Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-23230 · Wings
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes
This AD applies to all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVI airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVI airplanes. This AD was prompted by a determination that new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in Section 05-10-10, “Airworthiness Limitations,” Chapter 05, “Time Limits/Maintenance Checks,” Gulfstream G650 Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 24, dated October 30, 2024; and Section 05-10-10, “Airworthiness Limitations,” Chapter 05, “Time Limits/Maintenance Checks,” Gulfstream G650ER Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 19, dated October 30, 2024; as applicable. The initial compliance time for doing the tasks is at the time specified in Section 05-10-10, “Airworthiness Limitations,” Chapter 05, “Time Limits/Maintenance Checks,” Gulfstream G650 Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 24, dated October 30, 2024; and Section 05-10-10, “Airworthiness Limitations,” Chapter 05, “Time Limits/Maintenance Checks,” Gulfstream G650ER Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 19, dated October 30, 2024; as applicable, or within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later. Using a later revision of Section 05-10-10 of the applicable AMM with information identical to that contained in Section 05-10-10, “Airworthiness Limitations,” Chapter 05, “Time Limits/Maintenance Checks,” Gulfstream G650 Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 24, dated October 30, 2024; and Section 05-10-10, “Airworthiness Limitations,” Chapter 05, “Time Limits/Maintenance Checks,” Gulfstream G650ER Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Revision 19, dated October 30, 2024; as applicable, is acceptable for compliance with the requirements of this paragraph.
After the existing maintenance or inspection program has been revised as required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions and intervals are approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (j) of this AD.
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.
