Over 100 customer pilots have earned their Gulfstream G700 type ratings at FlightSafety International, a significant milestone achieved six months after the aircraft received FAA certification.
In total, more than 200 pilots, including customers, corporate pilots, and instructors, have been typed on the G700, with numbers expected to increase as deliveries continue.
Gulfstream attributes the ease of pilot training and delivery to the G700's "innovative and intuitive" Symmetry Flight Deck, which features touchscreen technology and advanced vision systems.
The G700 has received widespread international validation, obtaining type certifications from the FAA, EASA, and nine other global aviation authorities.
More than 100 customer pilots have earned their Gulfstream G700 type ratings from the Savannah, Georgia-based FlightSafety International training center, the aircraft manufacturer said Thursday.
