Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: An Airworthiness Directive (a mandatory safety order) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).

What it requires: Owners of Gulfstream AA-5 series aircraft must seal a gap between the glove box and the instrument panel (the dashboard). This prevents items—like charts, pens, or debris—from falling through the gap and potentially interfering with flight controls or causing other safety hazards.

Who it affects: Anyone who owns or operates a Gulfstream (formerly Grumman American/American Aviation) AA-5 series aeroplane, regardless of the specific model variant.

When compliance was required: Within 100 hours of flight time after 31 December 1978 (meaning this directive is now long-standing and should already be complied with for any aircraft still in operation).
