What is the wing span of the G550?
93’6”
What is the tail height?
25’11”
What is the length of the G550?
96’5”
What is “wing growth” as pertains to the G550?
The wing will swing out further than the nose during a tight turn, so any close obstacle near the aircraft must be taken into account.
What is the maximum airport pressure altitude for takeoff and landing?
14500 ft / 15000 ft
Which Gulfstream document contains the most current and regulatory operating information, and must be kept on board the aircraft?
The AFM
How can it be determined if the AFM is current?
Check the revision status page on MyGulfstream.com
What is an ASC?
Aircraft Service Change, a modification to the airframe or systems from the original design.
