Published Date: 4/16/2026
Rule
Summary
The FAA has set new safety rules for Gulfstream G-IV, GIV-X, GV, and GV-SP airplanes modified by ALOFT AeroArchitects that use rechargeable lithium batteries. These batteries are a new tech feature not fully covered by existing rules, so extra safety standards are now required. This change takes effect immediately and aims to keep flights safe without causing big delays or costs.
