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 a report of a failed rear engine mount discovered during a preflight walk-around due to visible engine misalignment. This AD requires inspecting the left and right engine mount points within the pylons and engine nacelles for non-conforming hardware installation, repairing the engine mount points if necessary, and revising the existing aircraft maintenance manual (AMM) to include revised procedures for engine removal and installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Whether AD 2024-10-15 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 2024-10-15 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.
