and high-definition video equipment,
26-inch/66-centimeter widescreen
televisions, convection oven, porcelain
dinnerware, flatware and stemware with
fitted storage, combine to outfit the
G650ER with everything needed for flawless
entertaining. Cruising at 51,000 feet/15,
meters above commercial traffic and weather,
the Gulfstream G650ER is truly high-class.THE G650ER CABIN TECHNOLOGY
HIGH-ALTITUDE CONNECTIVITY
The cabin of the Gulfstream G650ER is
designed to allow passengers to intuitively
interact with their environment.
With the Gulfstream Cabin Management
System (GCMS), passengers control
temperature, lighting, window shades and
entertainment devices with Apple iOS
or select Google Android touch-screen
smartphones and tablets.
Apple iPod touch units or Google Android
devices are provided to control the cabin,
but the Gulfstream Cabin Management app
is also available as a free mobile download
for personal iPhone, iPad or Android devices,
which allows passengers to save and recall
preferences for subsequent flights.
The Gulfstream-designed Cabin View
lets passengers track flight progress, displays
points of interest and provides passenger
briefings.
For communication needs, the G650ER
is equipped with two multichannel satellite
communications systems and a wireless localnetwork that provides onboard printing. For
the fastest Web and email use, the G650ER
can be equipped with optional Broadband
Multilink (BBML) high-speed data system.THE G650ER COCKPIT
FLIGHT CONTROL AT ITS BEST
The technical sophistication of the Gulfstream
G650ER improves every aspect of cockpit
capabilities. A fly-by-wire flight system
helps the G650ER achieve its unprecedented
range. The G650ER’s onboard computers
work with the pilot or on full automatic to
monitor a flight and provide small, measured
adjustments that create smoother flights
and improve passenger comfort.
With the help of the PlaneView II cockpit,
information from the Flight ManagementSystem (FMS) and the primary flight
display are presented on multiple large
format screens that give pilots the ability
to select and organize how they want flight
information displayed. Two side-mounted
Gulfstream-designed Cursor Control Devices
(CCDs) integrate with PlaneView II to allow
pilots to select and scroll where and how
they want to see airways, airports, radar
weather and other data displayed.
The G650ER’s advanced cockpit provides
the most critical information in easy-to-read
formats, which help increase situational
awareness and pilot response.Seeing Into The Future
State-of-the-art vision systems also help
pilots see more and respond faster to
changing flight conditions. With the
Enhanced Vision System (EVS) II, a nose-
mounted infrared camera allows pilots to
see more than the human eye can. Detailed
images of airports and surrounding terrain
are enhanced at night and in low-visibility
conditions. EVS images can be routed to a
Head-Up Display (HUD) that feeds data onto
a transparent screen in the pilot’s forward
field of vision.
Gulfstream also was a technology leader
in creating Synthetic Vision-Primary Flight
Display. The advanced monitoring system
blends three-dimensional color images
of terrain, obstacles and runways with
instrument readings on the pilot’s display
unit, a combination that creates a more
easily visualized landing approach for pilots.BUSINESS AVIATION
