GENERAL INFORMATION

Type of Aircraft

This training program is for the Gulfstream IV Series (G-IV) which includes the G-IV Standard and

G-IV SP.

NOTE: Part 135 training is limited to only those specific aircraft variants within the Gulfstream

IV Series (G-IV) that are approved by the POI.

Aircraft Specific Training Appendix

This appendix contains the aircraft specific portions of the 14 CFR Part 135 training program. 

Contract Training Partners will conduct all Part 135 training and checking in accordance with this

Part 135 Pilot Training Program.

Both PIC and SIC training is accomplished using this pilot training program. Prerequisites,

completion standards, and qualification are dependant upon the level of certification required by

each individual pilot.

The subject of ground training, referred to as "general operational subjects," includes instruction on

certain operational requirements which are specific to the aircraft in which training is being

conducted. While all general operational subjects training is aircraft specific, some portions are also

operator specific and thus not trained by Contract Training Partners. These operator specific,

general operational subjects are trained by FL Air Corp. and are included in this training program.

Training may be conducted by FL Air Corp. or a Contract Training Partner. Flight training will be

conducted in a flight training device, flight simulator, aircraft, or in a combination of the above. If

training is completed entirely in an aircraft, the Flight Simulator Modules will be considered Flight

Training Modules. Flight training events deemed unsafe or impractical if attempted in actual flight

will be simulated in the aircraft to the extent possible.

FLIGHT TRAINING CURRICULUM SEGMENT

OBJECTIVE OF FLIGHT TRAINING

To provide an opportunity for a pilot to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to perform to a

desired standard. The opportunity provides for demonstration, instruction, and practice of

maneuvers and procedures pertinent to the Gulfstream IV Series. At the end of the flight training

curriculum, the pilot will be able to safely and efficiently operate the aircraft and perform the

appropriate pilot duties and responsibilities. Pilots will practice the elements of Crew Resource

Management as part of the flight training process.

Completion Standards

At the end of the Flight Training Curriculum Segment the pilot shall be able to demonstrate to the

Administrator, or properly designated Check Airman normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures

and checklists in a timely and sequentially correct manner, and perform all the maneuvers and

procedures in accordance with the Airline Transport Pilot and Aircraft Type Rating Practical Test

Standards. This includes the §135.293 check for SICs and the §135.293/297 check for PICs. In the

case of PICs, this allows for issuance of the type rating under §61.157(f).

CURRICULUM SEGMENT OUTLINE

Aircraft Orientation and Normal Procedures

This training provides instruction to develop the skill to maneuver the aircraft with and without the

automatic flight control system. The pilot will become proficient in the use of normal checklists,

standard operating procedures, precision approaches, and Nonprecision approaches.

Abnormal and Emergency Procedures

This training provides instruction to introduce and practice selected abnormal and emergency

procedures. Pilots will become proficient in engine inoperative operation while practicing

instrument maneuvers, precision and Nonprecision approaches.

In order to provide flight simulator exercises, useful in some circumstances, training events are

included in this training program addressing “unusual attitudes” which can be conducted within the

defined envelope of flight simulator operation. When a manufacturer provides predictable data from

the aircraft and that data is programmed into the flight simulator, Contract Trainers will train to the

manufacturer’s recommended procedure for recognition, and recovery from unusual attitudes.

PART 135 TRAINING PROGRAM GULFSTREAM IV SERIES (G-IV) INITIAL/TRANSITION

ORIGINAL—JUNE 4, 2009 D-15

Excursion outside of this defined envelope cannot be considered as representing the behavior of the

actual aircraft. Demonstrations of maneuvers outside of the defined flight simulator operating

envelope may be conducted at the discretion of the Training Center Manager with the caveat that

such demonstrations represent his/her opinion of aircraft behavior, but cannot be considered

accurate. 

Line Oriented Simulation Training (LOST)

This training will facilitate the transition from the fixed package of maneuvers in the Flight

Simulator Modules to crew-oriented line flying. Pilots accomplishing all of their flight

training/checking in a flight simulator (100%) will complete Line Oriented Simulation Training.

Aircraft Training (If Required)

This module will train the maneuvers for which training could not be credited in the flight simulator.

PROGRAMMED TRAINING HOURS

Each flight simulator/aircraft module is scheduled for the hours indicated in the following tables.

An additional 1.0 hour for briefing and 1.0 hour for debriefing is required.

Flight training is generally conducted as a crew; however, a pilot training alone may complete the

course with a qualified pilot acting as second crewmember. The flight training hours are specified

in the following tables. The Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not Flying (PNF) are also designated in the

following tables.

These tables summarize the training hours and modules required for pilots who wish to obtain a type

rating, ATP Certificate, or added type rating to an ATP Certificate and meet the experience

requirements in §61.63(e)(4)-(5) or §61.157(g)(3) or (4), while training in a Level C or D flight

Requirements For Reduction In Programmed Hours

A pilot may successfully complete the flight training curriculum segment without completing the

specified number of training hours when the following conditions are met:

1) The pilot successfully completes all of the training events required by the curriculum

segment.

2) An instructor recommends the instrument proficiency/competency check (if required) be

conducted before the completion of the specified number of training hours. The

recommendation must be suitably documented.

3) The pilot satisfactorily completes the instrument proficiency/competency check (if

required). If a pilot fails to complete the check due to a lack of proficiency, he/she will be

required to complete all of the training hours specified in the flight training curriculum

segment. The pilot must then be recommended by an instructor before being rechecked.

FLIGHT TRAINING MODULE OUTLINES

The maneuvers listed in the following modules indicate the training session where the training event

is first addressed. If the pilot does not demonstrate proficiency in that session, the event will be

carried forward until proficiency is demonstrated. Once proficiency is demonstrated, the event may

be considered optional for subsequent training. Based on demonstrated proficiency, events

scheduled in a subsequent module may be introduced in an earlier module.

PART 135 (ALTERNATE INITIAL/TRANSITION) TRAINING

GENERAL INFORMATION

TYPE OF AIRCRAFT: GULFSTREAM IV SERIES

This curriculum is the approved course of training which, when conducted in accordance with the

pilot training requirements of 14 CFR Part 135, leads to a §135.293 and/or §135.297 check.

Certification is in accordance with Part §61.63 or §61.157. This curriculum is based on the Airline

Transport Pilot and Aircraft Type Rating Practical Test Standards and/or the Flight Standardization

Board Reports.

The Alternate Curriculum makes use of an approved Flight Training Device (FTD) for training

certain tasks, which are creditable in an FTD. The FTD period is in lieu of one simulator training

period normally used in other flight training curriculums. The order of flight training events differs

from other initial curriculums to accommodate this substitution. Choice of curriculums depends on

availability of equipment at the time. Flight training will be conducted in a flight training device,

flight simulator, aircraft, or in a combination of flight training device, flight simulator, or aircraft.

If training is completed entirely in an aircraft, the Flight Simulator Modules will be considered

Flight Training Modules.

CURRICULUM PREREQUISITES

This curriculum is designed to accommodate pilots who are to be trained as defined in Part 135 as

requiring "Initial Training" or "Transition Training". Depending on the pilot’s experience and flight

simulator approval level, the pilot may qualify for either a 100% flight simulator curriculum or a

combination curriculum using both flight simulator and aircraft. If a 100% flight simulator

instrument proficiency/competency check is not accomplished, then aircraft training and testing will

be required.

1. Pilots will possess an ATP certificate or commercial certificate with instrument rating.

2. The pilot must be employed by a Part 135 Certificate Holder.

NOTE: It is a Part 135 Certificate Holder responsibility to ensure each pilot meets the Part 135

prerequisites for employment, prior to scheduling this training. A signature on the Training and

Checking Authorization form certifies the pilot is eligible for the course requested.

FLIGHT TRAINING CURRICULUM SEGMENT

OBJECTIVE OF FLIGHT TRAINING

To provide an opportunity for a pilot to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to perform to a

desired standard. The opportunity provides for demonstration, instruction, and practice of

maneuvers and procedures pertinent to the Gulfstream IV Series. At the end of the flight training

curriculum, the pilot will be able to safely and efficiently operate the aircraft and perform the

appropriate pilot duties and responsibilities. Pilots will practice the elements of Crew Resource

Management as part of the flight training process.

Completion Standards

At the end of the Flight Training Curriculum Segment the pilot shall be able to demonstrate to the

Administrator, or properly designated Check Airman normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures

and checklists in a timely and sequentially correct manner, and perform all the maneuvers and

procedures in accordance with the Commercial Pilot Practical Test Standards, Instrument Rating

Practical Test Standards, or Airline Transport Pilot and Aircraft Type Rating Practical Test

Standards. This includes the §135.293 check for SICs and the §135.293/297 check for PICs. In the

case of PICs, this allows for issuance of the type rating under §61.157(f).

CURRICULUM SEGMENT OUTLINE

Aircraft Orientation and Normal Procedures

This training provides instruction to develop the skill to maneuver the aircraft with and without the

automatic flight control system. The pilot will become proficient in the use of normal checklists,

standard operating procedures, precision approaches, and Nonprecision approaches.

Abnormal and Emergency Procedures

This training provides instruction to introduce and practice selected abnormal and emergency

procedures. Pilots will become proficient in engine inoperative operation while practicing

instrument maneuvers, precision and Nonprecision approaches.
FL AIR CORP.

PART 135 TRAINING PROGRAM GULFSTREAM IV SERIES (G-IV) ALTERNATE INITIAL/TRANSITION

ORIGINAL—JUNE 4, 2009 D-37

In order to provide flight simulator exercises, useful in some circumstances, training events are

included in this training program addressing “unusual attitudes” which can be conducted within the

defined envelope of flight simulator operation. When a manufacturer provides predictable data from

the aircraft and that data is programmed into the flight simulator, Contract Trainers will train to the

manufacturer’s recommended procedure for recognition, and recovery from unusual attitudes.

Excursion outside of this defined envelope cannot be considered as representing the behavior of the

actual aircraft. Demonstrations of maneuvers outside of the defined flight simulator operating

envelope may be conducted at the discretion of the Training Center Manager with the caveat that

such demonstrations represent his/her opinion of aircraft behavior, but cannot be considered

accurate. 

Line Oriented Simulation Training (LOST)

This training will facilitate the transition from the fixed package of maneuvers in the Flight

Simulator Modules to crew-oriented line flying. Pilots accomplishing all of their flight

training/checking in a flight simulator (100%) will complete Line Oriented Simulation Training.

Aircraft Training (If Required)

This module will train the maneuvers for which training could not be credited in the flight simulator.

Requirements For Reduction In Programmed Hours

A pilot may successfully complete the flight training curriculum segment without completing the

specified number of training hours when the following conditions are met:

1) The pilot successfully completes all of the training events required by the curriculum

segment.

2) An instructor recommends the instrument proficiency/competency check (if required) be

conducted before the completion of the specified number of training hours. The

recommendation must be suitably documented.

3) The pilot satisfactorily completes the instrument proficiency/competency check (if

required). If a pilot fails to complete the check due to a lack of proficiency, he/she will be

required to complete all of the training hours specified in the flight training curriculum

segment. The pilot must then be recommended by an instructor before being rechecked.

FLIGHT TRAINING MODULE OUTLINES

The maneuvers listed in the following modules indicate the training session where the training event

is first addressed. If the pilot does not demonstrate proficiency in that session, the event will be

carried forward until proficiency is demonstrated. Once proficiency is demonstrated, the event may

be considered optional for subsequent training. Based on demonstrated proficiency, events

scheduled in a subsequent module may be introduced in an earlier module.

FLIGHT TRAINING CURRICULUM SEGMENT

OBJECTIVE OF FLIGHT TRAINING

To provide an opportunity for a pilot to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to perform to a

desired standard. The opportunity provides for demonstration, instruction, and practice of

maneuvers and procedures pertinent to the Gulfstream IV Series. At the end of the flight training

curriculum, the pilot will be able to safely and efficiently operate the aircraft and perform the

appropriate pilot duties and responsibilities. Pilots will practice the elements of Crew Resource

Management as part of the flight training process.

Completion Standards

The pilot must perform all maneuvers and procedures required for a type rating, ATP Certificate,

or an added type rating to an ATP Certificate, in accordance with the Airline Transport Pilot and

Aircraft Type Rating Practical Test Standards. For SICs upgrading to PICs, this includes the

§135.293/297 check. This allows for issuance of the type rating under §61.157(f).

CURRICULUM SEGMENT OUTLINE

Aircraft Orientation and Normal Procedures

This training provides instruction to develop the skill to maneuver the aircraft with and without the

automatic flight control system. The pilot will become proficient in the use of normal checklists,

standard operating procedures, precision approaches, and Nonprecision approaches.

Abnormal and Emergency Procedures

This training provides instruction to introduce and practice selected abnormal and emergency

procedures. Pilots will become proficient in engine inoperative operation while practicing

instrument maneuvers, precision and Nonprecision approaches.

In order to provide flight simulator exercises, useful in some circumstances, training events are

included in this training program addressing “unusual attitudes” which can be conducted within the

defined envelope of flight simulator operation. When a manufacturer provides predictable data from

the aircraft and that data is programmed into the flight simulator, Contract Trainers will train to the

manufacturer’s recommended procedure for recognition, and recovery from unusual attitudes.

Excursion outside of this defined envelope cannot be considered as representing the behavior of the

actual aircraft. Demonstrations of maneuvers outside of the defined flight simulator operating

envelope may be conducted at the discretion of the Training Center Manager with the caveat that

such demonstrations represent his/her opinion of aircraft behavior, but cannot be considered

accurate.

ORIGINAL—JUNE 4, 2009 D-59

Line Oriented Simulation Training (LOST) (If Required)

This training will facilitate the transition from the fixed package of maneuvers in the Flight

Simulator Modules to crew-oriented line flying. Pilots accomplishing all of their flight

training/checking in a flight simulator (100%) will complete Line Oriented Simulation Training.

Aircraft Training (If Required)

This module will train the maneuvers for which training could not be credited in the flight simulator.

PROGRAMMED TRAINING HOURS

Each flight simulator/aircraft module is scheduled for the hours indicated in the following tables.

An additional 1.0 hour for briefing and 1.0 hour for debriefing is required.

Flight training is generally conducted as a crew; however, a pilot training alone may complete the

course with a qualified pilot acting as second crewmember. The flight training hours are specified

in the following tables. The Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not Flying (PNF) are also designated in the

following tables.

Requirements For Reduction In Programmed Hours

A pilot may successfully complete the flight training curriculum segment without completing the

specified number of training hours when the following conditions are met:

1) The pilot successfully completes all of the training events required by the curriculum

segment.

2) An instructor recommends the instrument proficiency/competency check (if required) be

conducted before the completion of the specified number of training hours. The

recommendation must be suitably documented.

3) The pilot satisfactorily completes the instrument proficiency/competency check (if

required). If a pilot fails to complete the check due to a lack of proficiency, he/she will be

required to complete all of the training hours specified in the flight training curriculum

segment. The pilot must then be recommended by an instructor before being rechecked.

FLIGHT TRAINING MODULE OUTLINES

The maneuvers listed in the following modules indicate the training session where the training event

is first addressed. If the pilot does not demonstrate proficiency in that session, the event will be

carried forward until proficiency is demonstrated. Once proficiency is demonstrated, the event may

be considered optional for subsequent training. Based on demonstrated proficiency, events

scheduled in a subsequent module may be introduced in an earlier module.

FLIGHT TRAINING CURRICULUM SEGMENT

OBJECTIVE OF FLIGHT TRAINING

To provide an opportunity for a pilot to gain the skills and knowledge necessary to perform the pilot

duties of the appropriate crew position and includes instruction and practice of maneuvers and

procedures pertinent to the Gulfstream IV Series. At the end of the flight training curriculum, the

pilot will be able to safely and efficiently operate the aircraft and perform the appropriate pilot duties

and responsibilities. Pilots will practice the elements of Crew Resource Management as part of the

flight training process.

Completion Standards

The pilot must perform all maneuvers and procedures as the obvious master of the aircraft with the

outcome of all maneuvers never in doubt. This includes the §135.293 check for SICs and the

§135.293/297 check for PICs.

CURRICULUM SEGMENT OUTLINE

Aircraft Orientation and Normal Procedures

This training provides instruction to develop the skill to maneuver the aircraft with and without the

automatic flight control system. The pilot will become proficient in the use of normal checklists,

standard operating procedures, precision approaches, and Nonprecision approaches.

Abnormal and Emergency Procedures

This training provides instruction to introduce and practice selected abnormal and emergency

procedures. Pilots will become proficient in engine inoperative operation while practicing

instrument maneuvers, precision and Nonprecision approaches.

In order to provide flight simulator exercises, useful in some circumstances, training events are

included in this training program addressing “unusual attitudes” which can be conducted within the

defined envelope of flight simulator operation. When a manufacturer provides predictable data from

the aircraft and that data is programmed into the flight simulator, Contract Trainers will train to the

manufacturer’s recommended procedure for recognition, and recovery from unusual attitudes.

Excursion outside of this defined envelope cannot be considered as representing the behavior of the

actual aircraft. Demonstrations of maneuvers outside of the defined flight simulator operating

envelope may be conducted at the discretion of the Training Center Manager with the caveat that

such demonstrations represent his/her opinion of aircraft behavior, but cannot be considered

accurate.

specified number of training hours when the following conditions are met:

1) The pilot successfully completes all of the training events required by the curriculum

segment.

2) An instructor recommends the instrument proficiency/competency check be conducted

before the completion of the specified number of training hours. The recommendation

must be suitably documented.

3) The pilot satisfactorily completes the instrument proficiency/competency check. If a pilot

fails to complete the check due to a lack of proficiency, he/she will be required to complete

all of the training hours specified in the flight training curriculum segment. The pilot must

then be recommended by an instructor before being rechecked.

D-92 ORIGINAL—JUNE 4, 2009

FLIGHT MANEUVERS AND PROCEDURES

GENERAL PILOT INFORMATION

The following flight profiles show some normal and emergency operating procedures. They are

designed as a general guide for ground training purposes. Actual in-flight procedures may differ due

to aircraft configuration, weight, weather, traffic, ATC instructions, etc. Procedures outlined are

consistent with the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM). If a conflict should develop between these

procedures and the AFM, the AFM procedures must be followed.

STABILIZED APPROACH

This training program uses the stabilized approach concept. The approach profiles are based upon

achieving a stabilized approach. Configuration changes at low altitude are limited to those changes

that can be easily accommodated without adversely affecting pilot workload. A stabilized approach

must be established before descending below the following minimum stabilized approach heights:

• 500 feet above the airport elevation during VFR or visual approaches and during

straight-in instrument approaches in VFR weather conditions

• MDA or 500 feet above airport elevation, whichever is lower, if a circling

maneuver is to be conducted after completing an instrument approach

• 1,000 feet above the airport or TDZ elevation during any straight-in instrument

approach in instrument flight conditions 

• 1,000 feet above the airport during contact approaches

If a stabilized approach cannot be achieved before descending below the above minimum stabilized

approach heights, immediate action will be taken to execute a missed approach or go-around.

STALL WARNING AND RECOVERY PROCEDURE

Perform Approach to Stall training maneuvers at 15,000 feet or above. Compute shaker and pusher

speeds for gross weight and altitude.

A. Procedure

For training purposes, accomplish approach to stall series in the following manner:

1. Visually clear the area.

2. Using the display controller, box TO/GA EPR. Reduce power and continue to trim for

hands-off flight until Vref

3. Initiate recovery at the first indication of a stall (normally, stick shaker) by holding pitch

attitude and advancing power to TO/GA EPR. Use smooth, deliberate power application

(not slam), striving for minimum altitude loss.

4. Adjust power and attitude to maintain desired airspeed and altitude.

B. Alternate Procedure

Approaches to stall may be performed in a flight simulator at an altitude that is realistic from a

performance standpoint and convenient in terms of the sequence of events. In order to facilitate

conduct of §135.293/297 Instrument Proficiency Checks, and §61.58 PIC Checks, the stall series

may be demonstrated during a phase of flight appropriate for the maneuver, with autopilot and

flight director or flight guidance coupled as desired. The following procedures and acceptable

performance criteria should be used.

1. Each of the stall series encounters should be in IMC.

2. Recovery from an approach to stall in “Clean” configuration should be initiated during

terminal area maneuvering or vectoring, at the stick-shaker. There should be no loss of

altitude in recovery to level flight and return to a speed appropriate for the configuration,

maintaining original heading +/- 10 degrees.

3. Recovery from an approach to stall during the “Departure” phase of flight, after gear-up

but prior to flap retraction, should be initiated at stick-shaker with recovery to the

appropriate speed for the departure profile without loss of altitude below that at which the

stick-shaker was encountered.

4. Recovery from an “Approach to Landing” stall, encountered during a precision approach

with gear down and flaps 39 degrees, should be a missed approach initiated at stick-shaker

with a maximum deviation of 1/4 dot below the glide slope.

D-110 ORIGINAL—JUNE 4, 2009

WINDSHEAR

The best windshear procedure is avoidance. Recognize the indications of potential windshear and

then:

AVOID AVOID AVOID

The key to recovery from windshear is to fly the aircraft so that it is capable of a climb gradient

greater than the windshear-induced loss of performance. Normally, the standard wind/gust

correction factor 1⁄2 gust will provide a sufficient margin of climb performance. If a shear is

encountered that jeopardizes safety, initiate a rejected landing procedure. If the sink rate is arrested,

continue with the procedure for microbursts.

MICROBURSTS

If a microburst is encountered, the first indication will be a rapid increase in the rate of descent

accompanied by a rapid drop below glide path (visual or electronic).

1. Disconnect the autopilot and apply Go-around power.

2. Rotate at 3-4 degrees per second to increase pitch attitude to the highest possible value.

(A pitch attitude of 25 degrees has been demonstrated on the G-IV at maximum landing

weight with flaps at 39 degrees.).

3. When stick shaker is encountered, or as Vref is approached, reduce pitch rate/angle-ofattack to intercept Vref -20 KCAS.

4. Engine overboost should be avoided unless the airplane continues to descend and airplane

safety is in doubt. When airplane safety has been assured, adjust thrust to maintain engine

parameters within approved limits.

5. DO NOT retract flaps or landing gear until safe climb-out is assured.

Crew Coordination and Division of Duties

It is of great importance that a windshear encounter be recognized as soon as possible. Timely

recognition requires effective crew coordination and appropriate callouts by the PNF. In the

recovery maneuver, the PF focuses attention on flying the airplane and takes appropriate action in

response to callouts. The PNF focuses attention on vertical flight path instruments and calls

deviations using the radio altimeter, barometric altimeter, and vertical speed indicator as appropriate.

NOTE

The positive rate of climb should be verified on at least two (2) instruments. Leave the gear

down until you have this climb indication as it will absorb some energy on impact should

the microburst exceed your capability to climb.

WARNING

If a decision is made to rotate to the stall warning, extreme care should be exercised so as

not to over-rotate beyond that point as the aircraft is only a small percentage above the stall

when the warning activates.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:

• Understand that avoidance is primary

• Ability to recognize potential windshear situations

• Ability to fly the aircraft to obtain optimum performance
