Airworthiness Directive 2017-07-06
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model G-1159B airplanes. This AD was prompted by a review of airplane maintenance records, which revealed that incorrect rudder assemblies were installed on certain airplanes. This AD requires certain inspections, and replacement or modification of the rudder assembly if necessary. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2017-07-06 applies to
Model G-1159B airplanes are also referred to by marketing designation GIIB.
Whether AD 2017-07-06 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
