FAA Issues New Safety Directives for Gulfstream GVI Airplanes

## Summary

If you own or operate a Gulfstream GVI airplane, listen up! The FAA is rolling out new, stricter safety rules that require updating your maintenance plans to keep your plane in top shape.

This AD was prompted by a determination that new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

- FAA Accepts Later Identical AMM Revisions: benefit, low. The FAA allows using a later revision of Section 05-10-10 of the applicable AMM for compliance if the later revision is identical to the content in G650 AMM Revision 24 or G650ER AMM Revision 19 (both dated October 30, 2024). This means operators who already have later identical AMM revisions do no…
