Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Model GV and GV-SP Series Airplanes
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Gulfstream Model GV and GV-SP series airplanes. This AD requires a one-time general visual inspection for contact or insufficient clearance between the crew oxygen bottle/supports and any wiring harness, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. This AD also requires, for certain airplanes, adjusting the wiring harness to obtain a minimum clearance between the crew oxygen bottle and wiring, and applying Teflon sheeting, as applicable; and for certain other airplanes, reworking certain wiring bundles. This AD is prompted by reports of insufficient clearance between certain wiring harnesses and the crew oxygen bottle on several in-production and in- service airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent chafing of the electrical wires of the wiring harness against the crew oxygen bottle, which could result in electrical shorting and possible fire in the underfloor structure of the airplane.
