Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream 

Model GV and GV–SP Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: 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.

DATES: Effective November 19, 2004. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the AD is 

approved by the Director of the Federal 

Register as of November 19, 2004. 

We must receive comments on this 

AD by January 3, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We have 

received reports indicating that 

insufficient clearance was found 

between certain wiring harnesses and 

the crew oxygen bottle on several inproduction and in-service Gulfstream 

Model GV and GV–SP series airplanes. 

Interference between the wiring harness 

and crew oxygen bottle could cause 

chafing of the electrical wires of the 

wiring harness and consequent 

electrical shorting. Electrical shorting, if 

not prevented, could result in a fire in 

the underfloor structure of the airplane. 

Other Related AD 

On August 26, 1998, we issued AD 

98–18–15, amendment 39–10731 (63 FR 

46870, September 3, 1998), which 

addresses the same unsafe condition as 

this AD. AD 98–18–15 is applicable to 

certain other Gulfstream Model GV 

series airplanes (serial numbers 501 

through 549 inclusive) that are not 

included in the applicability of this AD. 

That AD currently requires a one-time 

inspection to measure the clearance 

between a certain wiring harness and 

the crew oxygen bottle; corrective 

actions, if necessary; and eventual 

relocation of the crew oxygen bottle and 

rework of the lines and tubing 

associated with the crew and passenger 

oxygen bottles. 

Relevant Service Information 

We have reviewed the following 

customer bulletins:

Alert customer bulletin— Revision level— Date—

Gulfstream GV Alert Customer Bulletin 21 (for Model GV series airplanes) ...................................... Original .................... September 13, 2004. 

Gulfstream G500 Alert Customer Bulletin 1 (for Model GV–SP (G500) series airplanes), including 

Gulfstream Drawing 1159SB59987.

Original ....................

A ..............................

September 13, 2004. 

September 8, 2004. 

Gulfstream G550 Alert Customer Bulletin 1 (for Model GV–SP (G550) series airplanes), including 

Gulfstream Drawing 1159SB59987.

Original ....................

A ..............................

September 13, 2004. 

September 8, 2004. 

The customer bulletins describe 

procedures for doing a one-time 

inspection of the area around the 

forward end of the crew oxygen bottle, 

including any supports, for contact or 

insufficient clearance with any wiring 

harness, and related investigative and 

corrective actions if necessary. The 

related investigative action includes 

inspecting the wiring for damage if the 

wiring harness is in contact with the 

crew oxygen bottle or any supports. The 

corrective action includes applying 

Teflon sheeting to the wiring harness if 

necessary; and contacting the 

manufacturer if wiring damage is found. 

Gulfstream GV Alert Customer Bulletin 

21 also describes procedures for 

adjusting the wiring harness to obtain a 

minimum clearance of 0.250 inch 

between the crew oxygen bottle and 

wiring if necessary, and applying Teflon 

sheeting if necessary. Gulfstream G550 

Alert Customer Bulletin 1 and 

Gulfstream G500 Alert Customer 

Bulletin 1 also describe procedures for 

reworking certain wiring bundles. The 

reworking includes the following 

actions: 

• Adding new harness supports to the 

existing harness supports at stations 

241, 253, and 265; 

• For certain airplanes, relocating the 

completion center wire bundle through 

the new support, and for certain other 

airplanes, relocating wire bundle R77 

ORG through the new support; and 

• Inspecting any remaining harness 

bundles in the area around the 

passenger and crew oxygen bottles, and 

redressing any harness bundles that do 

not meet the minimum separation 

requirement of 0.500 inch. 

Accomplishing the actions specified 

in the service information is intended to 

adequately address the unsafe 

condition. 

FAA’s Determination and Requirements 

of This AD 

The unsafe condition described 

previously is likely to exist or develop 

on other airplanes of the same type 

design. Therefore, 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. 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions specified in the service 

information described previously, 

except as discussed under ‘‘Differences 

Between the AD and Customer 

Bulletins.’’

Differences Between the AD and 

Customer Bulletins 

In this AD, the inspections for 

clearance and damage to wiring 

specified in the Gulfstream customer 

bulletins are referred to as ‘‘general 

visual inspections.’’ We have included 

the definition for a general visual 

inspection in a note in this AD. 

Although the customer bulletins 

specify that operators may contact the 

manufacturer for disposition of certain 

repair conditions, this AD would 

require operators to repair those 

conditions according to a method 

approved by the FAA. 

Although the customer bulletins 

referenced in this AD specify to submit 

certain information to the manufacturer, 

this AD does not include that 

requirement. 

FAA’s Determination of the Effective 

Date 

An unsafe condition exists that 

requires the immediate adoption of this 

AD; therefore, providing notice and 

opportunity for public comment before 

the AD is issued is impracticable, and 

good cause exists to make this AD 

effective in less than 30 days. 

Comments Invited 

This AD is a final rule that involves 

requirements that affect flight safety and 

was not preceded by notice and an 

opportunity for public comment; 

however, we invite you to submit any 

relevant written data, views, or 

arguments regarding this AD. Send your 

comments to an address listed under 

ADDRESSES. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–

2004–19492; Directorate Identifier 

2004–NM–200–AD’’ at the beginning of 

your comments. We specifically invite 

comments on the overall regulatory, 

economic, environmental, and energy 

aspects of the AD. We will consider all 

comments received by the closing date 

and may amend the AD in light of those 

comments.

We will post all comments we 

receive, without change, to http://

dms.dot.gov, including any personal 

information you provide. We will also 

post a report summarizing each 

substantive verbal contact with FAA 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 213 / Thursday, November 4, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 64257

personnel concerning this AD. Using the 

search function of our docket Web site, 

anyone can find and read the comments 

in any of our dockets, including the 

name of the individual who sent the 

comment (or signed the comment on 

behalf of an association, business, labor 

union, etc.). You can review the DOT’s 

complete Privacy Act Statement in the 

Federal Register published on April 11, 

2000 (65 FR 19477–78), or you can visit 

http://dms.dot.gov. 

We are reviewing the writing style we 

currently use in regulatory documents. 

We are interested in your comments on 

whether the style of this document is 

clear, and your suggestions to improve 

the clarity of our communications with 

you. You can get more information 

about plain language at http://www/

faa.gov/language and http://

Regulatory Findings 

We have determined that this AD will 

not have federalism implications under 

Executive Order 13132. This AD will 

not have a substantial direct effect on 

the States, on the relationship between 

the national Government and the States, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that the regulation: 

1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866; 

2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and 

3. Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

We prepared a regulatory evaluation 

of the estimated costs to comply with 

this AD. See the ADDRESSES section for 

a location to examine the regulatory 

evaluation.
