## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Astra SPX and 1125 Westwind Astra series airplanes, that requires removing the existing oxygen shutoff valve and installing a new oxygen shutoff valve. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent rapid adiabatic compression within the oxygen line between the oxygen shutoff valve and the pressure regulator due to a shutoff valve that can be opened quickly, which could result in overheating of the oxygen system and consequent fire in the cockpit. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
