Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVII-G500 and GVII-G600 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of two landing incidents in which the alpha limiter engaged in the landing flare in unstable air, resulting in high rate of descent landings and damage to the airplanes. This AD requires updating the flight control computer (FCC) software. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

MakesGulfstream
ModelsGVII-G500, GVII-G600, GVII
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 72001–72111, 73001–73106.
Part-conditional — 72P2700001Z100-SW6.3, 72P2700001Z200-SW6.3, 72P2700001Z100-SW8.1, 72P2700001Z200-SW8.1, C13204JB01, C13212JB01, C13204KB01, C13212KB01.

Applies only to airplanes with flight control computer (FCC) COM-MON Module A and Module B software revisions installed as specified in Figure 1 to paragraph (c) of the AD (GVII-G500: SW6.3, Thales P/N C13204JB01 / C13212JB01; GVII-G600: SW8.1, Thales P/N C13204KB01 / C13212KB01).

Whether AD 2023-11-09 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
Date — When the work was done.
Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2023-11-09 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
