Common Onboard Systems and Shared Pilot Type Ratings Translate
to ‘Cost Savings’
Gulfstream Aerospace has received
certification from the Aviation Register of the Interstate Aviation
Committee for Gulfstream’s large-cabin, ultra-long-range G550
and G500; large-cabin, long-range G450; and large-cabin, mid-range
G350 aircraft models.
The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), formerly the USSR,
first validated the FAA's initial type certificates.
Then, the Interstate Aviation Committee, the CIS’ counterpart
to the FAA, issued its own certificates. These type certificates
enable the four Gulfstream business-jet models to be registered and
operated within the 11 former Soviet Republics that comprise the
CIS and include Russia.
“These type certificates enable us to further expand the
Russian market for Gulfstream business jets – a market that
has already expressed substantial interest in our products,”
said Bryan Moss, president, Gulfstream.
“We are optimistic that CIS business-jet customers will
continue to appreciate our products’ safety, quality and
reliability. It’s these characteristics that have made
Gulfstream the best-selling large-cabin business jet among
multinational corporations for the past 40 years.”
The G550, G500, G450 and G350 business jets feature virtually
all of the same onboard systems and share the same pilot type
rating. As a result, operators of multi-Gulfstream aircraft fleets
reduce their operational costs associated with aircraft
maintenance, pilot and technician training and spare-parts
inventory.
