What to do
Affected operators must revise their maintenance or inspection programs to incorporate the specified airworthiness limitations by February 24, 2026. They may use later revisions of the relevant AMM sections if the content is identical to the approved versions. Operators should contact Gulfstream or the FAA for the incorporated materials and ensure compliance within the stated deadlines to maintain regulatory conformity.
Summary
EASA AD US-2026-01-02 is a final airworthiness directive issued by the FAA for all Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVI airplanes. It mandates revisions to the maintenance or inspection programs to incorporate new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The directive aims to prevent failure of principal structural elements and maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft throughout their service life.
What changed
This new airworthiness directive introduces updated airworthiness limitations by requiring incorporation of Section 05-10-10, "Airworthiness Limitations," from the Gulfstream G650 and G650ER Aircraft Maintenance Manuals, Revision 24 and 19 respectively, dated October 30, 2024, or later identical revisions. It clarifies that operators may use later AMM revisions if the airworthiness limitations remain unchanged, and it does not mandate the entire AMM but only the specified airworthiness limitations section.
Why it matters
This directive is critical for aviation professionals because it addresses an unsafe condition that could compromise the structural integrity of Gulfstream Model GVI airplanes. Operators and maintenance organizations must update their maintenance programs to comply with the new limitations to avoid potential structural failures. Compliance ensures continued airworthiness and safety of the fleet, preventing costly repairs or grounding due to structural issues.
