AD 2018-20-04 Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Airplanes
Models named: GVI. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GVI airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 30 days after October 15, 2018 (the effective date of this AD), revise the Normal Procedures and Abnormal Procedures sections of the airplane flight manual by adding the information in Gulfstream Aerospace G650 Airplane Flight Manual Supplement No. G650-2018-01, dated August 14, 2018; or Gulfstream Aerospace G650ER Airplane Flight Manual Supplement No. G650ER-2018-01, dated August 14, 2018; as applicable to the model configuration of your airplane.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by the potential for an un-annunciated failure of the bi-directional data bus that sends critical signals from the flight control computer to the flight controls. This unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in the flight control computer's inability to identify when a problematic flight control surface needs to be damped, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
