I retired a few years ago off the G-550 and Falcon 900LX. That brought back some flows! It is nice that you can setup the cabin via MCDU #3. The 550 is a fantastic airplane, but I preferred flying the Falcon. The Easy 2 platform is amazing.
Have you ever pressed that one button no one is ever supposed to press? You know, the one that with the label, "DO NOT PRESS. EVER!" If so, what happened?
Two discrepancies noted: 1- UPS & EBHA swithes are not shown ON prior to SPOST inituayion. 3:20 2- Right Alternate Fuel Pump was shown ON with Intertank ON and then switched OFF : Why the intertank was selected ? How come onlu Right Fuel Alt Pump was ON while Cross Feed Valve was not selected , this means APU was on suction feed.
The new GVII and GVIII series have most tasks accomplished by the Data Concentration Network. Lots of pilot initiated tests on older models are now automatic.

Very exciting!!! and the plane seems to like beeping at you
Such an incredibly expensive toy😍😍
Half the buttons are for testing systems and warnings. 😮😂

For training please refer to FSI. Thanks
When I talk airplanes around people.. like talking to Forest Gump 😆
Honest question: Is there a reason startup (at least to the APU if not the engines) is not a one push-button process?
Unfortunately some test need to be done on battery power only. I agree that Apple or Tesla Style airplane would be nice ;)

i like the video alot but damn i cant watch you press buttons. your finger keeps bending in the wrong direction :D
Thanks for not doing the full sequence..that can take 30-45 minutes:)
It’s master caution sounds like ps4 trailer intro
Gulfstream clearly believes that having LOTS of buttons - and needing to press them again and again - makes someone a “real” pilot. 🙄
