Gulfstream has revealed that more than 100 customer pilots have earned type rating for the business jet manufacturer’s Gulfstream G700 from the Savannah-based FlightSafety International training centre since the aircraft earned Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) type certification in March.
In addition to FAA and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) type certifications, Gulfstream G700 has earned type certificate validations in nine nations, most recently from the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
Also, in addition to the 100 customer pilots who have earned the G700 type rating, 80 Gulfstream corporate pilots and more than 20 FlightSafety International G700 instructors have earned their G700 type rating.
“Pilots are coming to Savannah from around the world to earn their G700 type rating as aircraft deliveries increase,” said Mark Burns, President of Gulfstream.
“Thanks to the innovative and intuitive Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck and the maturity of the G700 programme, the ease with which customers are taking delivery is impressive.”
