AD: Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation

AD NUMBER: 2011-24-02

MANUFACTURER: Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation Model GV and GV-SP Airplanes
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2011-24-02
ACTION: Final rule

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by notification from the airplane manufacturer that the third fire extinguisher bottle is mounted in a small-fragment impact zone.

This AD requires inspecting to determine whether a third Halon fire extinguisher bottle is installed in the auxiliary power unit (APU) fragment impact zone, revising the limitations section of the airplane flight manual to add restrictions for APU usage for certain airplanes having a third fire extinguisher bottle, and removing the third fire extinguisher bottle from certain airplanes.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent penetration of the bottle by fragments released due to a failure of the APU rotor system. The bottle could rupture and cause substantial damage to primary airframe structure and primary flight controls.

DATES: This AD is effective January 3, 2012

FMI: AD
