Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Proposes New Airworthiness Directive for GV and GV-SP Airplanes

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a new airworthiness directive (AD) that would require inspections to ensure a third Halon fire extinguisher bottle is installed in the auxiliary power unit (APU) impact zone, restrict APU usage for certain models, and remove the third bottle from others to prevent damage to the airplane's structure and flight controls.
