Gulfstream G550 G450 Differences

Are you transitioning from the Gulfstream G550 to the G450? With FlightSafety's G550 to G450 Differences course, you will learn about structural differences, operational differences in the cockpit, and any limitations or performance differences that affect flight operations.

The Differences training consists of a 90-minute, self-paced eLearning course and a 90-minute practical session on a Graphical Flight Simulator (GFS) that can be taken at FlightSafety Savannah, Long Beach, Wilmington, or Farnborough, UK.

Upon successfully completing the eLearning course and passing the assessment, you will be issued a Knowledge Test Report which is required for scheduling the practical portion of the course.

You will have 90 days from the issue date of the Knowledge Test Report to complete the practical session.
