1 Appendix 3 52-53 7/28/2009
This is revision 1 of the G150 FSB Report. Appendix 3 has been added to include G150 Steep Approach Operations.
1.1 The Gulfstream G150 is listed on FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet A16NM and is hereafter referred to as the “G150”.
1.2 The primary purpose of this report is to specify FAA master training, checking, and currency requirements applicable to crews operating the G150.
1.3 This report will aid 14 CFR part 135 Operators, FAA Principal Operations Inspectors (POIs), and 14 CFR part 142 training centers and their FAA Training Center Program Managers (TCPMs) in the development and approval of 14 CFR part 135 and 142 training programs. Provisions of this report are effective until amended, superseded, or withdrawn by subsequent FSB determinations.
1.4 This report also addresses certain criteria regarding the operation of the G150 other than under 14 CFR part 135. Provisions of the report include:
1.4.1 Defining pilot "type rating",
1.4.2 Description of "Master Common Requirements" (MCRs),
1.4.3 Description of "Master Differences Requirements" (MDR's) for crews requiring differences qualification for mixed-fleet-flying or transition,
1.4.4 Examples of acceptable "Operator Difference Requirement (ODR)" Tables,
1.4.5 Description of an acceptable training program, special emphasis items, and training device characteristics when necessary to establish compliance with pertinent Master Differences Requirements (MDRs),
1.4.6 Setting checking and currency standards, including specification of those checks that must be administered by FAA or operators, and
1.4.7 A listing of regulatory compliance status (compliance checklist) for 14 CFR parts 91 and 135, Advisory Circulars, and other operationally related criteria that was reviewed and evaluated by the Aircraft Evaluation Group (AEG) or Flight Standardization Board (FSB).
1.5 This report also provides:
1.5.1 Minimum pilot training, checking and currency requirement that must be applied by: FAA field offices (i.e. MCRs, MDRs, ODRs, etc.), Aviation Safety Inspectors, 14 CFR part 135 Air Carrier Check Airmen and Instructors, Airline Transport Pilots instructing in air transportation service, Certificated Flight Instructors, Certificated Ground Instructors, Designated Pilot Examiners, Pilot Proficiency Examiners, and Training Center Evaluators.
1.5.2 Information which is advisory in nature, but may be mandatory for particular operators if the designated configurations apply and if approved for that operator (i.e. MDR footnotes and acceptable ODR Tables).
1.5.3 Information which is used to facilitate FAA review of an airplane type proposed for use by an operator.
Various sections of this report are qualified as to whether compliance (considering the provisions of FAA Advisory Circular 120-53) is required or is advisory in nature.
1.6 Relevant acronyms are defined as follows:
GAC Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation
GALP Gulfstream Aerospace Limited Partnership
The term "must" is used in this report, even though it is recognized that this report, and the Advisory Circular AC 120-53 on which it is based, provides one acceptable means, but not necessarily the only means, of compliance with 14 CFR part 135 Subpart H requirements. The term "must" acknowledges the need for operators to fully comply with the FSB report provisions if AC-120-53 is to be used by the operator as its means of complying with 14 CFR part 135, Subpart H.
1.8.1 In Jan-Feb. 2006, the G150 FAA Flight Standardization Board (FSB) received a G150 initial pilot ground school utilizing the training facilities of Flight Safety International in Dallas, TX. Training was conducted in classrooms, and consisted of instructor led PowerPoint presentations as well as interactive computer based instruction. The FSB then received aircraft training in the G150 (N150GA) in Dallas, TX. No simulators were used. The FSB conducted AC 120-53 test T5, which is an evaluation of the maneuvers listed in the FAA ATP Practical Test Standards (PTS) for pilot type ratings. The FSB also conducted three operational suitability flights to validate proposed AFM normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures.
2.1 In accordance with the provisions of 14 CFR parts 1, 61, and 135, the G150 pilot type rating is separate from all other Gulfstream and Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) aircraft and is designated as “G150”.
2.2 The Gulfstream G150 has not been issued a new Type Certificate (TC) Data Sheet. It was added to the existing Model 1125 Westwind Astra, Model Astra SPX, Model Gulfstream 100 TC Data Sheet A16NM. The G150 however, is not considered a variant or derivative of the Model 1125 Westwind Astra, Model Astra SPX, or Model Gulfstream 100 aircraft for pilot type rating purposes. The FSB did not conduct a comparison between the G150 and any other Gulfstream or IAI model aircraft for pilot type rating purposes; therefore, no credit may be given between the G150 and any other Gulfstream or IAI model aircraft for training, checking, or currency. “MASTER COMMON REQUIREMENTS" (MCRs) (Reserved for possible future G150 Variants)
3 “MASTER DIFFERENCE REQUIREMENTS" (MDRs) (Reserved for possible future G150 Variants)
4 (Reserved for possible future G150 Variants)
5.1.1 The provisions of this training section apply to the G150, to programs for airmen having previous experience in 14 CFR part 91 or 14 CFR part 135 air carrier operations, and multi-engine turbojet or turboprop aircraft. Additional requirements, as determined by the operator’s POI, the FSB, AFS-200, and AFS-800 may be necessary for airmen not having such experience. Appendix 1 contains a list of special emphasis items to be included in an approved training program.
5.2 Initial, Transition and Upgrade Training:
6.2.1 Pilot Initial, Transition, and Upgrade Ground Training is accomplished in
accordance with 14 CFR part 135.343, 135.345, and SFAR 14 CFR SFAR
58, Advanced Qualification Program (AQP).
6.2.2 Pilot Initial, Transition, and Upgrade Flight Training is accomplished in
accordance with 14 CFR part 135.347.
5.3 Recurrent Training:
6.3.1 Recurrent Ground Training is accomplished in accordance with 14 CFR
part 135.351 and SFAR part 58 (AQP).
6.3.2 Recurrent Flight Training is accomplished in accordance with 14 CFR part
135.351 and requires that the pilot be proficient in those maneuvers and
procedures that are required for the original issuance of the pilot certificate.
5.4 Other Training:
6.4.1 Flight Attendant Training is accomplished in accordance with 14 CFR part
135.341 if a flight attendant is utilized. The G150 has a maximum seating
capacity of 9 passenger seats and therefore, does not require a Flight Attendant.
6.4.2 Aircraft Dispatcher Training, Flight Engineer Training, and Flight
Navigator Training are not applicable.
7.1.1 The provisions of this checking section apply to the G150.Testing, Checking and Evaluations specified by 14 CFR parts 61.57, 61.58, 61.63, 61.67, 61.157, 61.159, 135.293, 135.297, SFAR 58, and FAA Practical Test Standards (PTS) apply.
7.1.2 The following areas must be demonstrated during checking:
a. Proficiency in manual and automatic (including FMS) flight in normal, abnormal, and emergency situations must be demonstrated at each proficiency/competency check by all crewmembers.
b. Demonstration of a no flap approach and landing during a pilot type rating or 14
CFR part 135 check is required per the Airline Transport Pilot and/or Type
Rating Practical Test Standards - FAA-S-8081 Area of Operation VI, Task F. In
accordance with Order 8400.10, when the flight demonstration is conducted in
an airplane, verses a simulator, touchdown from a no flap approach is not
required. The approach should be flown to the point where the inspector or
examiner can determine whether a touchdown at an acceptable point on the
runway and a safe landing to a full-stop could be made.
6.2 Type Ratings:
Type rating Practical Tests are administered in accordance with 14 CFR parts 61.63, 61.157, 61.159, SFAR 58 and the Practical Test Standards.
6.3 Competency/Proficiency Checks and Evaluations:
Competency/Proficiency checks and evaluations are administered in accordance with 14 CFR parts 61.58, SFAR 58, 135.293, and 135.297.
7.1 Currency (Recency of Experience):
Currency will be maintained, or re-established, in accordance with 14 CFR parts 61.57, 61.58, 135.247 and/or 135.351.
Operating Rules Compliance Checklist:
The Operating Rules Compliance Checklist is provided as an aid to FAA Certificate Holding District Offices (CHDOs) to identify those specific rules or policies for which compliance has already been demonstrated to the FAA for a particular aircraft. The checklist also notes rules or policies, which must be demonstrated to CHDOs by the operator. Not all rules or policies are necessarily listed or addressed. It is the responsibility of the CHDO to review compliance with pertinent rules or policies not already satisfactorily addressed in the Operating Rules Compliance Checklist, prior to 14 CFR part 135 approval for an operator to use the G150 in service. The Operating Rules Compliance Checklist in Appendix 2 reflects the status of the first production G150 aircraft flown by the FSB on February 14, 2006. The aircraft serial number was 202 and bore U.S. Registration number N150GA.
8.1 Aircraft Proving Tests:
Proving tests in accordance with 14 CFR part 135.145 and FAA Order 8400.10, Vol. 3, Chapter 9, are appropriate when the G150 is new to a particular operator. No credit may be given between any other Gulfstream or IAI aircraft and the G150.
9.1 Device and Simulator Characteristics:
10.1.1 Device and simulator characteristics are designated in AC 120-40 and 120-45 (as amended).
10.1.2 The acceptability of differences between devices, simulators, and aircraft must be addressed by the POI.
9.2 Device Approval:
10.2.1 Requests for device approval should be made to the POI. The POI may approve these devices for that operator if their characteristics clearly meet the established FAA criteria and have been approved by the National Simulator Program (NSP).
10.1 All relevant parts of this report are applicable to operators on the effective date of this report.
11 E TO THIS REPORT
11.1 Approval Level and Criteria
11.1.1 The FSB chairman should be consulted by the POI when alternate means of compliance, other than those specified in this report, are proposed. Alternate means of compliance must be approved by the FAA Air Transportation Division, AFS-200 and Commercial and General Aviation Division AFS-800 Washington Headquarters. If an alternate means of compliance is sought, operators will be required to submit a proposed alternate means for approval that provides an equivalent level of safety to the provisions of AC 120-53 and this FSB report. Analysis, demonstrations, proof of concept testing, differences documentation, and/or other evidence may be required.
11.1.2 In the event that alternate compliance is sought, training program hour reductions, simulator approvals, and device approvals may be significantly limited and reporting requirements may be increased to ensure an equivalent level of training, checking, and currency. FAA will generally not consider relief through alternate compliance means unless sufficient lead-time has been planned by an operator to allow for any necessary testing and evaluation.
14 SUPPLEMENTAL BOARD REPORT - PART II
14.1 Part II of the FSB report contains historical development information used to develop Part I. This information is kept on file at the Long Beach Aircraft Evaluation Group, (LGB AEG), 3960 Paramount Boulevard, Suite 100, Lakewood, CA 90712-4137.
G150 Master Minimum Equipment List
G150 Operational Manuals
G150 Training syllabus of FSB members
G150 Airplane Flight Manual
G150 FAA FSB Order (FSB member list)
G150 Operational Issue Papers
The FSB has identified several aircraft systems and/or procedures that should receive special emphasis in a G150 Training Program:
1) Flight Management System (FMS)
2) Traffic Collision and Avoidance System (TCAS)
Systems Integration Training:
1) Flight Guidance System (FGS)
2) Primary Flight Display (PFD) mode annunciators
3) Flight Management System (FMS)
4) Cursor Control Device (CCD)
5) MultiFunction Display (MFD) controls
6) Elevator Trim Systems (normal, override, and emergency)
Flight Training (Full Flight Simulator - Level C or D and/or aircraft):
1) Dual Generator Failure procedure
2) Approach & landing from left seat with forward windscreen obscured (using left side window for forward view)
The FSB also found that early exposure to the FGS and FMS is important, especially for pilots with no previous EFIS or FMS experience. Establishing early confidence in manually flying the aircraft, converting from manual to automatic (FMS controlled) flight mode and back is equally important due to heavy reliance on the FGS. In the event of a flight path deviation due to input error or system malfunction, the flight crew must be able to comfortably transition from automatic to manual mode and back in an orderly fashion.
The FSB did not find any Special Flight Characteristics.
Serial number 202 was utilized by the FSB to conduct it’s evaluation on February 14, 2006. 202 was a flight test aircraft that had been modified to become prodcustion equivalent. It enabled the FSB to determine compliance with the appropriate 14 CFR part 91 and 135 operating require-ments. The attached checklist provides the FSB’s findings on those operating requirements.
Any U.S. operator wishing to operate the G150 aircraft will have to demonstrate to the FAA that the aircraft fully complies with all applicable 14 CFR parts prior to that aircraft entering service. This checklist may be used by the operator to show compliance with those items listed in it.
