Coordinated Effort Between FAA, CAAC, Israel Required For
Certification To Happen
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has received type certificate
validation (TCV) for its G150 aircraft from the Civil Aviation
Administration of China, a move that allows operators to register
the wide-cabin, high-speed business jet there. “This is
reflective of the growing worldwide popularity of Gulfstream
aircraft,” said Larry Flynn, senior vice president, Marketing
and Sales, Gulfstream. “It also demonstrates our commitment
to ensuring Gulfstream ownership continues to be a smooth and
simple process, regardless of where the aircraft is registered.
Getting type certificate validation from China makes an already
attractive aircraft even more so.”
Gulfstream achieved the validation through close coordination
with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, China’s CAAC
and the Civil Aviation Administration of Israel, where the G150
airframe is built. “We’re pleased with the progress
we’ve made and the cooperation we’ve experienced as we
work with all of these regulatory agencies to the benefit of our
international customers,” said Bill Whitton, vice president,
Organizational Designation Authorization, Gulfstream.
The G150 can fly from Singapore to Beijing in 6 hours and 10
minutes, and travel nonstop from Hong Kong to Mumbai at Mach 0.75,
Hong Kong to Delhi at Mach 0.80 and Beijing to Delhi at Mach 0.80.
The mid-size jet also offers several options to improve safety,
including an Enhanced Vision System (EVS) II, and a Wide Area
Augmentation System-Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance
(WAAS-LPV).
In addition to China, the G150 has received type certification
validation from the Ukraine, Israel, the United States, Chile, the
European Union, the Philippines, Canada and Brazil.
