Gulfstream 350 Receives FAA Approval

The FAA last month awarded type certification to the Gulfstream 350, an upgraded version of the previously manufactured G300. Compared with the G300, the new model has a roomier cabin, cockpit and baggage area and the PlaneView flight deck, which is based on Honeywell Primus Epic avionics. The G350 offers a maximum range of 3,800 nm, 200 nm more than that of the G300. The midrange G350 is similar in terms of size and amenities to its sister ship, the long-range G450, which can fly 500 nm farther. The $27.5 million G350 is expected to enter service next summer.
