Airworthiness Directive 2024-25-03
one-timeAirworthiness 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 cracking in the electrical grounding receptacles located on the left and right wings. This AD requires inspecting the electrical grounding receptacles for cracks and corrosion, performing applicable on-condition actions, and sealing over the grounding receptacles on the top of the wings to permanently disable the receptacle. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2024-25-03 applies to
Serial numbers 72001 through 72139 apply to Model GVII-G500; serial numbers 73001 through 73144 apply to Model GVII-G600.
Whether AD 2024-25-03 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.
