Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19805 · Flight controls
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes
This AD applies to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVI airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (Gulfstream) Model GVI airplanes. This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) for your airplane by adding an airplane flight manual supplement (AFMS), which contains operating limitations and abnormal procedures for loss of rudder or yaw damper. This AD was prompted by a report of an inflight rudder surface shutdown that resulted in lateral-directional oscillations of the airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 15 days after December 30, 2019 (the effective date of this AD), revise the airplane flight manual for your airplane by adding the applicable airplane flight manual supplement specified below:
(1) Gulfstream Aerospace G650 Airplane Flight Manual Supplement No. G650-2019-03, dated November 4, 2019; or
(2) Gulfstream Aerospace G650ER Airplane Flight Manual Supplement No. G650ER-2019-03, dated November 4, 2019.
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.
