Amsterdam. The aircraft traveled the 2,755-nm (5,102-km) between Libreville and Casablanca in 6 hours and 11 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.82. It covered the 1,344 nm (2,489 km) between Casablanca and Amsterdam in 3 hours and 3 minutes, with an average speed of Mach 0.82.

“With more than 20 city-pair records on its resume, the G280 has proven itself to be a super mid-sized powerhouse, capable of flying farther faster than the competition,” said Scott Neal, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Gulfstream. “The aircraft offers unprecedented range, speed, safety and amenities.”

Since entering service in December 2012, the G280 demonstrator has visited 109 cities in 36 countries. It has accumulated more than 400 flight hours and covered more than 132,000 nm (244,464 km).

The G280 is powered by twin Honeywell HTF7250G engines, each of which provides 7,624 pounds of thrust. These fuel-efficient engines feature reduced emissions, longer maintenance intervals and decreased noise levels. They also offer excellent climb performance, propelling the G280 to FL410 in less than 20 minutes. The aircraft has a maximum range of 3,600 nm (6,667 km) at Mach 0.80.

The three city-pair records are pending confirmation with the National Aeronautic Association.

GULFSTREAM SUPPORT NETWORK GROWS IN EUROPE

Mon, 20 May 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 20, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. continues to add resources to its product support network worldwide, including in Europe, home to more than 180 Gulfstream operators.

Since moving into a new, larger hangar at London Luton Airport in September 2011, the Gulfstream Luton service center has grown to approximately 190 employees and continues to support Gulfstream operators on-site, across the United Kingdom and Europe, and as far as Asia.

Gulfstream has also increased its spare parts and materials inventory in the region to $125 million. The inventory covers all models of Gulfstream aircraft, including the new ultra-long-range, ultra-large-cabin G650 and the super mid-size G280. The initial deliveries for both aircraft include European customers.

Another key element of Gulfstream’s customer service in Europe is the mobile repair team unit, which is part of its Field and Airborne Support Teams (FAST). In May 2013, Gulfstream added a sixth member to this select group of maintenance engineers.

“We’re committed to our operators in Europe, whether they’re based there or traveling through the continent on the way to the Middle East, Africa or Asia,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “We continue to invest in enhancing our depth and breadth of services in Europe and continually seek new ways to better support customers.”

Gulfstream Luton, located 30 miles north of London, is a certified Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 145 repair station and EASA Part 21 design organization, which includes avionics and interiors installation and repair capability. The facility also holds 11 other foreign authority approvals. Gulfstream Luton technicians service more than 100 aircraft monthly at their facility off-site. In the past year, Luton personnel have assisted customers in aircraft-on-ground situations as far away as India and Nigeria.

Gulfstream Luton also offers EASA-authorized Continued Airworthiness Management Organization (CAMO) services. The CAMO department currently manages 15 aircraft and has capacity to handle additional aircraft.

Luton’s 75,000-square-foot hangar can accommodate 10 to 12 aircraft depending on the mix of large-cabin and mid-cabin models. It sits adjacent to a 10,000-square-foot parts warehouse, which opened in May 2011.

Most of Gulfstream’s Europe-based parts and materials – nearly $80 million – are located in Madrid at Corjet Maintenance’s warehouse at Barajas Airport. Gulfstream’s Luton and Madrid facilities can ship parts anywhere in Europe or the Middle East within 24 hours and offer a 24-hour call-in number for customers who need parts support.

Gulfstream also has approximately $17 million in parts positioned at Jet Aviation in Basel.

Gulfstream’s FAST maintenance engineers are based in Switzerland, Paris and Athens. A new FAST maintenance engineer will be based in Kiev. The engineers, who can be dispatched by airplane, train, automobile or van, are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to respond to maintenance issues in the field. Each engineer is type-rated on multiple Gulfstream aircraft models. All are EASA-licensed mechanical and/or electrical engineers and have earned an FAA airframe and powerplant license.

Gulfstream’s long list of customer resources in Europe also includes two field service representatives in England and one in Russia, Spain and Switzerland, respectively. Gulfstream also has company-authorized service centers at Jet Aviation’s sites in Basel, Geneva and Moscow, and three company-authorized warranty facilities, Altenrhein Aviation in Altenrhein, Switzerland, and Kiev, and Corjet Maintenance in Madrid.

GULFSTREAM ENHANCES SERVICES PROVIDED BY ITS
FIELD AND AIRBORNE SUPPORT TEAMS (FAST)

Thu, 16 May 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 16, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced enhancements to its Field and Airborne Support Teams (FAST), the company’s program that helps Gulfstream aircraft operators in aircraft-on-ground (AOG) situations by dispatching technicians and maintenance engineers by airplane, train or automobile.

The company recently upgraded its FAST aircraft, replacing two Gulfstream G100s with two G150s. The aircraft are utilized to transport technicians and flight-essential parts across the U.S., Canada, Central America and the Caribbean. Gulfstream maintains a G100 as a backup for the airborne maintenance service.

The wide-cabin, high-speed G150 has a range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 km) — Savannah to Seattle — at Mach 0.75, and has 27 percent more cabin space than the mid-size G100. This enables the transport of many replacement parts for Gulfstream’s new flagship aircraft, the ultra-large-cabin G650.

“We strive to continuously enhance the support we offer operators and their aircraft,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “The addition of the G150s to Gulfstream FAST allows us to reach operators faster and with fewer stops. With a G150, we can routinely fly nonstop to the West Coast from Savannah. The G150 also offers the best availability rate in the Gulfstream fleet at nearly 92 percent.”

Other enhancements to the Gulfstream FAST program include adding a third shift of two pilots and naming a new chief pilot, Tenille Cromwell. Cromwell has flown more than 550 missions as a team member since June 2008 and is type-rated on the G100, G150 and G200. She was formerly FAST’s assistant chief pilot and training captain. Before joining Gulfstream in June 2008, she spent more than eight years in the U.S. Navy flying T-1A Jayhawks as a flight commander and E-6B Mercurys as a standardization/evaluation pilot.

Cromwell earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration from the University of Southern California and Georgia Southern University, respectively.

Gulfstream has 12 U.S.-based pilots, 12 U.S.-based technicians and six Europe-based maintenance engineers dedicated to the FAST program. Gulfstream FAST, which has made more than 3,400 mission flights and recently surpassed 10,000 flight hours, also utilizes more than 20 vehicles throughout the U.S. and Europe, including a pair of specially outfitted rapid-response trucks. The first truck operates out of the San Francisco Bay Area, while the second will be positioned in the Houston area.

Behind-the-scenes logistical support for FAST involves several Gulfstream departments, including Technical Operations, Flight Operations, Spare Part Sales and Field Service. FAST aircraft are easily identified by their livery, which includes logos of many Gulfstream suppliers.

GULFSTREAM RELEASES UPDATE TO PLANEBOOK IPAD APP

Wed, 15 May 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 15, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. recently released an update to the company’s PlaneBook™ iPad application, an electronic document management system that has helped pilots and flight crews operate Gulfstream aircraft more safely and effectively since 2011.

“Our customers enjoy the convenience of using our operating manuals on the iPad and receiving automatic updates,” said Bill Colleran, director, Technical Publications, Gulfstream. “This update incorporates a number of improvements that came from their feedback, including landscape and portrait orientations, AirPrint compatibility and search features. We think our customers will be pleased with the result.”

Other new features include a document selector, history window, bookmark navigator, manual reorder feature, highly visible battery percentage indicator, better aircraft subscription organization and an improved help file.

The PlaneBook app provides pilots easy and immediate access to critical flight information and aircraft-specific documents, such as the Airplane Flight Manual, Operating Manual, Pilot’s Checklist and the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH). The electronic version of the QRH, which includes emergency flight procedures, serves as the master document that links to all other documents for easy cross-referencing.

PlaneBook also allows pilots to create and add their own content and tailor the app to their particular flying habits or preferences. In addition, since documents and manuals are downloaded straight to the iPad, users will have offline access to all of their important information. A “History” feature gives pilots even quicker access to the documents they frequently use, and instructional videos for each of Gulfstream’s aircraft, as well as latest news from the company, are available through the app.

The Gulfstream PlaneBook app is now available from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore. Current users will notice an update notification in the “App Store” app on their iPad devices, and are encouraged to download the new version immediately. Customers can send questions or comments at any time to planebook.support@gulfstream.com.

GULFSTREAM G650 SPRINTS BETWEEN SHANGHAI AND NEWARK

Wed, 15 May 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 15, 2013 — The Gulfstream G650 recently demonstrated its exceptional capabilities, flying more than 6,855 nautical miles (12,695 km) in 13 hours and 32 minutes to set a city-pair speed record between Shanghai and Newark, N.J.

The ultra-large-cabin, ultra-long-range G650 took off from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport at 10:38 p.m. local time on April 18 with five passengers and four crew members on board. Once airborne, Air Traffic Control restrictions required that the aircraft spend the first hour traveling below 31,000 feet (9,500 m) before climbing to its normal cruising altitude of 41,000 to 51,000 feet (12,500 to 15,500 m). The aircraft cruised at speeds between Mach 0.85 and 0.88, resulting in an average speed of 506 knots from takeoff to touchdown.

The aircraft arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport 13 hours and 32 minutes later at 12:10 a.m. local time. Due to limited visibility conditions near the airport, the crew used Gulfstream’s Enhanced Vision System (EVS II), a standard feature on the G650, during approach and landing. Gulfstream aircraft equipped with EVS have operational credit to proceed from decision height to a 100-foot altitude when using EVS for low-visibility approaches.

“This mission exemplifies the long legs and tremendous technological capabilities of the G650,” said Scott Neal, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Gulfstream. “In this instance, the aircraft overcame real-world operational challenges to accomplish the mission quickly and safely. This is the kind of performance operators can expect from the G650.”

The G650 has a maximum range of 7,000 nautical miles (12,964 km) at Mach 0.85, enabling longer intercontinental flights in less time than current ultra-long-range business jets. Its range at Mach 0.90 is 6,000 nm (11,112 km). Its max speed is Mach 0.925.

GULFSTREAM INCREASES PRESENCE IN NORTHEAST U.S. WITH OPENING OF ADDITIONAL WESTFIELD, MASS., HANGAR

Tue, 14 May 2013 11:22:00 EST

WESTFIELD, Mass., May 14, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced it has opened an additional hangar at its service center at Barnes Regional Airport in Westfield, Mass. The facility serves the Northeast region of the United States, the busiest corridor for Gulfstream business jets in the world.

Gulfstream Westfield’s new 125,000-square-foot hangar complements the adjacent 85,000-square-foot facilities. It accommodates the new ultra-large-cabin Gulfstream G650 and all other Gulfstream aircraft, and nearly doubles the site’s under-roof capacity from a mixture of 12 large-cabin and mid-cabin aircraft to approximately 22. The expansion, which was announced in October 2011, has resulted in more than 60 new product support-related jobs at the site. Approximately 40 more positions are expected to be added this year.

“This is a wonderful day for Westfield, Western Massachusetts and Gulfstream,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “We are very excited about this expansion, which comes on the heels of the entry-into-service of our two new aircraft, the G650 and G280. We built this hangar and added employees to the team to help ensure that those aircraft and the rest of our growing fleet are well supported. We’re grateful to the city of Westfield and the commonwealth of Massachusetts, including the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development and the Department of Transportation, for their critical support.”

“Gulfstream Westfield continually gets high marks from customers, and these added resources will only enhance that world-class service and support.”

Gulfstream announced the hangar opening in front of an audience made up of the site’s 200 employees along with local and state dignitaries, including Richard A. Davey, secretary and chief executive officer of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, and U.S. Congressman Richard Neal.

Gulfstream Westfield, located approximately 97 miles from Boston and 130 miles from the New York metro area, offers a full range of services, including aircraft-on-ground (AOG) support, airframe inspections, avionics installations and interior refurbishments. On-site technicians are certified to work on large- and mid-cabin Gulfstream aircraft along with Hawker, Dassault Falcon and Bombardier Challenger business jets. Approximately 500 of these aircraft, including more than 200 Gulfstream jets, are based within 150 miles of the facility.

Westfield’s new hangar includes two overhead cranes and a tail dock. It was built with several sustainable and green design features, including building materials with recycled content, water-efficient lavatories and showers, and energy-efficient lighting.

Gulfstream Westfield is certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, European Aviation Safety Agency and also has maintenance approvals from the civil aviation authorities in Aruba, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.
In 2012, Westfield employees serviced 811 aircraft, which included off-site maintenance support for aircraft located as far away as Newfoundland, Canada.

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., April 15, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has appointed longtime company employee James Liang as a regional sales manager for Product Support Sales in Asia. He is based at the Gulfstream Product Support Asia office in Hong Kong and reports to Jeff Hill, director, International Product Support Sales.

Liang is responsible for maintenance and avionics sales in the Asia-Pacific region, which has grown from 27 Gulfstream operators in 2001 to more than 200 today. For the past three years, Liang was Gulfstream’s Hong Kong-based manager for parts and materials in Asia. In that position, he managed more than $56 million in inventory at warehouses in Hong Kong, Beijing and Singapore. He also was responsible for overseeing parts distribution in the region.

GULFSTREAM BEIJING A WELCOME ADDITION TO SUPPORT NETWORK

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., April 15, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has seen steady growth for Gulfstream Beijing, the service center it opened this past November.

“We’re seeing more customers every week,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “Our technical staff has serviced more than 40 aircraft since we began operations. We’re not just working on aircraft at the facility; we’re sending technicians on road trips to assist operators.”

Gulfstream is the first business jet manufacturer to offer factory service in China. The company made the investment because its fleet has grown to more than 105 aircraft in China and Hong Kong, and to fulfill its commitment to provide first-rate customer service.

“The feedback from our customers in Asia has been very positive,” Burns said. “They appreciate us being here and the high standard of work we perform. It’s a win-win situation. We at Gulfstream understand their needs better by being near their base of operation. Our centralized support leads to lower maintenance costs for them and increased availability of their aircraft.”

Gulfstream Beijing is a joint venture between Gulfstream and two subsidiaries of Hainan Airlines Group, Hainan Aviation Technik (HNAT) and Beijing Capital Airlines Co. Ltd. (Deer Jet). Deer Jet operates a charter aircraft fleet that includes more than 40 Gulfstream aircraft. HNAT offers aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul services.

Gulfstream Beijing, located at Beijing Capital International Airport, consists of an 82,000-square-foot (7,618-sq-m) hangar and 22,000 (2,044 sq m) square feet of offices and back shops. The facility is a certified Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) Part 145 repair station, which means its staff of Gulfstream, Deer Jet and HNAT technicians can perform maintenance and upgrades on airframes, avionics, powerplants and interiors on Chinese-registered Gulfstream aircraft. Currently, the service center is authorized to work on the G550, G450 and G200. CAAC facility certification for the company’s new aircraft, the ultra-long-range, ultra-large-cabin G650, the new flagship, and the super mid-sized G280, is expected in the coming months along with authorizations for the GV and GIV.

The Gulfstream technicians are certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and can support Gulfstream operators of any model in aircraft-on-ground situations in greater China, Japan and South Korea.

Gulfstream Beijing personnel have access to more than $56 million in parts and materials strategically positioned at warehouses in Beijing, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Gulfstream has had personnel in Beijing since January 2010. The first company employee positioned there was Jenson Saw, a field service representative (FSR). Approximately four months later, Gulfstream added a maintenance team to help support the Deer Jet fleet.

Saw is one of six Gulfstream FSRs in the Asia-Pacific region. There are also two stationed in Hong Kong and Singapore, and one in India.

Other Product Support resources for Gulfstream in the region include a Hong Kong-based group comprised of Paul Lu, director, Customer Support Asia; James Liang, regional manager, Product Support Sales; and Ka Ming Lau, materials specialist. Hong Kong is also home to a Flight Operations team that provides entry-into-service flight support for customers.

Along with Gulfstream Beijing, there are seven other facilities in the Asia-Pacific region that Gulfstream operators can utilize for maintenance. They are factory-authorized service centers Jet Aviation and Metrojet in Hong Kong and Jet Aviation in Singapore, and authorized warranty centers Jamco Corp. in Sendai, Japan, ExecuJet Australia in Sydney and Melbourne, and Air Works in Mumbai.

Gulfstream’s in-service fleet in the Asia-Pacific region, which includes Australia, India and Singapore, has grown from 27 aircraft in 2001 to more than 200 today.

GULFSTREAM LARGE-CABIN AIRCRAFT MORE THAN TRIPLE IN ASIA-PACIFIC

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., April 15, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced today at ABACE 2013 that the company’s Asia-Pacific fleet has more than tripled in the last six years, with the bulk of the growth coming from large-cabin aircraft. Since 2007, large-cabin aircraft in the region have increased from 50 to 169.
“Asia, particularly China, remains our leading export market,” said Larry Flynn, president, Gulfstream. “As investors and businesses look around the globe for opportunities, the need for long-range, rapid transportation increases. The capabilities of our aircraft easily allow Chinese operators to reach markets in North America, Europe, the Middle East and beyond.”

The company’s G450 and G550 recently marked fleet milestones that attest to the aircraft’s popularity. Less than 10 years after its entry-into-service, the 400th large-cabin, ultra-long-range G550 entered service. Not to be outdone, the G450 fleet recently surpassed 200,000 flights, less than eight years after the first aircraft entered service.

In addition, the G550 maintained a dispatch reliability rate of 99.91 percent or greater for each month in the past year. A 99.91 percent dispatch rate means that, on average, the G550 fleet successfully launched 999 out of 1,000 flights within 30 minutes of the scheduled departure time. Dispatch reliability is measured to the published National Business Aviation Association standard.
“The entire organization works very hard to ensure all Gulfstream aircraft achieve the maximum dispatch rate possible to provide the optimal experience for our customers,” said Kevan Jackson, G550 program director, Gulfstream.

The large-cabin, long-range G450 entered service on May 7, 2005, and the fleet has flown more than 422,000 total flight hours. The aircraft has a range of 4,350 nautical miles (8,056 km) at its normal cruise speed of Mach 0.80. The G450 has an equally impressive dispatch reliability rate of 99.85 percent, and shares a common pilot type rating with the G550.

Gulfstream’s large-cabin, ultra-long-range G550 entered service on Sept. 17, 2003. The fleet has accrued more than 730,000 flight hours and 270,000 landings. It has a range of 6,750 nautical miles (12,501 km) at a speed of Mach 0.80. In May 2004, the G550 development team received the 2003 Collier Trophy for the technological advances and safety enhancements featured in the design of the aircraft.

Both the G450 and the G550 come equipped with the state-of-the-art PlaneView cockpit with Standard Enhanced Vision System (EVS II), Head-Up Display (HUD II) and optional Synthetic Vision-Primary Flight Display (SV-PFD).

GULFSTREAM G650 AND G280 ARRIVE IN CHINA FOR ABACE 2013

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., April 15, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.’s two newest aircraft are participating in the company’s static display at the Asian Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (ABACE) in Shanghai. This is the first time the G650 and G280 are part of an air show in China.

“We’re excited to bring the G650 and G280 as well as the G150, G450 and G550 to China for our customers to see in person,” said Scott Neal, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Gulfstream. “Bringing these five aircraft here demonstrates the commitment we’ve made to China and reflects our belief in the strength of this market.

“Over the past several years, we’ve made a significant commitment to the Asia-Pacific region, investing in people, parts and facilities to ensure the continued success of our operators. The five aircraft we have on static display here show that we have a wide variety of aircraft available to suit the varied missions of our customers. Our investment in the region shows that we’re committed to providing our operators with the best support and resources possible, and that we are focused on maintaining our position as the number one business aviation brand in China.”

The ultra-large-cabin, ultra-long-range G650 and the super mid-sized G280 have been demonstrating their capabilities throughout the world, including in the Asia-Pacific region. Most recently, the G650 added an eighth city-pair record to its 2013 flying resume when the aircraft made its way from Chicago to Beijing in late March. The aircraft left Chicago International Airport with five passengers and four crew on board. It flew 6,223 nm (11,525 km) at an average speed of Mach 0.87, landing in Beijing 12 hours and 49 minutes later. The city-pair has been submitted to the National Aeronautic Association (NAA) for confirmation as a record.

“The G650 is the perfect fit for the China market,” Neal said. “With a range of 6,000 nm at Mach 0.90 (955 km/h), the G650 can link Shanghai to London, Sydney or Los Angeles, saving operators up to an hour when compared to other aircraft.”

The G280 has 10 2013 city-pair records pending confirmation with the NAA, including two it set following Avalon 2013, an air show in Geelong, Victoria. The first of those records was set as the demonstration aircraft left Australia’s Melbourne (Essendon) Airport at 9:10 a.m. local time March 4 with four passengers and three crew on board. It climbed to 43,000 ft (13,106 m) in 21 minutes and then to 45,000 feet (13,716 m) before landing at Singapore (Seletar) Airport 7 hours and 12 minutes later. Its average speed for the 3,300-nm (6,112 km) flight was Mach 0.80.

The second record was set between Singapore and Abu Dhabi, where the aircraft was making an appearance at the Abu Dhabi Air Expo. The G280 left Seletar at 7:53 a.m. local time on March 5 and arrived at Abu Dhabi Al Bateen Executive Airport 7 hours and 41 minutes later. The aircraft cruised at Mach 0.80 for the 3,213-nm (5,950 km) flight.

The aircraft’s appearance at ABACE 2013 is part of a world demonstration tour intended to introduce the two aircraft to customers. Since January 2013, the G280 demonstrator has visited 72 cities in 24 countries, accumulating more than 240 flight hours. During that time, the aircraft covered approximately 80,500 nm (149,086 km). The farthest nonstop distance it traveled was 3,676 nm (6,808 km) from Savannah to London.

Since mid-January the G650 has visited 42 locations in 12 countries for more than 180 flying hours. The demonstrator has flown approximately 54,500 nm (100,934 km) so far this year. The farthest nonstop distance it traveled was 6,475 nm (11,992 km) between Washington, D.C., and Qatar.

Mon, 25 Feb 2013 11:22:00 EST

MELBOURNE, Victoria, Australia, February 25, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.’s two newest aircraft arrived in Australia Monday to participate in the company’s static display at Avalon 2013, an air show and defense exhibition in Geelong, Victoria. It’s the first time both the super mid-sized Gulfstream G280 and the ultra-large-cabin, ultra-long-range G650 have been in Australia.

“We’re thrilled to be able to show these two aircraft to our customers in Australia,” said Scott Neal, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Gulfstream. “It’s an opportunity for customers to see firsthand the tremendous capabilities of the G280 and G650, including speed, range, safety, reliability and comfort.”

The two aircraft demonstrated their speed and range en route to Australia, setting a series of potential city-pair records. The G650 set a world record between Honolulu and Auckland, flying 3,868 nm (7,164 km) in 7 hours and 57 minutes. Once approved by the National Aeronautic Association, this record will join eight others already set by the G650.

The G280 set three pending records en route to Avalon. The aircraft took off at maximum weight from Carlsbad, Calif., where it demonstrated its takeoff capabilities from the short runway (4,897 ft/1,492 m). It then flew six people (three passengers and three crew) to Honolulu, a distance of 2,322 nm (4,300 km), in 5 hours and 31 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.83. The aircraft flew the 2,292 nm (4,245 km) from Honolulu to Pago Pago in 5 hours and 12 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.83. The flight from Pago Pago to Melbourne, a distance of 2,846 nm (5,270 km), took 7 hours and 16 minutes, at an average speed of Mach 0.80. The G280 has set 22 city-pair records since it entered service in 2012.

The aircraft’s appearance at Avalon 2013 is part of a world demonstration tour intended to introduce the two aircraft to customers. Since entering service in November 2012, the G280 demonstrator has visited 65 cities in 15 countries, accumulating more than 340 flight hours. Its longest nonstop flight was from Savannah to London, a journey of 3,676 nm (6,808 km).

The G650 flies farther, faster and with a larger more comfortable cabin than any other business jet in service. The G650 world demonstration tour began in mid-January and has already visited 28 locations in six countries, covering 40,000 nm (74,000 km).

GULFSTREAM G150 FLEET LEADERS REACH 10,000 FLIGHT HOURS

Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., February 20, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today celebrated a milestone for the fleet leaders of its mid-sized G150 aircraft. The two G150s, which are owned and operated by a U.S.-based multinational energy company, recently combined to surpass 10,000 flight hours. This achievement was accomplished without incident and took only five years.

“We are very pleased that the G150 has been such a reliable workhorse for our customers,” said Larry Flynn, president, Gulfstream. “The two G150s that lead the fleet continue to demonstrate the superior dispatch reliability and availability rates that our company takes great pride in. To reach 10,000 flight hours in just five years means these aircraft have flown an average of more than 83 hours a month. To pull those flight hours off takes a fine-tuned effort from the operator and our product support organization.”

The G150, which entered service in August 2006, has the best range, speed and fuel efficiency in the mid-size class of business jets. Gulfstream’s fleet of 100 G150s comprises operators in the U.S., Canada, Central America, South America, Europe and Asia.

The fleet has accumulated more than 130,000 flight hours and made more than 90,000 landings. The G150 has an availability rate of 91.96 percent and a dispatch reliability rate of 99.83 percent.

Powered by a pair of Honeywell TFE731-40AR engines, the G150 has a range of 3,000 nautical miles (5,556 km) at Mach 0.75. It is also distinguished by its advanced avionics suite and quiet, comfortable cabin that seats up to eight passengers.

The G150 is certified to meet the steep-approach landing criteria at several airports worldwide, including London City. It is certified in more than 40 countries, including the U.S., Brazil, Canada, China, England, Germany, Israel, Mexico and Switzerland.

GULFSTREAM APPOINTS DAN NALE TO SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT FOR PROGRAMS, ENGINEERING AND TEST

Thu, 07 Feb 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., February 7, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has appointed Dan Nale to the position of senior vice president, Programs, Engineering and Test, effective April 1. He will succeed Pres Henne, who will retire March 31. Nale will oversee the company's Engineering, Flight Operations and Program Management Organizations as well as aircraft development, reporting to Larry Flynn, president, Gulfstream.

Most recently, Nale served as vice president, Advanced Aircraft Programs, where he was responsible for overseeing the development of next-generation Gulfstream aircraft. Previously, as vice president, Engineering, Nale was responsible for several design- and engineering-related organizations, including Structures, GV Propulsion, Auxiliary Power Unit, Fuel Systems, Environmental Control and Pressurization Systems. As vice president, Mid-Cabin Programs, a position he took over in March 2003, he was responsible for managing the Gulfstream G100, G150, G200 and G280 programs. Before joining Gulfstream, he worked as a stress engineer on the space shuttle wing program for Grumman Aerospace Corp.

“Dan started his Gulfstream career in 1985 as a structural analysis engineer and has held increasingly responsible engineering positions within the company over the past 28 years,” said Flynn. “I have complete confidence in Dan’s ability to lead the vast team of 1,675 engineers, scientists and designers who are responsible for the industry-leading research and development undertaken at Gulfstream.”

Nale, a Georgia-registered professional engineer (P.E.), holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from The Citadel in Charleston, master’s and doctoral degrees in engineering from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, and a Master of Business Administration degree from Mercer University in Macon, Ga. He also holds a single engine private pilot license.

Henne, who turned 65 in 2012, joined Gulfstream in 1994. He is credited with leading the teams responsible for the design, development, test and certification of the Gulfstream V and G550 aircraft, which earned Robert J. Collier trophies from the National Aeronautics Association in 1997 and 2003, respectively. The trophy is awarded annually for the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in North America.

Most recently, Henne oversaw the development of the company’s much-anticipated G650, one of the world’s most sophisticated business-jet aircraft. The G650, which entered service in 2012, was designed with technological advances such as a digital fly-by-wire system, triplex flight management systems, auto emergency descent and enhanced and synthetic vision systems. Henne also supervised the design and development of the G280, an aircraft that has been noted for its best-in-class performance, cabin comfort and technology.

“Over the past 15 years or so, Gulfstream Aerospace has introduced six new products; launched a number of industry-leading product enhancements, including the Gulfstream Enhanced Vision System and Synthetic Vision – Primary Flight Display; and received the Robert J. Collier trophy twice. We also established a strong engineering organization as well as a Research and Development Center campus with four office buildings and a dedicated state-of-the-art lab building," Flynn said. “These accomplishments are due, in part, to Pres’ leadership, innovation and knowledge of the aerospace industry. His retirement is well-deserved.”
Said Henne, “It’s amazing how 44 years in the aircraft design and development business have flown by. It has been an honor to be part of the teams that developed the G650, G550, GV, G450, G280 and G150.”

Henne earned a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical and astronautical engineering with highest undergraduate honors from the University of Illinois in 1969 and a master’s degree in engineering from California State University at Long Beach in 1974. Henne is a Fellow of the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. His awards include the AIAA 1996 Engineer of the Year Award, the AIAA 2001 Hap Arnold Award for Excellence in Aeronautical Program Management, the 2005 University of Illinois Alumni Award for Distinguished Service, a 2012 Living Legend of Aviation Award from the Kiddie Hawk Air Academy, the AIAA 2012 Reed Aeronautics Award and a 2012 Aviation Week Laureate Award.

GULFSTREAM G280 CERTIFIED BY EUROPEAN AVIATION SAFETY AGENCY

Thu, 07 Feb 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., February 7, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.’s G280 aircraft received type certification today from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The certification recognizes that the super mid-sized aircraft demonstrates compliance with EASA airworthiness and environmental requirements. It is one of the final steps required for the G280 to be registered in a European Union country.

“Getting EASA certification is an important milestone for the G280,” said Larry Flynn, president, Gulfstream. “This aircraft is the most fuel-efficient and most comfortable in its class, and it offers unprecedented range for its size. It is the only super mid-sized business jet that can reliably fly nonstop from London to New York. That feature is very important to operators.”

The G280, a joint effort between Gulfstream and Israel Aerospace Industries, earned its type certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Civil Aviation Authority of Israel on Aug. 30, 2012. It entered service on Nov. 13, 2012.

The aircraft’s range is 3,600 nautical miles (6,667 km) at Mach 0.80. Its balanced field length is 210 feet less than originally announced, which enables it to take off from runways of 4,750 feet (1,448 m) or less. That is an improvement of more than 1,300 feet compared to the G200, the aircraft the G280 replaces. The G280 has a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.85.

Advanced technology is also part of the G280’s appeal. The PlaneView280™ cockpit, the most advanced flight deck in its class, improves safety through reduced pilot workload and improved situational awareness. The G280 is also environmentally efficient, burning less fuel and producing fewer emissions than other super mid-sized aircraft. It is quiet, with certified noise levels 15.8 decibels below FAA Stage 4 requirements.

With its spacious cabin, the G280 can provide seating for up to 10 in two living areas. Passengers have in-flight access to the baggage compartment. The Gulfstream Cabin Management System enables them to easily control the cabin environment and high-definition entertainment equipment with a handheld device such as an iPod Touch.

GULFSTREAM G280 SETS 15 NEW CITY-PAIR SPEED RECORDS AS PART OF RELIABILITY DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM

Thu, 31 Jan 2013 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., January 31, 2013 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.’s new best-in-class G280 aircraft recently set 15 new city-pair speed records as part of the company’s reliability demonstration program. The 250-hour internal testing program, among the most extensive voluntary reliability programs ever implemented by Gulfstream, served to enhance fleet reliability, enrich pilot training and improve customer readiness.

“The Gulfstream reliability demonstration program incorporates pilot check rides, maintenance on auxiliary power units, engine run qualifications, technical operations, publications validations and basic servicing and handling at typical fixed-base operators,” said Mark Burns, president, Product Support. “This is just one more way we are going above and beyond for our customers, ensuring they have the most reliable and high-performing aircraft.”

Of the 15 new city-pair speed records set as part of the program, the most notable were a flight from Aspen, Colo., to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and one from Honolulu to Savannah. The super mid-sized aircraft has established 22 speed records since setting its first in May.

“Two of these new speed records are particularly significant because they demonstrate the G280’s capability to reach the East Coast from Aspen and to travel an exceptional distance,” said Scott Neal, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Gulfstream. “The G280 continues to prove its tremendous reliability, range, speed and performance for our customers.”

The G280 flew from Aspen-Pitken County Airport to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in 3 hours and 21 minutes. It flew 1,640 nautical miles (3,038 km) at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.84. On board were demo pilots Santiago Koritschoner, Brian Erickson and Stephanie Ruyle.

Also in November, the G280 flew from Honolulu to Savannah in 8 hours and 19 minutes, a total of 4,124 nautical miles (7,638 km) at an average speed of Mach 0.80. On board were Brian Dickerson, senior production test pilot; Scott Evans, engineering test pilot; and Scott Blouin, avionics and electrical technician.

The city-pair speed records have been certified by the National Aeronautic Association, the official record keeper for U.S. aviation, and forwarded to the Federation Aeronautique Internationale in Switzerland for approval as world records.

The G280 is certified to fly 3,600 nm (6,667 km) with four passengers at Mach 0.80 with NBAA IFR reserves, some 200 nm farther than the company announced at the program’s launch in 2008. In addition to more range, the aircraft’s balanced field length has been reduced from 4,960 feet (1,512 m) to 4,750 feet (1,448 m). This field length is an improvement of more than 1,300 feet compared to the G200, the aircraft the G280 replaces. The aircraft entered into service on Nov. 14, 2012.

“Within the first two years of that seven-year period, Gulfstream has hired more than 1,695 new full-time employees in Savannah alone, nearly 700 more than what we originally estimated,” said Larry Flynn, president, Gulfstream. “We’ve also invested more than $175 million toward our $500 million commitment.

GULFSTREAM RECEIVES FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION PRODUCTION CERTIFICATE FOR G650

Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:22:00 EST

SAVANNAH, Ga., December 21, 2012 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. recently received two important certifications for its new flagship aircraft, the ultra-large-cabin, ultra-long-range G650. The company received the Production Certificate (PC) from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Atlanta Manufacturing Inspection District Office. Gulfstream also earned a Type Certificate for the G650 from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

The PC was obtained on December 20, 2012, and confirms that Gulfstream’s production processes for the G650 are in compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations Part 21. The FAA issued the PC after Gulfstream completed an extensive FAA Production Certificate audit conducted by the Gulfstream Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) office, which examined Gulfstream’s engineering, supplier, manufacturing and quality systems to assure the aircraft are produced in accordance with their design.

The EASA Type Certificate was awarded on December 21, 2012. By securing EASA certification, the G650 can be registered in the 27 member states that form the European Union.

“This is quite an achievement for Gulfstream,” said Larry Flynn, president, Gulfstream. “The G650 Production Certificate is a testament to the strength of four departments within Gulfstream — Engineering, Materials, Operations and Quality — along with the Gulfstream ODA to achieve this outcome. Their efforts and the support from the FAA are to be commended.”

“The EASA certification allows us to begin our first G650 deliveries to customers based in Europe,” Flynn added. “We look forward to getting the G650 certified in many other countries.”

The G650 earned its FAA Type Certificate on Sept. 7, 2012. The aircraft also has Type Certificate validations from Bermuda and the Isle of Man.

The G650 has the largest cabin and can fly farther and faster than any other purpose-built business jet. The aircraft can travel 6,000 nautical miles (11,112 km) at its high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90. This is a 1,000-nm (1,852-km) increase over the original target of 5,000 nm (9,260 km). At its long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85, the G650 can fly 7,000 nautical miles (12,964 km). The G650 has a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.925, making it the fastest certified civilian aircraft in production.

The G650 is also environmentally efficient. Each of its two Rolls-Royce BR725 A1-12 engines provides 16,900 pounds of thrust, yet the aircraft burns less fuel and produces fewer emissions than other aircraft. It is also extremely quiet, with certified noise levels 17.2 decibels below Stage 4 noise regulations.
