Gulfstream Aerospace has received type
certificate validation (TCV) for its G150 aircraft from the Civil
Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), a move that allows
operators to register the wide-cabin, high-speed business jet
there.
The G150, thanks to its 3,000 nautical-mile
range and high speed is ideal for operators in the region, and is
backed by the same product support organization that services Gulfstream's long-range G550 and G450 aircraft.
The G150 can fly from Singapore to Beijing in 6
hours and 10 minutes and 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).
In addition to China, the G150 has
received type certification validation from the Ukraine, Israel,
the United States, Chile, the European Union, the Philippines,
Canada and Brazil.
