Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model Galaxy and Model Gulfstream 200 airplanes, that requires a one-time detailed inspection of the wing flap actuators for proper bonding of the flap actuator fairings to the lower skin of the wings, and related corrective or preventative actions. These actions are necessary to prevent possible separation of the flap actuator fairings from the lower skin of the wings from causing possible damage to adjacent structural elements (such as the horizontal stabilizer), which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. These actions are intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
