More than 100 customer pilots earn type rating for all-new G700

This has been done from the Savannah-based FlightSafety International training centre since the aircraft earned Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) type certification on March 29.

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, Gulfstream. “Thanks to the innovative and intuitive Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck and the maturity of the G700 program, the ease with which customers are taking delivery is impressive.”
