FAA validates GIV-SP synthetic vision upgrade

摘要

Opaerators of Gulfstream GIV-SP business jets equipped with PlaneDeck avionics can now add synthetic vision to its suite of cockpit functions, following approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration for the retrofit. Similar supplemental type certification is now being sought for the GV and GIV business jets. "This upgrade will ensure the nearly 325 GIV-SPs in service worldwide remain a valuable asset for years to come," says Gulfstream's president of customer support, Derek Zimmerman. "Synthetic vision is one of the best safety features a business jet can have."
