Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.'s new
best-in-class G280 aircraft recently
set 15 new city-pair speed records
as part of the company's reliability
demonstration program. The 250-hour
internal testing program, among the
most extensive voluntary reliability
programs ever implemented by
Gulfstream, served to enhance fleet
reliability, enrich pilot training and
improve customer readiness.
"The Gulfstream reliability
demonstration program incorporates
pilot check rides, maintenance on
auxiliary power units, engine run
qualifications, technical operations,
publications validations and
basic servicing and handling at
typical fixed-base operators," said

Mark Burns, president, Product
Support. "This is just one more
way we are going above and
beyond for our customers, ensuring
they have the most reliable and
high-performing aircraft."
Of the 15 new city-pair speed
records set as part of the program,
the most notable were a flight from
Aspen, Colo., to Fort Lauderdale,
Fla., and one from Honolulu to
Savannah. The super mid-sized
aircraft has established 22 speed
records since setting its first in May.
"Two of these new speed records
are particularly significant because
they demonstrate the G280's capability
to reach the East Coast from Aspen
and to travel an exceptional distance,"
said Scott Neal, senior vice president,
Sales and Marketing, Gulfstream.
"The G280 continues to prove its
tremendous reliability, range, speed
and performance for our customers."
The G280 flew from Aspen-
Pitken County Airport to Fort
Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport in 3 hours and 21 minutes.
It flew 1,640 nautical miles (3,038
km) at an average cruise speed of
Mach 0.84. On board were demo
pilots Santiago Koritschoner, Brian
Erickson and Stephanie Ruyle.
The G280 flew from Honolulu
to Savannah in 8 hours and 19
minutes, a total of 4,124 nautical
miles (7,638 km) at an average speed
of Mach 0.80. On board were Brian
Dickerson, senior production test
pilot; Scott Evans, engineering test
pilot; and Scott Blouin, avionics
and electrical technician.
The city-pair speed records
have been certified by the
National Aeronautic Association,
the official record keeper for
U.S. aviation, and forwarded
to the Federation Aeronautique
Internationale in Switzerland for
approval as world records.
The G280 is certified to fly
3,600 nm (6,667 km) with four
passengers at Mach 0.80 with NBAA
IFR reserves, some 200 nm farther
than the company announced at
the program's launch in 2008. In
addition to more range, the aircraft's
balanced field length has been
reduced from 4,960 feet (1,512 m)
to 4,750 feet (1,448 m). This field
length is an improvement of more
than 1,300 feet compared to the
G200, the aircraft the G280 replaces.
The aircraft entered into
service on November 14, 2012. ·

include intelligence reporting, remote
site visits, ground and air service
options, and logistics coordination.
