Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a safety order (called an Airworthiness Directive) that requires owners of specific Gulfstream AA-5 series aeroplanes to inspect the hinge on the elevator trim tab.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Gulfstream (Grumman American/American Aviation) AA-5 series aircraft with serial numbers 0001 through 0284.

What you must do: You must inspect the elevator trim tab hinge within 100 hours of flying time after 31 May 1973. The inspection must follow the procedures in American Aviation Service Bulletin No. 136.

Why it matters: This inspection is mandatory to ensure the aircraft remains safe to fly. The elevator trim tab helps control the aircraft's pitch (up and down movement), and a faulty hinge could compromise flight safety.
