Description
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-15-04, which applied to all Gulfstream Aerospace LP Model G150 airplanes. The previous AD required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program to incorporate a new airworthiness limitation. The new AD continues to require these actions and mandates revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This action addresses unsafe conditions such as fatigue damage in principal structural elements and failure of the nose landing gear actuator-to-strut attachment pin.
