Summary
Jet Aviation AG is updating the Gulfstream GVI airplane with a new oxygen system that shares oxygen between pilots and passengers for health benefits. Since current safety rules don’t cover this cool new setup, special safety standards are being added to keep everyone safe. This affects the airplane’s design and ensures it meets top safety levels before flying.

New Safety Rules for Shared Oxygen
The FAA issued special conditions for Gulfstream Model GVI airplanes modified by Jet Aviation AG that install an oxygen distribution system sharing a source of supplemental and therapeutic oxygen between pilots and passengers. These special conditions require additional safety standards so the shared-oxygen design meets a level of safety equivalent to existing airworthiness standards before the modified airplane may fly.
