The JAA is expected to follow the FAA’s ruling that Gulfstream’s G450 and G350 will share the same pilot rating as the G550 and G500.

Additionally, since the Gulfstream 550 and Gulfstream V already share the same type rating, the GV pilot rating will apply to the four new aircraft as well. GV pilots will be authorised to fly the G500 and G350 aircraft upon completion of a five-day ‘differences’ course that highlights the PlaneView flight deck.

GV pilots who are not already qualified on the Gulfstream EVS will also be required to complete 14 hours of training on the Head-Up display and the EVS to fly the G550 and G450, both of which include EVS as standard equipment.
