This Airworthiness Directive requires owners/operators of specified Gulfstream (Grumman American/American Aviation) AA‑5 series aeroplanes (listed serial numbers) to inspect the upper cowl centre hinge within 100 hours’ time‑in‑service after 16 April 1976 and then at intervals not exceeding 100 hours until the hinge is replaced. The AD refers to Grumman Service Bulletin No.152 or FAA AD 76‑01‑02 for the corrective action.
