According to an article I am reading, flying approaches with smoothness and precision takes practice. At high power settings, slight movements result in big thrust changes.
What type of engine is installed and is there a particular reason for this. I have never heard of it before.

It's not that uncommon.

The G100 was also the same, with it's TFE731's. The G280 has autothrust and FADEC and uses HTF7250 engines, not an issue obviously. Some G200's have autothrust.
It's not the thrust levers you need to watch on a G200, its the slats...

I came across this post and was wondering if you're rated in the G200? If so, maybe you could help me acquire PIM or POH online? If not maybe a little inside info on the airplane(: Initial training coming up in July!
Thanks!
