Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9635 · Gulfstream Aerospace LP Airplanes
Gulfstream Aerospace LP Airplanes
This AD applies to Gulfstream Aerospace LP 1125 Westwind Astra.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain IAI, Ltd., Model 1125 Westwind Astra series airplanes. This action requires a visual inspection for clearance between the hydraulic lines/vacuum lines and the electrical wire bundles, and repair or replacement of damaged lines or wire bundles with serviceable parts. This AD also requires installation of neoprene hose around the affected hydraulic lines and vacuum lines. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that chafing was found on a hydraulic line. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent such chafing, which could result in leakage of hydraulic fluid and subsequent loss of one of the two hydraulic systems.
