AD NUMBER: 2004-22-16
MANUFACTURER: Gulfstream
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2004-22-16
SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Gulfstream Model GV and GVSPseries airplanes. This AD requires a one-time general visual inspection for contact orinsufficient clearance between the crew oxygen bottle/supports and any wiring harness, andrelated 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 inservice airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent chafing of the electrical wires of the wiringharness against the crew oxygen bottle, which could result in electrical shorting and possible fire in the under floor structure of the airplane.
