Inside The $25 Million Gulfstream G200 Private Jet

0:00 - Intro
This is the Gulfstream G200, a magnificent blend of power, precision, and luxury, and today, we’re going inside it.

0:09 - Cabin
Stepping into the cabin, it becomes apparent why this jet has earned the reputation as a pioneering super-midsize corporate jet. The cabin, which measures 6 feet 3 inches or 1.90 meters in height, is noticeably spacious, allowing most individuals to stand fully upright, and the width of 7 feet 2 inches or 2.18 meters further enhances the sense of space.
Upon entering the G200, you’re greeted by a standard eight-seat configuration, but the aircraft offers a variety of configurations, accommodating anywhere from 8 to 19 passengers.
Each seat is a masterclass in comfort and luxury, upholstered with high-quality materials and equipped with an individual climate control system.
Beyond the seating, the cabin features an audio and visual DVD system, an airshow system, and individual headsets, offering plenty of entertainment options. Additionally, the constant fresh air circulation contributes to the overall sense of well-being within the cabin.
Despite the myriad in-cabin luxuries, the G200 doesn't compromise on functionality. The cabin is equipped with a 125-cubic-foot or 3,500-liter heated and pressurized baggage bay.
With a maximum pressure differential of 8.8, the G200 is capable of maintaining a sea-level cabin altitude at an altitude of 23,000 feet or 7,000 meters. 16 windows surround the cabin, allowing a light environment for productive business or a relaxing view.

2:59 - Cockpit
The cockpit is centered around the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 avionics suite, a fully integrated system offering advanced navigation and communication capabilities.
Pro Line 4 offers an impressive array of features to enhance flight safety and operational efficiency. Five screens are utilized in this arrangement, with one main Engine Indicating and Crew Alert System screen in the center, surrounded by four smaller screens that display relevant flight and system information.
The screens are large and easy-to-read liquid crystal displays that present crucial flight information in an intuitive manner, including primary flight data, navigation, and engine parameters. Flight planning, weather data presentation, terrain awareness, and traffic collision avoidance are all efficiently managed through the system.
The aircraft also features a Traffic Collision Avoidance System.
For increased situational awareness, the Pro Line 4 suite includes a Terrain Awareness Warning System, providing the flight crew with visual and audio warnings in case of possible terrain collision.
Ergonomically, the cockpit is designed to be pilot-friendly. The placement of switches, knobs, and screens has been done with careful thought towards reducing the amount of time pilots need to take their eyes off the primary flight instruments. The pilot seats are comfortable and adjustable, providing ample room for maneuverability and reducing fatigue on long-haul flights.

5:19 - Engine and Performance
Talking about performance, the G200 is powered by 2 Pratt & Whitney PW306A engines with a TBO of 6,000 hours, each producing 6,040 lbs of thrust. The flight experience is often described as smooth and comfortable.
The aircraft requires 6,080 feet or 1,850 meters of runway to take off on a standard day. At an airport with an altitude of 5,000 feet or 1,525 meters, it increases to 8,800 feet or 2,680 meters. The engines allow the plane to climb to an altitude of 37,000 feet or 11,280 meters in just 19 minutes, featuring a maximum rate of climb per minute of 3,700 feet or 1,130 meters, and a maximum cruising altitude of 45,000 feet or 13,700 meters. The plane has a maximum cruise speed of 430 knots, with an average hourly fuel burn of 230 gallons or 870 liters. The G200 can reach a maximum speed of 470 knots or Mach 0.84.
The jet has a maximum range of 3,400 nautical miles, which is 3,900 miles or 6,300 kilometers, and a minimum landing distance of 2,600 feet or 782 meters considering 4 passengers, all while maintaining a maximum net payload of 4,000 lbs or 1,800 kg and a full-fuel payload of 650 lbs or 295 kg.

8:05 - Purchase and Charter Price
The base purchase price for a new G200 is $25 million before options, and the charter price is estimated at $8,000 to $12,000 per hour. Naturally, prices will vary depending on availability, fuel prices, ground fees, and more.

8:22 - Operating Cost
While the annual fixed cost is roughly $600,000 to $900,000, the average hourly operating cost is estimated at $4,000 to $6,000.
