2. INTRODUCTION
Aircraft Evaluation Groups (AEG) are responsible for working with aircraft manufacturers
and modifiers during the development and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
certification of new and modified aircraft to determine:

1) The pilot type rating;

2) Flight crewmember training, checking, and currency requirements; and
3) Operational suitability.

This report lists those determinations for use by:

1) FAA employees who approve training programs;

2) FAA employees and designees who certify airmen; and
3) Aircraft operators and training providers to assist them in developing their flight
crewmember training, checking, and currency for certificated operators.

3. HIGHLIGHTS OF CHANGE
The purpose of this revision is to identify the training, checking, and recurrent requirements
required for pilot certification for the Global 5500 and Global 6500 in accordance with the
current edition of FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 120-53, Guidance for Conducting and Use of
Flight Standardization Board Evaluations, and a Flight Standardization Board (FSB)
conducted on November 4, 2019. The Global 6500 is an ultra-long-range, high-speed,
business/corporate airplane. The Global 5500 is a derivative of the Global 6500 designed to
operate at Mach 0.90. “Bombardier Enhanced Vision System” has been updated to
“Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS).” Administrative editing has been made throughout
the document for clarification, FAA writing guidelines, and revised Flight Standardization
Board Report (FSBR) requirements. Due to significant changes and a new report format,
revision bars are not used in this revision.

4. BACKGROUND
In May 1999, the Transport Aircraft Long Beach AEG formed an FSB that evaluated the
BD-700-1A10 as defined in FAA Type Certificate Data Sheet (TCDS) No. T00003NY using
the methods described in AC 120-53. Global Express is a marketing designation for the
Model BD-700-1A10 aircraft. The Global Express was found to be operationally suitable.

In August and September 2004, the FSB evaluated the BD-700-1A11 aircraft as defined in
TCDS No. T00003NY. The evaluation was conducted using the methods described in
AC 120-53. Global 5000 is a marketing designation for the Model BD- 700-1A11 aircraft.
The Global 5000 was found to be operationally suitable.

In the fall of 2004, the FSB evaluated the Thales Head-Up Display (HUD) System for the
Global Express and Global 5000 aircraft. It, as well as the associated Airplane Flight Manual
(AFM) change, was found to be operationally suitable for all phases of flight, including
U.S. Category (CAT) I and II operations when authorized. Training, checking, and currency
requirements are listed in Appendix 4, Thales HUD System.

From December 2004 through May 2005, the FSB evaluated the EFVS for the Global
Express and Global 5000 aircraft. It, as well as the associated AFM change, was found to be
operationally suitable. Training, checking, and currency requirements are listed in
Appendix 5, Enhanced Flight Vision System.

In January 2005, Bombardier introduced changes to the BD-700-1A10 Global Express

aircraft. These changes included improved performance, increased range with the addition of
a forward fuel tank, fast refueling technology, and new cabin features, such as increased
cabin pressurization. Other optional features became standard equipment, including the
EFVS. This improved version of the BD-700-1A10 became the new production model and is
marketed as the Global Express XRS. The Global Express and Global Express XRS may be
referenced together in this report as “Global Express/XRS.”

In January and February 2012, the FSB evaluated the BD-700-1A10 aircraft equipped with
Global Vision Flight Deck (GVFD), which is marketed as the Global 6000, and also the
BD-700-1A11 aircraft equipped with GVFD, which is marketed as the Global 5000 GVFD.
The evaluation was conducted using the methods described in AC 120-53. The GVFD
software version evaluated was Software Version 4.3.1. The Global 6000 and Global 5000
GVFD were both found to be operationally suitable. Training, checking, and currency
requirements are listed in Appendix 6, Global Express/XRS to Global 6000 and Global 5000
to Global 5000 GVFD.

In December 2012, the FSB evaluated the Global Express and Global 5000 Honeywell
Batch 3 Software Upgrade. It, as well as the associated AFM change, was found to be
operationally suitable. Training, checking, and currency requirements are listed in
Appendix 7, Honeywell Batch 2+ to Batch 3 Software Upgrade.

Page 4 of 68
 In June 2013, the FSB evaluated the GVFD Software Version 4.3.1 (Version 3) to 4.5.8
(Version 4.5) Software Upgrade. It, as well as the associated AFM change, was found to be
operationally suitable. Training and checking requirements are listed in Appendix 8, GVFD
Software Upgrade Version 4.3.1 (Version 3) to 4.5.8 (Version 4.5).

June 20, 2013, A FSB was convened to evaluate operational suitability and to determine
training, checking, and currency requirements for conducting steep approaches in the
Global 5000 and Global 6000 aircraft. FSB member training and flying took place at the
Bombardier Aerospace facility in Wichita, KS.

In April 2016, the FSB evaluated the GVFD Software Version 4.5.8 (Version 4.5) to 5.1.3
(Version 5) Software Upgrade. It, as well as the associated AFM change, was found to be
operationally suitable. Training and checking requirements are listed in Appendix 10, GVFD
Software Upgrade Version 4.5.8 (Version 4.5) to 5.1.3 (Version 5.0).

In November, 2019 an FSB was established to evaluate the training, checking, and currency
requirements between the Global 5000 GVFD/Global 6000 (base aircraft) and
Global 5500/Global 6500 (related aircraft). The FSB was conducted from November 5
through 11, 2019 at the CAE Civil Aviation Training Solutions (CATS) center in
Montreal QC, Canada. The FSB evaluated handling qualities between the base and related
aircraft. The FSB used a Global 6000 (C-GDRU) and the Global 6500 (C-GDRX). Training
and checking requirements are listed in Appendix 12, Global 5000 GVFD/Global 6000 to
Global 5500/Global 6500 Differences Training. Training and checking was found to be
suitable.

https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/.

8. RELATED AIRCRAFT
8.1 Related Aircraft on Same TCDS. The Global Express/XRS, Global 6000/Global 6500,
Global 5000, and Global 5000 GVFD/Global 5500 are all related.

8.2 Related Aircraft on Different TCDS. Not applicable.

9. PILOT TRAINING
9.1 Airman Experience. Airmen receiving Global Express/XRS, Global 6000/Global 6500,
Global 5000 and/or Global 5000 GVFD/Global 5500 initial type training should have
previous experience in part 91 or 135 air carrier operations and multiengine turbojet or
turboprop aircraft. Pilots without this experience may require additional training.

9.2 Special Emphasis Areas.

9.2.1 Pilots must receive special emphasis on the following areas during initial,
transition, differences, upgrade, and recurrent ground training:

a) Flight management system (FMS).

b) Fuel characteristics and fuel temperature management at high altitudes and
cold temperatures.
c) Wing leading edge contamination and its effect on clean (slats IN/flaps up)
stall speed.
d) Direct current (DC) power system failure modes with emphasis on loss of all
DC electrical power, including the relationship and significance of thermal
circuit breakers in the cockpit circuit breaker panel.
e) Thales HUD (see Appendix 4).
f) EFVS (see Appendix 5).
g) Fuel recirculation inhibits.
h) FMS landing field length.
i) Contaminated runway distances in the AFM performance charts have been
estimated by assuming that the runway is completely contaminated.

Page 10 of 68
 9.2.2 Pilots should receive special emphasis on the following areas during initial,
transition, differences, upgrade, and/or recurrent Systems Integration Training:

a) Automatic flight control system (AFCS).

b) Primary flight display (PFD) and Flight Director Annunciator (FDA).
c) FMS.
d) Electrical Management System (EMS).
e) Thales HUD (see Appendix 4).
f) EFVS (see Appendix 5).
g) Guidance panel indications/selections for autopilot (A/P), yaw damper, and
coupling.

9.2.3 Pilots must receive special emphasis on the following items during initial,
transition, differences, upgrade, and/or recurrent flight training:

a) Aileron/elevator disconnect (jammed controls in each axis).

b) PFD, multifunction display (MFD), and engine indicating and crew alerting
system (EICAS) reversionary modes.
c) Integrated use of EICAS messages, switch positions, and synoptic pages to
determine aircraft system status.
d) Delayed engine response to full power applications at high altitude (especially
high altitude stalls).
e) Low energy rejected landing from idle thrust.
f) High altitude (above 45,000 ft) handling characteristics with the A/P and yaw
damper inoperative.
g) AFCS Pitch mode characteristics (flight path vs. pitch angle).
h) Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS).
i) Thales HUD (see Appendix 4).
j) EFVS (see Appendix 5).
k) Loss of all DC Power.
l) Stall warning advance.
m) Loss of Autothrottle during one-engine-inoperative (OEI) flight.

9.2.4 The FSB also found that early exposure to the AFCS, autothrottles, and FMS is
important, especially for pilots with no previous electronic flight instrument
system (EFIS), autothrottle, or FMS experience. Establishing early confidence in
manually flying the aircraft, converting from manual to automatic
(FMS-controlled) flight mode and back, is equally important due to heavy
reliance on the AFCS. In the event of a flight path deviation due to input error or
system malfunction, the flightcrew must be able to comfortably transition from
automatic to manual operation and back in an orderly fashion consistent with
certificate holder’s automation philosophy.

9.3 Specific Flight Characteristics. Maneuvers or procedures required to be checked as

referenced in the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) and Type Rating for Airplane Airman
Certification Standards (ACS). There are no specific flight characteristics.

Page 11 of 68
 9.4 Seat-Dependent Tasks. Pilots must receive training in these seat-dependent tasks:

a) Tiller usage (left seat): initial, recurrent, upgrade, and transition training.
b) Thales HUD (left/right seat as applicable)1: initial, recurrent, upgrade, and transition
training.
c) EFVS (left/right seat as applicable)2: initial, recurrent, upgrade, and transition
training.

9.5 Regulatory Training Requirements Which Are Not Applicable to the BD-700-1A10
and BD-700-1A11. None.

9.6 FSTDs.

a) Aircraft systems integration training should be completed in a Level 5 FSTD or

higher.
b) Thales HUD (single or dual installation) training must be completed in a Thales
HUD system-equipped aircraft or a Thales HUD system-equipped Level C FFS,
with a daylight visual display or a Level D FFS (see Appendix 4).

9.7 Training Equipment. There are no specific systems or procedures that are unique to the
Global Express/XRS, Global 6000/Global 6500, Global 5000, Global 5000
GVFD/Global 5500 that require specific training equipment.

9.8 Differences Training Between Related Aircraft. Pilots must receive differences
training between the Global Express/XRS, Global 6000/Global 6500, Global 5000, and
Global 5000 GVFD/Global 5500 if applicable. The level of training is specified in
Appendix 3, Differences Tables.

10. PILOT CHECKING

 APPENDIX 4. THALES HUD SYSTEM

1. BACKGROUND
The FSB participated in an evaluation of the Thales HUD System during its development in
the fall of 2004 using a Global Express aircraft and a FFS. The FSB conducted certification
flight tests, along with the New York Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), in a Global
Express aircraft in Wichita, KS. Flight testing consisted of approximately 40 HUD
approaches at several different airports, using CAT I procedures, during day, night,
visual meteorological conditions (VMC), and instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).

The Thales HUD is standard equipment on the Global Express XRS aircraft, but can also be
installed on Global Express and Global 5000 aircraft. The Thales HUD System installations
on Global Express/XRS and Global 5000 airplanes have been found to be functionally
equivalent. If Thales HUD training and checking requirements are accomplished in one
aircraft, training and checking does not need to be repeated in the other.

The FSB also evaluated the proposed Airplane Flight Manual Supplement (AFMS) for HUD
operations.

4. PILOT TRAINING
For single HUD installation, the HUD training focuses principally upon training events flown
in the left seat by the pilot flying (PF). Training for the pilot monitoring (PM) is also required
for any procedural differences when the PF is heads-up (compared to heads-down).

For dual HUD installation, training events can be flown in the left or right seat as PF.
Training for the PM is also required for any procedural differences when the PF is heads-up
(compared to heads-down).

4.1 HUD Initial Ground Training. Pilots training to serve as PF during HUD operations
should receive a minimum of 2 hours of ground school training in the operation and use
of the HUD.

Page 44 of 68
 4.1.1 The initial ground training program should include the following elements:

a) Classroom instruction covering HUD operational concepts, crew duties and

responsibilities, and operational procedures including preflight, normal and
abnormal operations; EICAS messages; use of QRH and checklists;
miscompare, and failure flags.

b) Classroom instruction or computer-based training (CBT) on the HUD

symbology set and its interrelationship with airplane aerodynamics, inertial
factors, environmental conditions, and comparison to PFD.

c) A HUD pilot training manual or equivalent material in the Flightcrew

Operating Manual (FCOM), which explains the limitations, all modes of
operation, clear descriptions of HUD symbology, including limit conditions
and failures, and incorporation of a crew procedures guide clearly delineating
PF and PM duties, responsibilities, and procedural callouts and responses
during all phases of flight during which HUD operations are anticipated.

4.1.2 The FSB recommends special emphasis ground training in the following areas:

a) Crew coordination,
b) Crew briefings and callouts,
c) Duties of PF and PM, and
d) EICAS messages and use of QRH and checklists applicable to HUD.

4.2 HUD Initial Flight Training.

4.2.1 Pilots training to serve as PF during HUD operations should receive a minimum
of 2 hours of flight training in the operation and use of the HUD. A pilot who
progresses through initial or transition flight training in a Global Express/Global
5000 aircraft and satisfactorily completes HUD system curriculum segments
(recommended by an instructor) and a HUD proficiency check by a person
authorized by the Administrator, does not need to complete the recommended 2
hours of flight training.

4.2.2 For single HUD installation, flight training must be conducted from the left seat.
For dual HUD installations, flight training may be conducted from either seat.
Flight training may be conducted in a Thales HUD system-equipped aircraft or a
Thales HUD system equipped-Level C FFS with a daylight visual display or a
Level D FFS. FFS approaches, utilizing the HUD, should begin no closer than the
final approach fix (FAF) for instrument approaches, and should begin no closer
than approximately 1,000 ft above ground level (AGL) (3–4 nautical miles (NM))
to the runway threshold for visual approaches.

4.2.3 Unless integrated with initial type rating training, flight training dedicated to
HUD familiarization and proficiency is in addition to other required training
elements.

Page 45 of 68
4.2.4 The following HUD flight training program is generic in nature and should be
considered as a guide only:

4.2.4.1 Ground Operations:

a) Deployment of HUD and stowage.

b) Taxi using HUD under various lighting and visibility conditions.

4.2.4.2 Airwork:

a) Straight and level flight, accelerations, and decelerations.

b) Normal and steep turns, climbs, and descents.
c) Wind effects on HUD.
d) Stall prevention and recovery.
e) Recovery from unusual attitudes.

4.2.4.3 Visual Takeoffs, Approaches, and Landings:

a) Crosswind takeoff and landing.

b) Visual approaches to runways at night with minimal lighting
(“black hole” approaches) and use of Flight Path Vector (FPV) to
achieve desired descent angle.
c) Engine failure on takeoff.
d) OEI landing.
e) OEI go-around.

4.2.4.4 Instrument Approaches:

a) Approaches to the lowest authorized minima, including an approach

and landing with OEI.
b) Missed approach OEI.
c) Non-precision and circling approaches (if applicable).
4.2.4.5 Abnormal/Emergency Operations (as appropriate):
a) Windshear escape.
b) Enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) escape.
c) TCAS Resolution Advisory (RA).
d) HUD failure on approach.
e) Approaches with the aircraft in a non-normal slat/flap configuration.
4.2.5 The FSB recommends special emphasis flight training in the following areas:
a) Approaches to “black hole” airports.
b) Use of the flare symbol as a cue (not as guidance).
c) Recovery from unusual attitudes.
d) TCAS RA.
e) Crosschecking from HUD to cockpit displays, including EICAS and other
cockpit indications.

Page 46 of 68
 4.3 HUD Recurrent Ground Training. Selected HUD-related ground training subjects as
outlined in initial ground training above should be reviewed on a recurrent basis.

5. PILOT CHECKING
Pilots training to serve as PF during HUD operations must be administered a proficiency
check conducted in a Level C FFS with a daylight visual display, Level D FFS, or on a
Thales HUD System-equipped aircraft. This proficiency check may be taken in conjunction
with a pilot proficiency check conducted in accordance with part 61 or 135 or may be
administered as a separate test.
Maneuvers to be evaluated during the HUD proficiency check include, as a minimum:

• One takeoff.
• One departure procedure.
• One instrument approach procedure (IAP).
• One landing.
Pilots should also be checked on PM duties during HUD approaches and emergencies.
5.1 HUD Recurrent Checking.
At least annually, in conjunction with a pilot in command (PIC) proficiency check
required by part 61 or 135, a PIC must demonstrate proficiency using the Thales HUD
system by satisfactorily performing the maneuvers listed above.
During recurrent part 135 competency checks, second in commands (SIC) serving as PF
during HUD operations should demonstrate proficiency using the HUD by satisfactorily
performing the maneuvers listed above.
During recurrent part 135 competency checks, SICs serving as PM during HUD
operations should be evaluated on Crew Resource Management (CRM) responsibilities
and procedures when the PF is conducting HUD operations.

6. PILOT CURRENCY
Pilots should have completed at least three takeoffs, approaches, and landings using the HUD
in the Global Express/XRS/Global 5000 or have completed three takeoffs, approaches, and
landings as the PF using the Thales HUD system in a Level C FFS with day and night visual
displays or Level D FFS within the previous 90 days before acting as the PF using the HUD
in revenue operations.

7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY
The Thales HUD, as well as the associated AFM change, was found to be operationally
suitable for all phases of flight, including CAT I and II operations when authorized.

Page 47 of 68
 APPENDIX 5. ENHANCED FLIGHT VISION SYSTEM (EFVS)
EFVS installed on this aircraft has been deemed operationally suitable for EFVS operations to
100 ft above touchdown zone elevation (TDZE) only when a HUD is installed and utilized.

Compliance in accordance with § 91.176(b) has been validated on the follow aircraft only when
a HUD is installed and utilized:

• Global Express
• Global Express XRS
• Global 5000
• Global 5000 GVFD.
• Global 6000.

If the aircraft is not equipped with a HUD, any use of the EFVS is for situational awareness only.

 APPENDIX 6. GLOBAL EXPRESS/XRS TO GLOBAL 6000 AND
GLOBAL 5000 TO GLOBAL 5000 GVFD
1. BACKGROUND
The Global Express FSB participated in an evaluation of the training, checking, and currency
differences that have occurred by the introduction of the GVFD. Additionally, the FSB was
tasked to determine the appropriate type rating for the Global 6000.
For clarification, the FSB evaluation involved the following:
a) The differences between the Global Express/XRS aircraft and the Global 6000.
b) The differences between the Global 5000 aircraft and the Global 5000 GVFD.
c) The initial pilot type rating of the Global 6000 and the Global 5000 GVFD.

2. PILOT TYPE RATING

The FSB determined that the same aircraft type rating designation “BBD-700” is appropriate
between the existing Global Express/XRS/Global 5000 and the Global 6000/Global 5000
GVFD variations. Differences training should be accomplished in a Level 5 FTD or higher
FSTD.

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT
• Global Express
• Global Express XRS
• Global 5000
• Global 5000 GVFD.
• Global 6000.

4. PILOT TRAINING
Differences training should be accomplished in a Level 5 FTD or higher FSTD. Due to the
flightcrew differences, the FSB recommends special emphasis training in the following areas:
a) Flight deck display layout (Airport Facility Directory (AFD)/display unit (DU)) and
functionality.
b) Control panels: Control Tuning Panel (CTP), Audio Control Panel (ACP),
Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS), multifunction keypad (MKP), and
Cursor Control Panel (CCP).
c) Emergency Descent Mode (EDM) and functionality.
d) Underspeed protection.
e) Nav to Nav transfer, Global Positioning System (GPS)/wide area augmentation system
(WAAS)/localizer performance with vertical guidance (LPV)/Required Navigation
Performance (RNP)/Performance-Based Navigation (PBN), and IAPs.
f) DC power failure modes with emphasis on loss of all DC electrical power.
g) AFCS modes, A/P all-engines-operating (AEO) in all phases of flight, including OEI in
all phases of flight to include OEI go-around, PFD, FDA, and Flight Mode Annunciator
(FMA) indications.

Page 49 of 68
 h) A/P response during windshear escape guidance.
i) Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) and EGPWS.
j) Use of Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS) is for
situational awareness only. EVS as described in this paragraph provides infrared (IR)
imagery only on a MFD and is not suitable for operations prescribed in § 91.176.
k) Caution and warning messages on the EICAS and horizontal situation indicator (HSI) and
associated human factors issues.
l) Use of FMS including takeoff preparation and EMS.
m) CRM with regards to the new functionalities.
After completion of the differences training referred to in this paragraph, it is recommended
that supervised line flying be completed as soon as possible with a line check pilot to
consolidate training. It is further recommended that a minimum of two flights be flown, one
as the PF and one as the PM.
When operating more than one variation, recurrent training should be alternated between the
Global Express/XRS/Global 5000 and Global 6000/Global 5000 GVFD, addressing the
differences of all applicable variations on each occasion.

5. PILOT CHECKING
Differences should be checked at Level C in a Level 5 FTD or higher FSTD. Due to the
flightcrew differences, the FSB recommends special emphasis checking in the following
areas:
a) Flight deck display layout (AFD/DU) and functionality.
b) Control panels: CTP, ACP, Reversionary Selection Panel (RSP), CNS, MKP, and CCP.
c) EDM and functionality.
d) Underspeed protection.
e) Nav to Nav transfer, GPS/WAAS/LPV/RNP/PBN, and IAPs.
f) DC power failure modes with emphasis on loss of all DC electrical power.
g) AFCS modes, A/P AEO in all phases of flight, including OEI in all phases of flight, to
include OEI go-around, PFD, FDA, and FMA indications.
h) A/P response during windshear escape guidance.
i) TAWS and EGPWS.
j) Use of EVS and SVS is for situational awareness only. EVS as described in this
paragraph provides IR imagery only on a MFD and is not suitable for operations
prescribed by § 91.176(b).
k) Caution and warning messages on the EICAS and HSI and associated human factors
issues.
l) Use of FMS, including takeoff preparation and EMS.
m) CRM with regards to the new functionalities.

When operating more than one variation, recurrent checking should be alternated between
the Global Express/XRS/Global 5000 and Global 6000/Global 5000 GVFD, addressing the
differences of all applicable variations on each occasion.

Page 50 of 68
6. PILOT CURRENCY
When operating both the Global Express/XRS/Global 5000 and Global 6000/Global 5000
GVFD, the FSB recommends that flightcrews perform at least one flight as PF or PM in the
“Global Express/XRS or Global 5000” variation and at least one flight in the “Global 6000 or
Global 5000 GVFD” within the currency period (90 days).

This currency requirement between variations should address the following differences:

a) Takeoff preparation and takeoff.

b) Enroute use of the FMS.
c) IAPs.

7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY
The Global 6000 and Global 5000 GVFD, including GVFD Software Version 4.3.1 as well
as the associated AFM, was found to be operationally suitable.

 APPENDIX 7. HONEYWELL BATCH 2+ TO BATCH 3 SOFTWARE
UPGRADE

1. BACKGROUND
In 2011, Bombardier introduced the Batch 3 software upgrade to the Global Express/XRS
and Global 5000 Honeywell Avionics aircraft. Batch 3 adds improvements to the Integrated
Avionics Computers (IAC) that affect the FMSs, Flight Guidance Computers (FGC), and
displays. Updated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers with Satellite-Based
Augmentation System (SBAS) that provide LPV approach capability, and Future Air
Navigation System (FANS) 1/A capability (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Contract
(ADS-C) and Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC)) are available options.

2. PILOT TYPE RATING

Not applicable.

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT
The Batch 3 software upgrade on Global Express/XRS and Global 5000 airplanes has been
found to be functionally equivalent. If Batch 3 software training and checking requirements
are accomplished in one aircraft, Batch 3 software training and checking does not need to be
repeated in the other.

4. PILOT TRAINING
Pilots transitioning to Batch 3 software should complete Level B differences training. The
differences training should include the following elements:

a) Flightcrews should be provided with and review the Pilot Training Guide (PTG), OMR,
FCOM, QRH, and FMS pilot guide that detail the differences between Batch 2+ and
Batch 3 for self-study prior to undertaking the Bombardier Aircraft Training Center
(BATC) eLearning.

b) Flightcrews should clearly understand flight guidance panel (FGP) selections and PFD
annunciations while conducting FMS-based approaches using lateral navigation (LNAV),
vertical path (VPTH), vertical glidepath (VGP), and LPV (optional) functions.

c) CAUTION: The proper setting of the altitude pre-selector during approach operations
should be clearly understood. The safety mitigations for conducting a go-around with the
altitude pre-selector set to landing elevation should be emphasized. This training area is
of particular importance for operators flying mixed Batch 2+ and Batch 3 aircraft
configurations.

d) Bombardier and/or operator-developed standard operating procedures (SOP) related to

CRM and human factors in the use of FANS CPDLC (optional), including division of
duties, cross-confirmation, and aircraft flight path changes, etc.

Page 52 of 68
5. PILOT CHECKING
Not applicable.

6. PILOT CURRENCY
There are no currency requirements for the Batch 2+ to Batch 3 software differences. In the
event that flightcrews will be required to operate a mixed fleet of aircraft with Batch 2+ and
Batch 3 software, currency should be maintained through self-review of the differences.

7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY
The Honeywell Batch 3 software upgrade, as well as the associated AFM change, was found
to be operationally suitable.

 APPENDIX 8. GVFD SOFTWARE UPGRADE VERSION 4.3.1
(VERSION 3) TO 4.5.8 (VERSION 4.5)

1. BACKGROUND
In 2012, Bombardier introduced the Rockwell Collins Fusion-based GVFD avionics suite
into the Global Express/XRS and Global 5000 aircraft. BD-700-1A10 aircraft with GVFD is
marketed as a Global 6000 while a BD-700-1A11 aircraft with GVFD is marketed as a
Global 5000 GVFD.

GVFD Software Version 4.5.8 (marketed as Version 4.5) is the first major software upgrade
to the GVFD avionics suite, which include an electronic checklist (ECL) function, vertical
situation display (VSD), FMS TOLD performance, FMS speed control, a third FMS, and
Required Navigation Performance Authorization Required (RNP AR) approach capability.

2. PILOT TYPE RATING

Not applicable.

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT
The GVFD Version 4.5.8 software upgrade on Global 6000 and Global 5000 GVFD
airplanes has been found to be functionally equivalent. If Version 4.5.8 software training and
checking requirements are accomplished in one aircraft, Version 4.5.8 software training and
checking does not need to be repeated in the other.

4. PILOT TRAINING
4.1 Prerequisites. Flightcrew members upgrading to software Version 4.5.8 (Version 4.5)
must have previously been trained and found qualified on the software upgrade
Version 4.3.1 (Version 3).

Pilots transitioning to Version 4.5.8 software should complete Level C differences

training. It is expected that, at some time in the future, all GVFD aircraft will be updated
to software Version 4.5.8 (or a later version), at which point this differences training will
have been integrated into the full initial course, and integrated into the differences
courses to transition from Global aircraft equipped with Honeywell avionics to aircraft
equipped with Rockwell Collins avionics, making this differences course redundant. The
differences training should include the following elements:

a) SOP and crew coordination using the ECL.

b) Use of the ECL backup (e.g., paper, Integrated Flight Information System (IFIS),
Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), as applicable).
c) FMS TOLD and manual FMS TOLD entries.

NOTE: Flex takeoff RNP AR approach specific training is covered in Appendix

9, RNP AR 0.3.

The GVFD Version 4.3.1 to Version 4.5.8 software upgrade, as well as the associated AFM
change, was found to be operationally suitable.

Page 55 of 68
 APPENDIX 9. RNP AR 0.3

1. BACKGROUND
As a prerequisite to RNP AR training, checking, and currency requirements as defined in
this appendix, pilots must have met the requirements of Appendix 8 for qualification in
Global 6000 or Global 5000 GVFD aircraft.

This appendix only applies to Global 6000 and Global 5000 GVFD aircraft that have the
avionics upgrades installed as defined in Appendix 8 and has RNP AR avionics capability for
which pilot training, checking, and currency is sought.

NOTE: Completion of RNP AR training and checking does not constitute approval
to conduct RNP AR operations. Operators should refer to the current edition of
AC 90-101, Approval Guidance for Required Navigation Performance (RNP)
Procedures with Authorization Required (AR), for RNP AR application preparation
and processing.

2. PILOT TYPE RATING

Not applicable.

3. RELATED AIRCRAFT
RNP AR capability installed on Global 6000 and Global 5000 GVFD airplanes has been
found to be functionally equivalent. If training, checking, and currency requirements are
accomplished in one aircraft, RNP AR training, checking, and currency need not be repeated
in the other.

4. PILOT TRAINING
In conducting RNP AR approaches, specified duties and procedures are assigned to both the
pilot flying (PF) and pilot monitoring (PM). Therefore, the requirement for initial and
recurrent training as defined below is applicable to both pilot in command (PIC) and second
in command (SIC).

4.1 RNP AR Initial Training.

4.1.1 Initial ground training should fully comply with the requirements of the current
edition of AC 90-101 for the Global 6000 or Global 5000 GVFD.

4.1.2 Initial flight training should fully comply with the requirements of the current
edition of AC 90-101 for the Global 6000 or Global 5000 GVFD.

Page 56 of 68
 4.2 RNP AR Recurrent Training.

4.2.1 Recurrent ground training must include, as a minimum, a review of

“Pilot Procedures” and “Abnormal/Failures” as defined in the current edition of
AC 90-101.

4.2.2 Recurrent flight training should fully comply with the requirements of the current
edition of AC 90-101 for the Global 6000 or Global 5000 GVFD.

4.3 Special Emphasis Training. The FSB has determined that the following items should
receive special emphasis in an approved RNP AR training program:

c) Required equipment for RNP AR approaches (minimum equipment list (MEL)

review and in-flight equipment failure).
d) Missed approach procedures on RF legs.
e) Manually flown approaches and missed approaches.
f) Temperature compensation.

5. PILOT CHECKING
In conducting RNP AR approaches, specified duties and procedures are assigned to the
PF and PM. Therefore, the requirement for initial and recurrent checking is applicable to both
PIC and SIC.

5.1 Initial and Recurrent Checking Requirement. RNP AR checking in a qualified

FSTD, Global 6000 or Global 5000 GVFD aircraft must include:

a) Two RNP AR approaches flown as PF.

b) One RNP AR approach flown to an RNP published missed approach.
c) One RNP AR approach flown to a landing.
d) One of the RNP AR approaches must have RF legs.

5.2 Instrument Competency/Proficiency Check Requirements Under § 135.293,

135.297, or PIC Proficiency Check Under Part 61, § 61.58. For PICs qualified and
authorized for RNP AR approaches, at least one RNP AR approach with RF legs must
be demonstrated during a § 135.293(b) Competency Check, § 135.297 Instrument
Proficiency Check, or during a PIC Proficiency Check under § 61.58. Additionally,
the PM during the check must be RNP AR current and qualified in accordance with this
appendix.

6. PILOT CURRENCY
To maintain currency in RNP AR operations, a PIC must have accomplished at least one
RNP AR approach to either a missed approach or landing within the preceding 6 months.
Additionally, the PM (SIC) used in meeting this currency requirement must be
RNP AR-current and qualified as described in this appendix.

Page 57 of 68
 The RNP AR approach must have been accomplished in either an appropriately qualified
FSTD, a Global 6000 or Global 5000 GVFD aircraft.

Any checking under parts 61 or 135 that requires a demonstration of RNP AR approach
competency that was accomplished within the preceding 6 months satisfies this currency
requirement.

If RNP AR approach currency is lost, currency may be reestablished by completing the RNP
AR recurrent training and checking elements defined in this appendix.

7. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY
RNP AR capability, as well as the associated AFM change, was found to be operationally
suitable.

 APPENDIX 11. GLOBAL 5000/GLOBAL 6000 STEEP APPROACH
OPERATIONS

1. BACKGROUND
A FSB was convened on June 20, 2013, to evaluate operational suitability and to determine
training, checking, and currency requirements for conducting steep approaches in the
Global 5000 aircraft. FSB member training and flying took place at the Bombardier
Aerospace facility in Wichita, KS. Certification flight testing had been completed prior to the
FSB.

Steep approaches in the Global 5000/Global 6000 are defined as those glidepaths greater than
4.5° and less than or equal to 5.5°. The Global 5000/Global 6000, as currently configured, is
capable of flying steep approaches without modifications to the airframe or changes to the
avionics system or FMS. The EGPWS database is able to recognize those airports that
support steep approach operations and automatically apply an additional 500 feet per minute
(FPM) descent rate to the “SINK RATE” alert and 200 FPM to the “PULL-UP” warning
alert. Steep approaches must be flown with the spoilers - FULL.

Steep approaches were conducted during day conditions using 5.5° approach angles.
Two-engine and single-engine steep approaches were flown, terminating either with a
landing or execution of a missed approach or balked landing procedure. Although steep
approaches in the Global 5000/Global 6000 must be conducted with both engines operative,
the FSB evaluated piloting skills required to perform a single-engine extractions inside the
FAF.

2. OPERATIONAL SUITABILITY ASSESSMENT

The FSB has determined that, when coupled to the A/P and autothrottles, the conduct of
steep approaches require no higher piloting skill level than that of normal (3°) approaches.
Although the sight picture at flare is definitely steeper, a pilot is able to easily adapt to the
slight increase in flare rate, or slight increase in flare altitude, as the aircraft is placed in the
proper landing attitude. The use of the HUD in executing steep approaches is mandatory.
Use of the A/P and autothrottles from the FAF to the minimum use height of 250 ft above
touchdown is mandatory during steep approaches in the Global 5000/Global 6000. Therefore,
competence in conducting steep approaches can be achieved through ground and flight
training.

3. PREREQUISITES FOR STEEP APPROACH TRAINING

Prior to receiving steep approach training in the Global 5000/Global 6000 or unless steep
approach training is integrated within the initial or recurrent Global 5000/Global 6000
training and the steep approach training is conducted immediately preceding the
competency/proficiency check, the pilot must have been previously qualified in the
Global 5000/Global 6000 aircraft.

4. STEEP APPROACH TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Ground Training. Ground training must consist of training in the following areas and is
appropriate to any flightcrew member position:

4.1.1 AFMS review to include limitations, procedures, Weight and Balance (W&B),
performance, approach and landing configuration, landing flare, stall warning,
and EGPWS Mode 1 operations.

4.1.2 Stages of the steep approach to include stabilized approach concept (early
configuration, including proper airspeed, flap settings, speedbrakes, and landing
gear), glideslope capture, flare attitude, and appropriate change in pitch rate.

4.1.3 Comparison of the steep approach sight picture to that of 3° (normal) approach.

4.1.4 Pilot techniques to include early configuration, avoidance of abrupt control inputs,
and ground rush illusions.

4.1.5 Identification of airports with steep approaches to include the differences between
landing distance data for London City Airport and other airports with steep
approaches.

4.2 Flight Training. Flight training is required for the Global 5000/Global 6000 steep
approaches assuming the ground training described above has been completed.

NOTE 1: If steep approach training is desired, it is possible to program the

Global 5000/Global 6000 FMS to fly a steep approach to any runway in the navigation
database for which visual approach is available. Unless the airport has a designated steep
approach in the FMS database, EGPWS alerts (“SINK RATE,” PULL-UP) will be heard
in the final phase of the approach and landing (below approximately 400 ft AGL). Steep
approach flight training conducted in this manner should only be conducted in VMC.
Before each approach, the flight instructor should brief the pilot on the EGPWS alerts
that will be activated during the final phase of the approach and landing. The flight
instructor should emphasize that, for the purpose of flight training only, the pilot should
not react to these alerts.

NOTE 2: Some airports with steep approaches require previous steep approach
experience prior to conducting a steep approach at that airport. Practicing approaches at
5.5 degrees may be accomplished by the method described in NOTE 1.

5. STEEP APPROACH CHECKING REQUIREMENTS

There is no requirement for knowledge checking or flight proficiency testing for the
Global 5000/Global 6000 steep approach qualification. Proof of completion of
Global 5000/Global 6000 steep approach training is sufficient for showing qualification.

Page 63 of 68
6. STEEP APPROACH CURRENCY REQUIREMENTS
If within the past 6 months a pilot has not conducted at least one steep approach, then a
review of all the listed items for ground training above must be completed and properly
documented prior to conducting steep approach operations.

7. STEEP APPROACH RECURRENT REQUIREMENTS

As a minimum, regardless of the number of steep approaches completed, a review of all
ground training items must be accomplished annually and documented in a manner
acceptable to the Administrator.

 APPENDIX 12. GLOBAL 5000 GVFD/GLOBAL 6000 TO
GLOBAL 5500/GLOBAL 6500 DIFFERENCES TRAINING

1. BACKGROUND
In November 2019, a FSB convened in Montreal, Canada to determine the operational
suitability and evaluate training, checking, and currency requirements for the Global 5500 and
6500 aircraft.

The FSB evaluated the handling qualities using a T2 process between the base and variant
aircraft by both analysis and an evaluation flight.

A T3 test was used to evaluate ground ILT in the Global 6500 FFS and aircraft. The FSB used
the Global 6000 (C-GDRU) for the T2 evaluation and the Global 6500 (C-GDRX) aircraft for
the T2/T3 evaluation.
