Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14602 · Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Galaxy and Model Gulfstream 200 Airplanes
Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Galaxy and Model Gulfstream 200 Airplanes
This AD applies to all Gulfstream Model Galaxy and Model Gulfstream 200 airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Galaxy and Model Gulfstream 200 airplanes. This AD requires revising the Limitations section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) by incorporating revised takeoff performance tables. This AD results from a correction of the power setting logic and table limits in the performance model by the engine manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to ensure that the flightcrew is provided with correct information to ensure a safe takeoff at certain altitudes; inadequate takeoff performance tables used in such conditions could result in reduced control of the airplane during takeoff.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 50 flight hours after the effective date of this AD: Revise the Limitations section of the Gulfstream 200 AFM, by incorporating the information specified in Section V, “Performance,” of Israel Aircraft Industries Gulfstream 200 Temporary Revision (TR) 7, dated August 18, 2003, as specified in the TR. Section V of TR 7 includes procedures for incorporating revised takeoff performance tables. Thereafter, operate the airplane according to the limitations and procedures in Section V of TR 7. This may be done by inserting a copy of Section V of Gulfstream TR 7 into the AFM. When Section V of TR 7 has been included in the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in Section V of TR 7.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
