Never had the pleasure of sitting in a GV so I could be talking out of my arze here but it looks high tech enough to have FADEC and therefore should be pretty easy to start.......................or am I barking up the wrong tree

Don't see the problem. Cabin Attendant was able to get it up and running (APU and engines) on the GLEX with only the use of the checklist - even though she had know idea of what any button or switch meant.

It's no big deal. Now that 540, that is another thing!!

Very difficult, if not impossible! (that's what I tell the boss, the more complex it looks, the better

I do recall once when doing my PPL at Maastricht, Colin McCrae's Biz Jet N525CM landed and parked next to me. Got talking to the pilot in the crew room who then handed me the keys to have a look around........ to cut a long story short, even the prospect of a firey death or an exceedingly lengthy prison sentence were barely enough to stop me trying it out!!!!!!
