Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This airworthiness directive requires inspection of engine fire-extinguisher electrical power leads after any maintenance that could cause a cross‑connection (Requirement 1), and mandates modification of the electrical leads and extinguisher plumbing according to Gulfstream service changes by 19 August 1995 (Requirement 2). It applies to Gulfstream G1159/G1159A/G1159B and G‑IV aeroplanes. Aircraft owners/operators pay for inspections and the mandated modifications; inspections must be done immediately after qualifying maintenance and completing the modification stops the need for repeated checks.
