Gulfstream Checklist is HUGE! -Tech Tuesday 

They must've had to engineer the aircraft for the extra added weight of that handbook! 😁 Super interesting, Shaun - thanks for taking the time to share this with all of us. Stay safe out there.👍🍻

Hi Shaun, a viewer asked about having the QRH on the iPad. Yes, there is an iPad app called “PlaneBook”, and it contains all of the pilot’s manuals including the QRH, plus much more. There is a PlaneBook app for each Gulfstream model. Another viewer commented about its size. When we first released the QRH, it was about half as thick as it is now. Thanks to both Marketing and Legal, however, it grew exponentially, so much that it should be called “Thick” instead of “Quick”. Just a few thoughts as the original writer of all of the QRHs.

Hey Shaun...Distinguished commenter Mr. McGee made comment below. Very nice audience you have. As for us, we keep a paper copy as backup to Planebook in the GIV cockpit just in case of electron malfunction in the Ipad. Love the hyperlinks in Planebook.

That’s what sets you apart from the rest......you memorized the pages of your checklist. As much as I loved my flying days I can’t say that. Stay safe my friend. 😇

Many thanks Shawn. Great to have you back Also great to have your Tech Tuesday video today. At least I will not forget today is Tuesday as I have forgotten what day it is a few times during quarantine.

Hi Shaun, 1st time chatting with ya. I worked for Gulfstream 2014-2015 as a tech writer on the G500 G 600 programs. Now I work as a sub contractor for Special Missions aircraft which is a G550 platform. So I write all the "Baby Books" as we call it and IPC and R&I procedures...also some fault isolation and D&O's

I watched a WWII film of the checklist being done to get the B-17 ready for take-off by the pilots and crew !! WAS absolutely amazing !

Shaun, so happy you’re back. Flight training has been getting a little dry (initial CFI) and your videos are reminding me of the end goal. I’ve been watching your stuff since I first started back in 2018 and you’ve inspired me to go corporate. Thanks for all the awesome content you continue to put out!

Great content as always!

Great information. Thanks for sharing.

Hell's Bells, Shaun - how big is your brain ??? Whatever they are paying you is not enough !! I cannot imagine how the h**l you even get the aircraft off the ground with all the stuff you need to remember, and check.....big respect.....I can't even figure out how to use my new washing machine !! Stay safe, and keep those kids and Mrs S safe as well.

Great video, Shaun!

Hey Shawn , enjoyed the video. I learned more. Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Lots of good info.

Thanks shawn , lots of good info. Glad you are active on the channel again. And belated, congratulations on your promotion. And you thought you were busy before !

Shaun, awesome tech Tuesday really enjoy your channel. Hope things get back to normal soon for us all.

I wish every pilot out there from commercial, corporate and even VFR guys tooling around (me) had your attention to detail.

Thank you Shaun! Another excellent Tech Tuesday!! I just can’t wait to get back to normal again.

Great video thanks for the info

Great tech Tuesday Shaun. Nice having you back.

Great to see your videos...I fly a G550 in Italy and it’s very interesting sometimes looking at how you guys manage your ops on a daily basis. Best whishes to you and your colleague!!

Thanks for the Tech Video hope you are enjoying your new job.

Solid info, Shaun...thanks. Beard is looking good.

Thank you Shaun, very interesting as always. checklists and QRG's are great tools along with CRM to keep the flight safe during emergency's.

I work as a loader for an Ariel Agriculture spraying operation in south ga. Love your channel ! Keep up the great work!

Wow, talk about light reading. Bring on the coffee. Great tech Tuesday Shaun. 👍👍👍

Cool brother!👍

I loved how when you read which switch, what button to press you instinctively tapped your fingers and gestured as if to operate the controls. Talk about second nature. You make it all look so easy, Captain and l know it’s not. Safe flight always!

Wow that is a lot of information. Very well done tech vid. Thanks Shaun. Stay healthy. Here in Maryland now you can't even get into any establishment without a face mask or covering of some type over your mouth. Getting really serious now.

Very nice my friend

That checklist requires a variable CG weight and balance moment all of its own. Everything changes when it goes from your lap to the back of the seat!!

Super interesting, I've seen the QRH for the 737NG and funnily enough I think it's smaller than that if the GIV. Awesome content as always!

Great video, sorry you are grounded due to the virus, Stay healthy man

Really cool a lot of good info for us non pilots.I have always woundered why in an emergency it takes a long time to run through checks, now I know. Thanks.

Great vlog as always! The RU-vidr Jesse flies has an episode when they have a waring of some sort out of Aspen. It is great to watch. He pastes in the QRH. It was at the planes limit. De ice, heavy and try to climb. Enjoy!

Love all your vides especially the Tech Tuesday can you do a presentation on the Electrical and Hydraulic systems? THANK YOU!

That was awesome Shaun thanks heaps. I never would have thought of a thrust reverser deploying in flight. That thinking that would be ugly AF.

Hey Shaun! Thanks for the Tech Tuesday video. Very interesting to watch. Question, that small ref. checklist book, is that what is loaded in the aircraft that you guys scroll down or is that a separate type checklist? Thank You again for taking the time to do these videos! Stay Healthy and Stay Safe!!!

QRH. Might be a misnomer considering the size of it. Great video. Thanks

Cool Shaun, very informative. So, I guess that the QRH is in every plane

AH come on. Go grab a set of keys and lets go flying. LOL

If that’s the book I think it is, a very close friend of mine re-wrote / organized it. I remember sitting at his kitchen table and he brought out a draft copy of it. He at the time if I recall his status, G4 chief pilot for Phillip Morris. I’d rather not not mention his name but his initials were D.W.. I think John from Presidential 69 knew him. Small world if it’s fact.

Shaun, I noticed as you flipped through the manual...section 12, paragraph 7 and bullet point 3...they misspelled “nut cracker.”

In order to ensure proper Social Distancing, I remained 6 feet away from my iPad when viewing this video.

Great vids as usual, Sean. Suggestion for future vids--how about TALK-OVER COMMENTARY vids where u talk over a flight vid with explanation of whats going on, funny stories, rating fbos, etc. It's done for dvds where directors talk over the movie. You could do this for vids you've already posted eg the popular entire GIV flight from engine start up with John. And u dont necessarily hafta comment on or even include full vid..just cut out what u dont need.

Interesting

Me: Hey Shaun, how many books do you take on your holidays? Shaun: Just one. Me: Just one!!!! Which one? Shaun: The Quick Reference Handbook for the Gulfstream G-IV. Me: Alright! Very nice reading! And very nice video too.

Nice video Shaun! Can you tell me or maybe do a video about the memory items in a checklist? What kind of items do you have to memorize? Normal procedures? Emergency procedures? Hope to see you back in the sky soon my friend! I'm missing that G - IV :(

Very interesting stuff Shaun, a good look at what to do in case on an emergency. Thanks for giving me a look at it. So what is the scariest thing that you remember most of when you reached for the book or was a little scared. And don't say that time your sun visor shot up on you when you and Jon was on a flight!!!.....lol

i love tech tues you rock when you climb and burn do you ever have to dump fuel to get weights right

We're the exact opposite you guys never do single engine taxi I always do a single engine taxi... may or may not have to do with the fact I fly a C182RG

great video man. does that checklist come up on the screen as well? dennis

Question, all the documentation is on a computer or only on paper? Thanks, great video and information.

when you qualified for the GIV did you have use the book

Hey Shaun, are any of the checklists built into the aircraft or FMS or do you do all via paper? Also, does Alerion use dispatchers or do the pilots do their own dispatch?

Enjoyed the video. Question: You spoke about a flight control failure, shutting down hydraulics and it being difficult to control. Is this a scenario that is practiced in the simulator and are the controls just as difficult?

Shaun, using a secondary chart for V-speeds, do you have to reference the manufacturer specs too or is APG sufficient? Seems odd to me that there is not a rule to cross reference manufacturers specs even though APG is correct but everything usually comes back to manufacturer. I work in the crane world and we use different specs but everything has to be double checked and charts have to be from manufacturers to eliminate mistakes. If an accident happens log book and charts are the first thing the government grabs for.

A lotta shtuff to reference, that Manuel should come with wheels. Hope you're not getting cabin fervor. Thanks fer sharing Captain Shaun !!!. Hope Chocolate Milk is well :-)

Shaun, Would you please describe the process for handling an explosive decompression. I know where the crews oxygen masks are and you have described them nicely. However, are the pax briefed prior to flight as their procedures, i.e., location of pax masks, how to don, what to expect, etc. Obviously, Payne Stewart is in my mind. Thanks

Another convincing vindication of my decision to not fly.

Shaun, So how many of those emergency procedures do you practice on a regular basis? Do you eventually have to know all of them? I would guess that the most extreme ones where response time is critical are probably the most practiced and decrease as repair time becomes less critical. I know you commercial pilots are smart and quick minded, but I can't imagine knowing it all. Anyway, I am VERY impressed. Cheers, Rik Spector

I’m just curious about how all that information got there. Is it safe to assume that every scenario described has been deliberately initiated and procedures developed? Big job.

Thinking of the QRH, did Gulfstream face the same challenge as Airbus following Sully’s famous flight? (Dual engine out priority for APulU?)

How often are these checklists updated?

Is there any quarantine requirement when you’re going to fly?

Shaun, I listened to the whole video, and at no point did I hear the book cover the most important topic. How do you decide which crew member makes sure the beer is safe?

Shaun, you may have addressed this before: on Pres 69 you used electronic checklists, but on Alerion G4s you seem to use paper checklists. Why the difference? Does if feel like a step backward?

Can't those manuals be loaded into a iPad, that why it can be updated from the factory. Also once the check list is completed for that leg of the flight it could be transmitted to either a server or the FAA for compliance?

Shaun, I worked at Gulfstream for 9 years and now work as a customer to Gulfstream. I’m curious, what is the worst situation you have had to use the QRH?

hows the braking without hydraulics?

can you hand crnk the gear down if you have too

Does the plane have a satellite phone for passenger that installed on the passenger seat and they can swipe their credit card to use. Thank you!

Hi, just a question: Is it allowed to fly a GIV with only one pilot and passangers?

Shaun reads a different kind of Bible!!!!!

👋🏻SRQ☀️🌴🇺🇸🛩🦠

In this, you are not different from 99,9% of RU-vidrs, but I am really wondering, when did "you" become "you guys"... 🤔

That’s what sets you apart from the rest......you memorized the pages of your checklist. As much as I loved my flying days I can’t say that. Stay safe my friend. 😇
