Bombardier Global 6000 Review

Since it made its first flight on October 13, 1996, the Global series of aircraft produced by Bombardier has been a well-liked option for high-net-worth individuals and businesses all over the world looking to purchase a business jet. There is little room for debate regarding the reasons why: The flagship aircraft produced by Bombardier is capable of flying nonstop halfway around the world due to its range of 6,000 nautical miles. This makes it convenient for passengers.

In this analysis of aircraft, we will focus on the Global 6000 and discuss its key characteristics, including its technical specifications, design options, technological capabilities, investment costs, and more. Despite the fact that Bombardier has switched production of the Global 6000 to the Global 6500, there is still a sizeable population of Global 6000 aircraft on the market. These aircraft, for a variety of reasons, have caught the attention of passengers who are looking for long-range performance as well as comfort.

Layout of the Cockpit

The spacious cockpit of the Global 6000 features seats that are deep and ergonomically designed as well as yokes that are coated in leather. Its popular avionics platform, known as Bombardier’s Vision flight deck, was modelled after the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite and includes a synthetic vision system on the head-up display to support the pilot’s situational awareness. This avionics suite was designed by Rockwell Collins. It should come as no surprise that the Wide Area Augmentation System, LPV Approach, and RNAV, En-route RNP, and RNP AR Approaches are all included on the flight deck of the Vision aircraft. This was done in order to fulfil all of the current standards for performance-based navigation systems.

Cabin Design

It is common practise to use the cabin size and interior of the Global 6000 as a standard against which to measure other aircraft’s ability to provide a comfortable experience for passengers. When boarding, passengers enter through the primary doorway and proceed into the full-size galley. In order to manage long-range destinations even when additional crewmembers are necessary, there is a designated full-size crew rest area that is located directly across from the galley. Before entering the main cabin, passengers will have another opportunity to use the forward lavatory.

The primary cabin is subdivided into three distinct areas, all of which are flexible but were created with specific functions in mind. Depending on the layout that was chosen, each zone may have seats that are upholstered in leather and have forward and aft tracking, as well as swivel 180 degrees and recline to provide berthing capabilities. Each cabin zone has the option of being partitioned off from the others by utilising either a privacy curtain or a solid bulkhead that has a sliding door for added discretion. Soundproofing material has been applied to the floorboards, floor ducts, and bulkhead at the junction with the sidewall in the cabin in order to limit the amount of noise that is caused by the engine and the airflow around it.

The diagram that follows demonstrates the various possible arrangements of seats that are available on the Global 6000. Please refer to the Global 6000 Optional Equipment Catalog if you are interested in learning more about the many floorplan alternatives that are currently available.

The forward cabin features four single executive chairs with footrests in the style of recliners, lumbar adjustment, and full recline when the standard configuration is selected. Additionally, there are two bi-fold tables and a 24-inch bulkhead HD display in this area. A single floor mat heater is fitted under each of the four seats in the forward cabin to provide additional warmth to the floor area. Passengers can regulate the temperature of these heaters using the cabin management system. The heaters are designed to provide additional warmth to the floor area.

When passengers move into the middle section of the cabin, they will see a conference grouping that includes a height-adjustable conference table, full recline and swivel capabilities for the inboard chairs, and two double seats with lumbar controls. The basic mid cabin also includes a credenza and a low cabinet for additional storage, and it is located opposite the group used for conferences.

-slip floor. Because it has a water tank that can hold 17 gallons of water, the Global 6000 can provide users with a “real” showering experience. It has a wardrobe compartment, fold-up hang-up bar, removable hang-up bar, and fold-down shelves. The baggage section is 195 cubic feet in size and is located behind the rear restroom.

Technology

The following components can be found inside the entertainment system of the Global 6000:

• High-speed Internet connectivity via Ka-band while in flight;

• Multiple pop-up HD LCD monitor displays;

• Capability to stream music wirelessly;

• 5.1 surround sound system;

• Universal HDMI and USB ports;

• Media centre with streaming and mirroring capabilities;

• Airshow Tailwind 500 system for Direct Broadcast Satellite TV;

• Wireless control of the cabin environment and entertainment via a personal electronic device;

• Go-Go L5 wi-fi (U.S. domestic only)

Exterior Design

The outside of the Global 6000 has elegant lines and comes standard with two-tone paint schemes that split the colour between the two tones. Many owners, on the other hand, opt to incorporate paint schemes and colours with metallic and non-metallic paint that incorporate their own custom flag or logo into the design of their vehicle.

Acquisition Cost

Given that production of the Global 6000 began in 2012 and continued until it was discontinued in 2020, the cost to purchase a pre-owned Global 6000 varies based on the age of the model, the amount of previous use, and the aircraft’s specific condition.

According to the most recent data available from the sector, the cost of purchasing a pre-owned Global 6000 can range anywhere from the low $20 million to the low $30 million. Again, pricing are reflective of the year the aircraft was manufactured, the equipment that was installed, the condition of the aircraft, and the total amount of accumulated utilization.

Examples of aircraft models that are frequently compared to the Global 6000 are the Gulfstream 550 and the Falcon 7X. Both of these aircraft models offer comparable range capabilities and comparable costs to acquire.

Should You Invest in a Global 6000 Company?

Identifying your primary and secondary vacation locations is an essential step to take before beginning your research into the various possibilities presented by private aircraft. We advise potential purchasers to identify which model of aircraft will satisfactorily satisfy 80–85 percent of their key travel requirements before making a purchase. Next, determine if the same aircraft can still accommodate the remaining 15% to 20% of your secondary travel needs, or if you will need to make alternative plans, such as an additional fuel stop or plans to utilise a different mode of transportation, such as chartering a smaller aircraft or even a helicopter. If you will need to make alternative plans, you will need to consider whether or not you will need to do so.

The Bombardier Global 6000 is a long-range aircraft, therefore it operates most efficiently during missions that last five hours or longer. However, despite its size and long-range capability, the Global 6000 has remarkable short field performance. This means that airports of a smaller size can be used because of the takeoff and landing performance of the Global 6000. Despite its size, the Global 6000 is capable of flying long distances.

Any traveller who is interested in a roomy cabin, has a demand for increased passenger capacity, and is willing to tolerate some degree of inefficiency for shorter journeys will discover that the Global 6000 can suit the majority, if not all, of their travel requirements. Using itemised budgeting, all potential costs and savings that come with taking shorter journeys can be estimated and forecasted.
