Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) that requires owners of specific light aircraft to inspect their fuel lines for defects.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of two specific Gulfstream (Grumman American) aircraft models with particular factory serial numbers:

Model AA5A — serial numbers 0001 to 0124, but only if fitted with optional long-range fuel tanks
Model AA5B — serial numbers 0001 to 0258

What you must do: Carry out an inspection of the fuel lines following the instructions in Grumman American Service Bulletin No. 154.

When: The inspection must be completed within 100 hours of flying time (counted from 31 August 1976).

Why it matters: Fuel line failures can cause engine stoppages or fires. This directive ensures potentially defective fuel lines on these specific aircraft are identified and fixed before they cause accidents.
