G4 0 flap TO
I am a little behind the game here, please help assist my memory.
I was certain the G4 SP had no performance data published for ZERO flap take off. Is there an unofficial set of data. A friend of mine was reliably informed !!!! that they witnessed a G4SP operated by a very respectable corporate company, depart with ZERO flap. They are in the business, but might be mistaken. Thanks boffins. |
Normal GIV Takeoff:
The following procedures are recommended for the Gulfstream IV and V aircraft for either an Autothrottle engaged or Manual takeoff: ... 1) Utilize EPR (Min/Rated or Flex) and 20° flaps for all takeoffs. ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In Santa Ana John Wayne/Orange County (KSNA) for example, you have a "Quiet Flying" procedure which asks to perform a flaps retraction to 0° at 500 feet AGL. |
G-IV 0 Flaps T/O
If you have a flap malfunction that requires movement of aircraft with less than 10 flaps (min for t/o), Gulfstream has unpublished numbers they can give you for a one time t/o. They will only issue you them after a ferry permit or the like is obtained. You will get a fax with all perf numbers and runway required for the particular day.

better late then never
Thank you for the response, I have been to SAV since this incident and received the same answer.
However the incident in question, the driver did not take the steps mentioned... Many thanks |

Were the slats extended? why I ask is that a zero flap T/O with slats fully extended was fairly routine on the DC9 30/50 we used to fly Regards VP TAA |
the g4 does not have slats. In fact, none of the G series has any leading edge devices.

VP TAA--Doing the 0-Flap take off in the DC-9-50 required a LOT of runway! Some of our more "literal" pilots did not extend the slats...:eek: :eek: :eek:
In any event, not for the faint of heart!:D TC |
