What to do
Affected operators must inspect and adjust the clearance between fuel probes and the forward fuel tank structure following Gulfstream Service Bulletin 280-53-287 or its later approved revisions.

Summary
The Forward Fuel Tank Probes Clearance Verification Airworthiness Directive 4000-3007-2022-0013262 is issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel and applies to GALP model G280 aircraft with serial numbers 2001 through 2184. This directive addresses a potential clearance issue between fuel probes number 1 and 3 and the forward fuel tank structure. It mandates inspection and adjustment to ensure safe operation of the affected aircraft.
What changed
This revision updates the compliance time for the initial Airworthiness Directive ISR-I-53-19-10-5. It requires operators to check and adjust the clearance between the forward fuel tank probes and the tank structure according to Gulfstream Service Bulletin 280-53-287 or later approved revisions. The directive reinforces the need for timely maintenance action to prevent unsafe conditions.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because improper clearance between fuel probes and the fuel tank structure can pose safety risks, including potential fuel leaks or probe damage. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure adherence to avoid grounding aircraft or regulatory penalties. Timely compliance helps maintain airworthiness and operational safety of GALP G280 aircraft.
