The free chapter.

Each measure against all 213 tracked Global 5000/5500s. Every dot is one aircraft; the gold one is VT-SHG.

Chapter 1

Fatigue

Typical for its type

How short were its legs?

Utilization isn’t graded for VT-SHG: too few of its flights were tracked to count its use fairly, in the full report too. So its free chapter here is Fatigue, which doesn’t depend on catching every flight.

It lands about as often for its hours as most of the fleet, so cycles have built up at a normal pace.
