Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22309 · Landing gear system
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes
This AD applies to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GV and GV-SP airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
Note 1 to paragraph (c): Model GV-SP airplanes are also referred to by the marketing designations G500, G550, and G500-5000.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation (Gulfstream) Model GV and GV-SP airplanes. This AD was prompted by the omission of a life limit in the airworthiness limitations section (ALS) of the maintenance manual for a certain main landing gear (MLG) trunnion pin. This AD requires revising the ALS of the existing instructions for continued airworthiness (ICA) or inspection program for the airplane to establish a life limit for the affected MLG trunnion pin. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, revise the existing ALS of the instructions for continued airworthiness or aircraft inspection program for your airplane by establishing a life limit of 20,000 flight cycles for each MLG trunnion pin part number (P/N) 1159SCL566-17.
Note 2 to paragraph (g): The life limit in paragraph (g) of this AD is contained in table 5 in Section 05-10-10 of the Gulfstream V Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 55, dated March 15, 2022; table 4 in Section 05-10-10 of the Gulfstream G500-5000 Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 36, dated March 15, 2022; and table 4 in Section 05-10-10 of the Gulfstream G550 Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 36, dated March 15, 2022.
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.
