Gulf IV Speeds?

Postby MickeyMouse » Sun Mar 07, 2004 2:32 pm

Could someone please let me know where I can find the following speeds for the Gulf IV?  This is my favorite Jet to fly and I'm looking for this information for proper approach speeds.

Approach Speed @ 8% flaps
Approach Speed @ 20% flaps
Landing Speed with full flaps
Stall Speed

If you're referring to the Gulfstream G4, it's now called the G500 by Gulfstream. This may help your search a bit if you tried one. The Gulfstream website only lists customer tailored "eyecatcher" numbers.......max alt. 51,000 feet/mach .885 etc. etc.   The stall on this airplane will vary with weight and temperature. It's much more entailed on a jet than it is on a small aircraft(the smaller a/c normally using a fixed number). Approx. speeds should be around 210 for flaps 8 and 180 for flaps 20.  I would guess around 110-120 for max. gross, standard temp. stall.   Just take the thing out and stall it and see what happens! If you're really hardcore about the airplane, go to Ebay and find a manual(probably $50-$200 US). That may be the only way to get numbers, especially the stall speed(which requires reference to a chart).

Actually, we're both wrong. G4=G300 G4SP=G400  G5=G500 and G5SP=G550.  


        i think............    ::) :-[   That's the best that I can determine from the website. Very nice site BTW if you're in the market.

Yea, that's right... I'm in on buying one.  Let me get out the check book... let's see now, that's how many zero's after the 35?   ;D

The more I read about it's features, the more I want one... LOL.  I have no idea if the IV available for FS2004 fly's anything like the real one, but it is really smooth.  I love the 4x14" screen's in the new G series.

Thanks
