The G550 is a obviously a nice flying machine, but man it´s heavy on the flight controls (especially the roll) compared to the G650! Beautiful location and great video! Cheers.
@@GulfstreamGeek 🧐🧐 Did you mean G4 not 450?? The 450 is lighter on the controls than the 550. I’d rank the control feel. Heaviest G4 G5/550 G450 G650 Lightest.
Me neither. I’ve been flying with the hud since 2001 and I’ve tried to convert others, but they just won’t. Most people don’t like change. When I switched to a different manufacturer, but also with a hud, it was so much easier in my opinion to learn this new aircraft.
@@SpidaMez that’s absolute BS. That’s the excuse that people use who don’t want to learn the HUD. It doesn’t take away from the visibility. If that was true, the Airforce would take the hud out of all their fighters. And no, it doesn’t make a pilot lazy. It’s actually the opposite. Flying with a hud, makes a pilot not have tunnel vision by staring at their instruments inside. You can even see it on these UA-cam videos, as soon as VR is called, their eyes go from looking down the runway, inside to their instruments. They wouldn’t even know how to fly the airplane by looking outside at the horizon. I can fly my airplane with or without a hud, just by looking outside. I don’t need my instruments what a 15° pitch up looks like. I can tell just by looking outside and without a hud.
@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Hud makes pilots worse pilots. You lose the skill of being able to picture the horizon and get the feel for straight and level flight. That is one of the most important aspects of flying a plane. If the hud and instruments fail, it will make you crash. TLDR. relying on fancy technology to fly a plane is fucking stupid. that's why a ton of airline pilots have crashed small planes, and recently an idiot got lost in IMC cuz he relyed on foreflight
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE DREAM RIGHT HERE
Sounds like a godess during flight, during touchdown like an old russian Skoda from 1965!
So true lol
Isn’t Skoda Czech?
😂😂 Yup - on the ground it sounds like a jalopy!
We can blame the runway condition for at least 10% of that. 😂
Perfect Landing, not a single thing to complain about!

Totally agree, it’s a dream compared to the 450 though. The 550 feels like it’s a sports car compared to that one.

Heaviest

G650
Lightest.
What a landing 🤩
This video was Fyre!
Beautiful!!!
The fries are ready alarm went off at 300 ft
Wow Microsoft Flight Sim is getting very realistic!
Good job!
Thanks!
Did you flare? Because I couldn't tell by the video.
Very little, we were performing a short field landing and did not want to waste any runway by floating past our aiming point.
larger planes dont, the wheels are so far back if you "flare" youll jam the mains into the ground and bounce. U land flat.
Wow, when that plane touches down it sounds like a kids wagon being pulled through rocks!
Haha, that’s spot on. Definitely not the smoothest runway I’ve landed on!
@@militantnormal428 Yup! Does NOT sound like a high tech private jet. 😂😂
Amazing!!
Dope!
Hi! Is it Bose Quiet Comfort 35II?
Yes, with the UFlyMike kit attached.
@@GulfstreamGeek thanks so much!!!
How long ago was this? Plenty of room on the ramp? What about PCN numbers?
This was in Q1 2023. Thankfully we were the only jet on the ramp, accompanied by 2 small piston aircraft.
Is that Joe coming back home? I think his home the "Volcano" might need a little maintenance to make it move in ready.
Nice, a REAL AIRPLANE.
Wow, 20 ft over the threshold like a Cessna
A couple wings, some engines, and a yoke….if you can fly one, you can fly them all!
nice
Guai lui frai ❤🎉

I’ve never understood why some people don’t use the HUD when it’s available.
Me neither. I’ve been flying with the hud since 2001 and I’ve tried to convert others, but they just won’t. Most people don’t like change.
When I switched to a different manufacturer, but also with a hud, it was so much easier in my opinion to learn this new aircraft.
hud takes away from visibility, so not having it on a visual approach helps the pilot.
Plus, the HUD can make a pilot lazy and takes away from skill
@@SpidaMez that’s absolute BS. That’s the excuse that people use who don’t want to learn the HUD.

@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 Im not arguing with you about how huds are helpful, im sure they are, but they cause more issues than solve
