GULFSTREAM G150 RECEIVES TYPE CERTIFICATION IN CHINA
August 10, 2011
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. recently announced that the company has received type certificate validation (TCV) for the G150 from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).
This could potentially have a positive impact on global demand for the G150.
The certification "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.
"The G150, thanks to its 3,000 nautical-mile range and high speed, provides exceptional capability and efficiency to Chinese operators and is backed by the same product support organization that services Gulfstream's long-range G550 and G450 aircraft.
According to Gulfstream, "the G150 can fly from Singapore to Beijing in 6 hours and 10 minutes, shaving up to 1 hour and 14 minutes off the flight time of other aircraft in its class. The aircraft can 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).
The G150 has already achieved type certification from the Ukraine, Israel, the United States, Chile, the European Union, the Philippines, Canada and Brazil.
