G4 Type Rating
Looking into doing a G4 Type Rating in the US. How long does the course take and what would the cost be? Is there a cost reduction if there are two candidates? Do you need to prove employment with a G4 operator to do the course? Any infomation would be a great help. Thank you in advance.

GIV Type Rating.
Plan on 22 Days for the GIV with type rating endorsed on a ICOA FAA License. Same for JAA but you will then have to do circuits to have the Type added to your License with a TRE/TRI.
No real reduction for 2 people, however deals are available etc. FSI has centres for the GIV at Long Beach /Wilmington DE/ Dallas/Savannah GA.
Simuflite Dallas and Morristown.
I have trained at both centers and find simuflite better on price than FSI by aound 20-30% they offer instructors whom are valid on type and actually flying the aircraft.
FSI has the added advantage of being next to the Savannah Facility and Hands on approach.
Make sure you shop around in this very depressed market.
SmartCockpit - Airline training guides, Aviation, Operations, Safety
Is a great tool for pre study as well.
I am rated on the GIV and GV both as Pilot and Engineer if you need any help PM me.

When I was at CAE in November they were doing a 2 for the price of 1 deal so shop around.
CAE DXB runs hot and cold, the mob I work for has 4 G4s and have had mixed results from the DXB facility.
I'm here in Sydney too so PM me if you need anything else. Is dead set easy to have CASA put the rating on an Aussie licence if its on the FAA ATPL, if however you do a straight rating and try to put the rating on an Aussie licence its like pulling teeth!!! just dont do it.
There are ways of having your Aussie IR renewed when you do it in the sim o/s but it requires pre-planing and a bit of effort.

Here is the JAA list of what you can fly with a specific type rating.

Gulfstream types
There are no G300 or G400's according to Gulfstream. The GV type is good for 350, 450, GV, G500 and G550. If commercial operation a differences class is required, if private its up to your insurance carrier. (The G450 is a GIV-X, yet it requires a GV type rating).

Sorry to side track the conversation.
Would a full type rating required for someone with the GIV rating to convert to the G 550? Or is it just the differences ? The two types are not all different or are they ?

Yes, it requires a full type rating course as they are different types. There are al ot of similarities, yet enough differences for you to have to pay for the full type.
In my opinion the 450 should be a GIV type rating, as it has more in common with the 4 than a 550.

GIV Vs. 450
The GIV has a lot more in common with the 450 than the 550. (Engines, wings, flight characteristics etc.) The Planeview takes 30 minutes to figure out. (I fly the 450 and 550, used to fly the 5 and 4).
Flying a 550 after the GIV is a whole different game, the 5/550 is a huge glider compared to the 4/450.

Hi Mutt
The GIV and the G5 are very different airplanes when it comes to systems and handling, not to mention performance.
The G5 has a huge wing and BMW/Rolls Royce engines. The GIV has a smaller wing and the RR Tay engines. Electrical system is also different, some flight controls are different as well.
Typical ref speeds in the GIV are 130-140, the G5 low on fuel is down to 108 kias.
