Thanks for explaining that envoy.

With the G650 being FBW though, do you have any idea why Gulfstream haven't sorted out the control issues you mentioned? I would have thought it would be fairly easy to sort out.

Im quite surprised that there is no autoland capability. The flight deck looks pretty capable, so Im guessing its a conscious decision revolving around perceived need? Compared to an airliner perhaps a business jet operation can afford to wait a couple of hours?
