De: Ivan Luciani

The successful completion of any trip requires meticulous planning, timely preparation, precise execution, and the crew’s ability to anticipate and cope with sudden changes. Every trip is unique. Some are more challenging than others and you can always count on last minute changes and surprises. Although trips tend to be uneventful, they are never routine. Upon a successfully completed trip we derive a great sense of satisfaction knowing that we completed it safely, effectively, and efficiently (in that order of importance).What follows is a four-sector westbound trip around the world in a Gulfstream G650ER. Although this trip is seen primarily from a pilot’s perspective, there were many highly capable and dedicated professionals whose contributions made it possible. These individuals, who take great pride in what they do and how they do it, are part of a support system that makes airplanes like the Gulfstream G650 a powerful business tool. This book was written, in great part, as a tribute to them.Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride!
