The Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream G600 aircraft have both received certification for steep approach landing by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
This allows Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream G600 operations at even more airports, Gulfstream has confirmed. More than 350 G500 and G600 aircraft are currently in service around the world. The Gulfstream G500 and G600 already have the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) steep-approach certifications, which were granted in 2023 and 2024 respectively. To earn both FAA and EASA certifications, both aircraft successfully demonstrated steep-approach capabilities with low-speed handling and short-field landings at UK’s London City Airport and Lugano Airport in Switzerland.
Mark Burns, President of Gulfstream, said: “Our customers already benefit from the groundbreaking performance and efficiency of the G500 and G600. With EASA steep-approach certification now achieved, we’re proud to offer European operators even greater fleet flexibility by giving them access to more remote airports and destinations around the world.”
