Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
EVS infrared standard, a game-changer for situational awareness
It was the first business aircraft with an infrared Enhanced Vision System as standard equipment. Allows CAT II/III-equivalent landings without ILS, critical at remote airports and in snow/fog.
Limitations
Classic cockpit yoke, no fly-by-wire
Despite PlaneView being advanced for its time, it retains mechanical yokes and conventional hydraulic flight controls, unlike the fly-by-wire active sidestick of the G500/G600/G700.
Curiosities
More than 600 units, ULR segment record
With more than 600 deliveries between 2003 and 2021, it is the most-produced ULR aircraft in history, ahead of the Global Express XRS, Falcon 7X and even the original GV. Global fleet in 30+ countries.
