Power Plant - Engine Mount System - Inspection
Emergency Airworthiness Directive FAA AD 2026-13-51 addresses a critical safety issue affecting Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVIII-G700 and GVIII-G800 airplanes. The directive focuses on inspecting the engine mount system, specifically the engine thrust strut mounts, due to reports of broken hollow pin caps caused by missing or displaced sleeve bushings. This condition risks structural failure of the engine mount system and possible in-flight engine separation.
