Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has announced that the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has certified the Gulfstream G600 for a steep approach to land, expanding access to more airports around the world. The G600 demonstrated its steep-approach capabilities through low-speed handling and short-field landings at some of the world’s most challenging airports, such as London City Airport in England and Lugano Airport in Switzerland. These airports have specific requirements for steep-approach operations due to their short runways and geographical location.
The G600 is known for its class-leading fuel efficiency and exceptional performance. It can travel 6,600 nautical miles/12,223 kilometers at Mach 0.85 or 5,600 nm/10,371 km at Mach 0.90. The interior of the G600 — which received an award for its design — accommodates up to four living areas. It provides exceptional comfort with features such as abundant natural light from 14 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows, 100 percent fresh air, whisper-quiet sound levels, and a low cabin altitude that enhances the Gulfstream Cabin Experience.
