[Koninc01]

Can someone tell me if the Global has a door separating the cockpit from the (front) galley?

Thanks guys

[PLovett]

Yes. :ok:

G550 has a door between the fwd galley and the flight deck..:ok: sorry you asked about the Global :p

[demon_duck]

It depends on what the original purchaser asked for. The interior can be what ever you pay for. I've seen with, and mostly without.

Must have seen over 100 Global interiors and not one of them had a cockpit door. Why would you want one?... its not like the owner is going to come forward and hijack their own plane.

"not like the owner is going to come forward and hijack their own plane".

Hmm, some of the owners I've encountered, not so sure about that ! OB

[AircraftOperations]

It's not always the owner that flies on an aircraft... anyone with enough $ can charter one.

[specialbrew]

So should we have cockpit doors on all our biz jets?... that would look very funny in a Lear or Citation:ok:

Hey.... lets not stop at just Biz Jets... how about ALL public transport flights. Surprised the Feds in the US have not already implemented that one.

I'm with Demon Duck on this one. Depends what client specified.

Damn! I love Special Brew/ Offenbachs' idea of hijacking my own aircraft. I would be paying for the crew to fly me to Berlin, but then threaten them with a revolver and request they take me to Cuba instead! Excellent.

No doors on globals please, i don't want anything impeding the flight attendants ability to serve sushi and steak!

[learjet50]

The doors are so flimsy a strong gust with the bag door open will break the frame and the door will flail about.

Don't ask how I know...:(

i think - it´s a matter of certification, isn´t it?

i have not yet seen a biz-jet with a door between galley and flightdeck -
all (or at least most) biz jets are certified for operation with crew 2/0 with 20pax-seats or less - it is nice to have a FA or inflight service personal, but not a must have.

so if you have a flightdeck door - the pilots can not look to the cabin directly, evenmore, if the door gets jammed during an accident, they can not access the cabin/leave the flightdeck and assist the pax.

do not mix the flightdeck-galley door with the galley-cabin door..., these must be opened during take of and landing - i guess due to above noted regulations.

With most large cabin business jets, having a cockpit door is strictly up to the owner. On our Falcon 900EX we had a door between the galley and the cabin and a door between the cockpit and the galley.

For the aircraft to be certified with the cockpit doors, they had to placarded "To Remain Open for Takeoff and Landing."

However, even if left closed, they can easily be kicked or pushed open in case of an accident.

I also have flown Sabreliners and Falcon 50s with cockpit doors.

[Gulfstreamaviator]

one between the forward galley, and the cockpit, and another between to ghalley and the main Cabin, and actually a third door, to permit the front lav to be used, without cabin crew assistance.

all to be open for take off etc, etc.

thx 4 info...

i was not aware, that there are so many bizjets with flightdeckdoors around...
so my thoughts about certification might not be correct.
