First Flight in the G280 - A new chapter begins!

After months of waiting, training, planning, and anticipation, it was finally time for the first flight in the new (to me) Gulfstream G280, N728CC (soon to be N1JC). This was a completely different experience from the N77T, with new systems, new procedures, more space, more power, and a lot more to learn. We start with the first cockpit setup, engine start, taxi, takeoff, climb, and then come back for the arrival into New Jersey at sunset. It was an incredible first flight, and the beginning of a whole new chapter for the channel. Highlights 🔹 First flight in the new jet 🔹 Full cockpit setup and checklist flow 🔹 First engine start and taxi 🔹 First takeoff and climb out 🔹 Comparing the new airplane to the Phenom 🔹 Sunset arrival into New Jersey 🔹 First landing with auto brakes and thrust reverse ✈️ Pilot Question What part of flying a new aircraft do you think is hardest at first: the systems, the procedures, or just getting comfortable with the sight picture? __________________ My channel is always evolving. I’m working on better audio, sharper angles, and smoother multi-view edits. I want to create content that connects and resonates with viewers, so your feedback helps. Same with my flying. I don’t know everything, and I never will. I’m here to learn and improve. If you catch something I could have done better, whether in the cockpit or otherwise, let me know. I appreciate constructive criticism. ____________________ 🤑 Sponsored by: Flying Eyes Sunglasses - Get your 10% off here http://www.flyingeyesoptics.com/ONEJC... or use discount code: OneJCpilot MyGoFlight - Get your 10% off here https://mygoflight.com/?ref=1JCpilot or use discount code: IJCpilot AirSync - Air-Sync.com, discount code coming soon. ____________________ 🔗 Links Follow me on Instagram at   / 1jcpilot   Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @1jcpilot   Click on my Patreon to get more content sooner, profits go to a non-profit medical air transportation:   / 1jcpilot   Links to my favorite products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/1jcpilot _________________________ 🕐 Timeline 00:00 First cockpit setup 03:20 Engine start and first taxi 07:26 Cleared for takeoff 13:09 Arrival into New Jersey 20:30 First landing and shutdown _________________________ #️⃣ #aviation #aviationlife #aviationdaily #aviationlovers #aviationtraining #airport #avgeek #aviationphotography #aviationdaily #pilot #piloto #pilotlife #flight #flying #flightvlog #cockpit #cockpitview #flightsimulator #flightsim #learntofly #planespotting #careerinaviation #flyingbeast #businessjet #SoloFlight #JetPilot #atc #cpdlc #starlink #trending #viral #embraer #phenom300e
