Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company (Goodyear) Flight Eagle tires, 34X9.25-16 18PR 210MPH, Part Number (P/N) 348F83-2, that are installed on aircraft. This AD requires you to inspect these tires to determine if they are within a certain serial number range and replace any tires within this serial number range. This AD is the result of several instances of main landing gear (MLG) tire tread separations on Gulfstream aircraft. The actions specified by this AD are intended to remove these tires from service to prevent the potential of these tires experiencing tread separations during operation. These tread separations could result in structural damage to the aircraft, including damage to the flaps, engine nacelles, and wheel wells.
