3. Aircraft Severe Turbulence Reported — Inspection


A. General
The Gulfstream IV aircraft is gust critical over the entire aircraft. Due to low wing loading, it will
experience higher ″g″ loadings for a given turbulence level than many other aircraft.
Turbulence violent enough to damage the airframe may have damaged or dislodged anything not
fully secured in cabin and baggage compartments. Glassware or delicate items may be broken if
not secured in cabinets.
B. Preparation
(1) References
• Jacking Aircraft, 07-01-00, Servicing
• Landing Gear Cycling - Operational Check, 32-00-00, Adjustment / Test or Code
323002
C. Procedure
(1) Comply with exterior inspection of aircraft for skin buckles and fuel leaks.
(2) Inspect the following areas for buckling:
• Both surfaces of wing
• Fuselage from FS 300 - FS 600
• Wing-to-fuselage fairing
• Wing leading edge
• Horizontal tail lower surface
(3) Check main entry door for operation and fit.
(4) Check radio racks and equipment mountings, ensure equipment is secure.
(5) Check security of cabinets and equipment mountings.
(6) Remove carpet between FS 321 - FS 498 and check breather beam at BL 6.0 (right side) and
two tie straps across it for cracks and working fasteners.

MSG-3 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

B. Procedure
(1) Locate and replace failed fluorescent lighting component. Refer to Bruce Industries
Installation Manual 810-040 for removal and installation procedures.
(2) Inspect each fluorescent lamp and ballast connection in system for the following:
• Overheat condition
NOTE: This condition is characterized by melted or discolored wire, connectors or pins and
is indicative of a potentially hazardous situation requiring immediate corrective
action.
Remove and replace all questionable materials displaying this condition.
• Improper connector locking
NOTE: Proper installation of connector body is accomplished by sliding connector body until
external locking mechanism is engaged. If ballast connector is not correctly locked,
tension or pulling of harness may separate connector from ballast.
Verify that locking tabs for each lamp pin are in place securing lamp into lampholder
connector. Loose contacts may cause arcing.
• Missing ejection spring
NOTE: Ejection springs must be installed to prevent partially engaged pins from sustaining
a high impedance or intermittent contact which could cause arcing.
Refer to Bruce Industries Service Letter SL-BC5-0618-901-33-01 for proper
installation of ejection spring.
• Electrical arcing / carbonization on lamp holder or ballast electrical connection
NOTE: Electrical arcing will cause an increase in heat at point of arcing and, if sustained,
will cause lamp holder contact or ballast electrical connection to discolor and
possibly become pitted.
Connections exhibiting this condition must be replaced.
• Improper wire stripping / broken wire strands
NOTE: Improper wire stripping can produce a potentially hazardous condition. Insulation left
between conductor and pin will cause an increase in resistance as well as heat.
Nicked or broken strands can cause the same condition.
When stripping wire, do not expose more wire than required to ensure proper
positioning and contact inside contact pin.
(3) Inspect all lamps for near end-of-life conditions.
NOTE: End-of-life conditions are as follows:
• Diminished light output
• Darkening of lamp ends
• Persistent flickering
• Instability of light output
• Persistent ultraviolet glow
If any near end-of-life conditions are found during this inspection or during future
line checks, affected lamps should be replaced.

7. Composite Rudder — Suspected Damage / Delamination Inspection
A. General
Composite rudders are manufactured in a method completely different from an aluminum rudder.
Composite manufacture for rudder utilizes layers of graphite / epoxy resin. These layers are then
bonded together under heat and pressure to make individual skins, ribs, beams, etc. Individual parts
are, in turn, bonded or mechanically joined together to create rudder assembly.
Inspection of composite rudder is considerably different from aluminum rudder because of
laminations.
In the event of external source damage to rudder skin, very small damage evidence will be seen on
external layer. Internal layer damage will be increased and laminations will likely have separated.
Any suspect damage should be inspected both externally and internally. NDT methods will be
required to accurately establish amount of damage.
B. Procedure
(1) Inspect rudder surfaces and edges for damage.
(2) Accurately document any damage found.
(3) Contact Gulfstream Technical Operations for assistance and disposition.

05-50-00
Page 614
April 30/22
MSG-3 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

A. General
The G-monitor system is designed to aid in determining the need for a Hard / Overweight Landing
- Inspection, 05-50-00, Inspection / Check prior to the next departure. It must be noted that the
maximum certified landing weight of applicable aircraft remains unchanged by this installation as
follows:
• Aircraft 1000 thru Aircraft 1213 excluding Aircraft 1183 not having ASC 190: 58,500 pounds
• Aircraft 1000 thru Aircraft 1213 excluding Aircraft 1183 having ASC 190 and Aircraft 1183,
Aircraft 1214 and subsequent: 66,000 pounds
Landing in excess of this specified weight is considered an emergency procedure.
If it is necessary to land in excess of specified weight or if a harder than normal landing is
suspected, comply with this procedure.
The G restrictions shown on Figure 603 and Figure 604 are based upon Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) required combinations of gross weight and landing sink rate. Normal
crosswind, crab angles and one versus two main landing gear conditions are accounted for in
selection of acceleration limits. Measured accelerations less than or equal to allowable G
restrictions will not result in excessive structural loads.
NOTE: It is essential that operating crew record all such incidents in log book listing as many
particulars as possible such as weight at touchdown, crosswind, landing crab angle,
simultaneous main landing gear contact and G-meter computer display. The crew must
then contact appropriate maintenance personnel for final disposition of actions to be
performed.
Actions performed can then be signed off by appropriate maintenance personnel and
aircraft released for further flights on basis of acceptable G-monitor readings, landing
conditions and visual checks.
See G-Monitor System, 31-04-00, System Description for description of system,
components, locations and operational features.

11. Hard / Overweight Landing — Inspection


A. General
When a hard / overweight landing is reported, the following information should be obtained from
flight crew:
Was it a two point or three point landing?
NOTE: Most landings are two point and there is no need to worry about nose gear unless there is
evidence that it was actually involved.
Was there any significant amount of side load applied to landing gear?
NOTE: Critical side forces would produce a lateral acceleration of 0.5G or more and this would be
detectable by occupants.
What was ground speed at touchdown?

Information For Hard / Overweight Landing) - Inspection, 05-50-00, Inspection / Check.
C. Procedure
CAUTION: TIRE SPEED LIMITATIONS WILL BE EXCEEDED IF TOUCHDOWN IS MADE IN
EXCESS OF 182 KNOTS GROUND SPEED.
(1) Obtain the following information from flight crew on aircraft:

QUESTION ANSWER
1. Was landing a 2 or 3 point landing? 2 Point: _____ 3 Point: _____
2. Was there a significant amount of side load? Yes _____ No _____
3. What was ground speed at touchdown? Knots: _____

(2) Inspect nose gear / Main Landing Gear (MLG) shock struts for grease marks.

05-50-00
Page 619
April 30/22
MSG-3 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: If MLG shock struts closed within an inch of maximum available travel and nose
gear closed to within two inches of available travel, then this is evidence that limit
vertical loads have been exceeded. Extreme vertical loads could force oil past seals.
This will show up as spilled oil around wheels and axle and a loss in strut air
pressure, so strut oil and air pressure should be checked preferably with aircraft on
jacks and no load on gear.
(3) Inspect main landing gear as follows:
NOTE: Critical portion of aircraft for hard / overweight landings is MLG and it’s immediate
attaching structure and wing rear beam between gear and fuselage side.
(a) Inspect main landing gear including side brace attachment fitting, side brace, wheels
and tires.
NOTE: On Aircraft 1000 thru 1213 excluding 1183 not having ASC 190, wheels
should be NDT inspected per ABS Maintenance Manual AP-671 (eddy current
/ ultrasonic and Zyglo).
On Aircraft 1000 thru 1213 excluding 1183 having ASC 190 and Aircraft 1183,
Aircraft 1214 and subsequent, wheels should be NDT inspected per Dunlop
Maintenance Manual, Section 32-43-37 (Check Procedures).
(b) Inspect trunnion support rib at BL 85 and steel covers on top and bottom surface.
(c) Inspect wing rear beam from left BL 85 to right BL 85.
(d) Inspect wing to fuselage attachment fittings at FS 345 and FS 452.
(e) Inspect aircraft fuselage for skin wrinkles between cabin windows below engine pylons
and on bottom center line directly aft of main wheel well.
(4) If there was significant side load, comply with the following:
CAUTION: If Vertical or Lateral Loads are exceeded, landing gear components may be
compromised and require further inspection.
NOTE: If loading was mainly in vertical and drag plane, then damage would be expected to
show up first around aft trunnion pin of MLG.
(a) If vertical loads are in the unacceptable range, inspect gear pins. Refer to the following
Steps.
(b) Check area shown in Figure 605.
(c) Check sponson top and bottom cover plates.
(d) Check wing connections at FS 345 and FS 452 as an additional precaution.
(e) Check wing to fuselage fairing and secondary structure aft of wing rear beam and
inboard of BL 85 for buckles or working fasteners.
(5) If nothing is found in above steps, comply with the following:
NOTE: If bending or buckling has occurred, it will show up as changes in clearance
between gear and surrounding structure, fairing and its surroundings and location of
uplock hook on uplock roller. It is possible to detect smaller deformations if operator
has previously swung the gear and measured actual clearances on his aircraft. To
be strictly accurate, weight condition of aircraft (primarily the amount of fuel in tanks)
should be known and repeated each time gear is swung.
(a) Jack aircraft. See Jacking Aircraft, 07-01-00, Servicing.

05-50-00
Page 620
April 30/22
MSG-3 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(b) Retract landing gear.


(c) Inspect the following:
• Clearance between gear and surrounding structure
• Fairing and surrounding area
• Location of uplock hook on roller
(6) As a final check, comply with the following:
NOTE: If it is not convenient to put aircraft on jacks at its location after incident, visual
checks indicated above must be done more thoroughly and if nothing is found,
aircraft can be ferried gear down to a more suitable base where retraction test can
be carried out.
(a) Remove MLG. See .
(b) Inspect trunnion pin(s) and check for the following:
• Crankshafting
• Condition of holes in gear and leg
(c) Comply with Main Landing Gear Sponson Bores - Structural Inspection, 32-10-00,
Inspection / Check or Code 321401.
(d) Install MLG. See Main Landing Gear - Removal / Installation, 32-01-00, Removal /
Installation or Code 321001.
(e) Check MLG to see if it is horizontal.
NOTE: If limit side loads on MLG were exceeded, one would expect that when aircraft
is on jacks with no load on MLG, axle would no longer be horizontal. This
would be mainly the result of twisting and bending of trailing arm, twisting and
bending of trunnion post and deformation of lugs at trailing arm-trunnion post
intersection. The axle itself might be bent.
The MLG side brace is loaded almost entirely by gear side loads. If it received
a compression load (due to an inward acting side load on gear), then when it
is dismantled there would be brinell marks where segments of internal locking
mechanism bear on barrel. By comparing brinell marks on side brace with
what was obtained on structural test specimen at limit load, it is possible to get
a rough indication of what sort of load was applied. This estimate would have
to be made through Gulfstream Technical Operations. It is not recommended;
however, that side brace be dismantled unless there is other evidence of
excessive load application. On the other hand, if said brinell marks are found
when side brace is dismantled for normal overhaul, then this is clear evidence
that gear (at some time) received an excessive side load and it should be
inspected accordingly.
(f) Check nose gear axle ensuring it is horizontal.
NOTE: Check of axle should be made with aircraft on jacks and levelled.
Nose gear is critical for towing (both forward and aft) and for side loads
induced by ground handling maneuvers. Excessive fore and aft loads will
overload drag brace and its attaching hardware and fittings and downlock
links. Excessive side loads will overload axle, shock strut oleo, outer cylinder
to trunnion lugs, trunnion / trunnion pins (fore and aft bulkhead at BL 12) and
frame at FS 85. Like the MLG, under side load it will bend before it will break.

05-50-00
Page 621
April 30/22
MSG-3 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(g) Retract gear and check for clearances around wheels and how uplock hook mates with
gear.
NOTE: This should indicate whether anything has shifted. Withdrawing knee pin
joining trunnion to outer cylinder and top trunnion pins and examining for
crankshafting and condition of holes will confirm that gear is satisfactory.
The next question that arises is: ″How much deformation can be accepted?″
Basically, the answer is: ″If it is possible, making adjustments as necessary to
still retract and extend gear and to slide shock strut oleo in and out, gear is
basically usable.″
The gear and its supports must be checked very carefully for cracks using
Magnaflux or dye penetrant, if possible (where technical assistance is needed
contact Gulfstream Aerospace Engineering). Bearings must be checked for
play and re-bushed if necessary as play in bearings can give rise to shimmy
and vibration. If axle is not correctly lined up, there will be a penalty in
excessive tire wear.
(7) If discrepancies are found, Contact Gulfstream Technical Operations for assistance and
disposition.
D. Follow On
(1) Inspect the work area for foreign objects and damage.
(2) Remove aircraft from jacks. See Jacking Aircraft, 07-01-00, Servicing.
(3) Record all maintenance actions in accordance with current governing authority.

14. Repairs, Modifications and Outfitting Changes — Inspection


A. General
Airworthiness of an aircraft can be adversely affected by repairs, modifications or outfitting changes.
Changes to outfitting may require a review of floor loading and interior stress analysis to ensure
structure will meet the positive strength margins required by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Incorporation of repairs or modifications must be classified as major or minor changes. Major
changes require verification by stress analysis to ensure that change does not adversely affect
airworthiness of aircraft.
The following areas are covered under a floor loading and interior stress analysis:

• Cabin floor seat tracks • Floor panels / Floorboards


• Cabin floor seat track beams • Seat characteristics (vendor seats only)
• Cross beams • Galley / lavatory installations
• Frames • Fuselage pick-up points for galleys, etc.
• Upper wing planks • Fuselage penetrations

B. Procedure
(1) For questions or dispositions relating to this requirement, contact Gulfstream Technical
Operations.
C. Follow On
(1) Inspect the work area for foreign objects and damage.
(2) Record all maintenance actions in accordance with current governing authority.
15. Reported Lightning Strike — Inspection
A. General
Lightning strike incidents, involving Gulfstream Aircraft, have destroyed pitot heads and caused
localized burns on trailing edges on the empennage. Copper lightning conductors have become the
electrical extremity of the aircraft and attracted lightning strikes.
B. Preparation
(1) Reference
• Rolls-Royce Publication M-Tay-1RR
(2) Aircraft Preparation
(a) Obtain the following information from flight crew and / or occupants of aircraft:

Table 601: Lightning Strike Information

QUESTION ANSWER
1. Did anyone actually see strike and if so, where was Yes ___ No ___
it?
2. Was landing gear extended or retracted? Extended: Retracted:
___ ___

05-50-00
Page 627
April 30/22
MSG-3 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

QUESTION ANSWER
3. Were flaps extended or retracted? Extended: Retracted:
___ ___
4. Were spoilers extended or retracted? Extended: Retracted:
___ ___

C. Procedure
(1) Determine where current entered and left aircraft.
NOTE: Static discharge wicks are the most likely exit path for electrical current. Since
surface coating is the main conducting path on these, surface will show a charred
appearance. These particular wicks must be replaced if this effect is observed.
Extremities of aircraft, wingtips, winglets, nose and tail are likely areas and any other
projecting sharp corners (see Table 601). Any strike forward of windshield should
have been observed by flight crew. Inspect aft corners of control surfaces and tabs
since these may not have been in neutral position at instant of strike. The usual
indication is a small hole up to 1/4 inch diameter with adjacent sputtering of molten
metal and discoloration of paint.
(2) If there is evidence that current passed through a moveable surface (i.e., an aileron or
spoiler), comply with inspection of all connections between that surface and parent surface.
NOTE: These are bonding jumpers, hinge bearings and control system. In case of wing-
mounted moveable surfaces, inspect controls all the way along rear beam. In case
of empennage, inspect controls as far as fuselage. If there are indications that heavy
current went through a bearing. The suspected bearing should be taken apart for
examination of bearing surfaces and condition of grease and a sealed proprietary
bearing that does not readily come apart should be replaced. If current traveled
through an elevator, the horizontal tail pivot area and horizontal tail actuator and its
attachments should be inspected. If there are no signs visible to the eye, then a
functional check of particular system will complete inspection.
(3) If landing gear was down, comply with thorough inspection of gear.
NOTE: It is unlikely that lightning damage would affect structural integrity or shock
absorbing quantities of gear but grease nipples have been melted and any
projecting component hung on gear is vulnerable. If there are indications that
current passed through gear, then all bearings between fixed airframe structure and
where current went from gear to air should be inspected. Where a grease nipple has
been melted, that joint must be taken apart and condition of surfaces inspected,
melted grease nipple replaced and all grease passages cleared. This should be
done within 50 flying hours.
(4) If there are more than two square inches of paint discoloration on any component attributable
to electrical discharge, then all moveable joints between electrical discharge points and
airframe structure should be taken apart and inspected.
(5) If bracket on landing gear has been struck, comply with the following:
(a) If bracket held an electrical component, comply with functional / operational check of
electrical component.
(b) If bracket held a hydraulic component, drain, flush and refill hydraulic system.

05-50-00
Page 628
April 30/22
MSG-3 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: If a hydraulic component is struck, it is possible that hydraulic fluid within the
component could have been subject to excessive heat. If this possibility
exists, hydraulic system should be drained, flushed and refilled. Normally,
current will pass through structure and gear rather than hydraulic
components. Generated heat absorbed by hydraulic fluid will depend on how
much of a mass of metal there is around to form a heat sink. If there is any
doubt, the hydraulic system should be drained.
(6) Comply with visual inspection of all structural joints between point where current entered
airframe and point where it left.
NOTE: On occasion, one rivet has a lower resistance than others and attracts a low current.
This can cause a rivet to melt away. Paint discoloration will also be evident. If such
a condition covers an area of several fasteners, it will be necessary to check the
heat treat condition of the material to determine if it has been locally affected. If this
situation is encountered, contact Gulfstream Technical Operations for assistance.
(7) Comply with visual inspection external projections such as antennas or angle-of-attack
probes.
NOTE: External projections attract electrical discharge currents. If these components
continue to function satisfactorily, it is an indication that there was probably no
damage incurred.
(8) Refer to Rolls-Royce Publication M-Tay-1RR for additional information concerning engine
inspections after lightning strike.
D. Follow On
(1) Inspect the work area for foreign objects and damage.
(2) Record all maintenance actions in accordance with current governing authority.
16. Aircraft Residual Deicing / Anti-icing Fluid — Inspection / Cleaning
NOTE: Aircraft winter operation may require ground application of deicing and anti-icing fluids to protect
against performance degradation due to presence of snow, ice or frost in critical locations on the
aircraft. This can result in fluid collecting in aerodynamically quiet areas or crevices, which do not
flow off the wing during the takeoff ground roll. An accumulation of fluids in these areas can dry
to a gel-like or powdery substance and can under certain atmospheric conditions rehydrate and
expand and at higher altitudes freeze. In some cases the residues had been generated from
fluids applied many months, or even years earlier. Fluid gels have been found in and around
gaps between stabilizers, elevator tabs and hinge areas. This can be especially critical for non-
powered control surfaces such as trim tabs and can restrict flight control movement.
The operation of aircraft flight controls has been impaired by rehydrated residue from thickened
anti-icing fluids (Type II and Type IV) that have frozen. Type III fluids have not been linked to any
events involving control problems, but they have only been available for a short time and there
is no fundamental reason to expect that they will not have the same residue problems that have
been caused by Type II and Type IV fluids. Such occurrences have not been reported when a
two step deicing / anti-icing procedure is used in which the first step is a hot Type 1 fluid mixture
or hot water.
Aircraft exposed to anti-icing fluids shall be subjected to periodic inspections for fluid residue and
any residue found shall be removed in accordance with this procedure. The frequency of the
inspections should be based on each operator’s experience after at least one winter season
worth of data. For the period of time prior to accumulating sufficient inspection data to define the
frequency appropriate to the operator’s circumstances the following schedule shall be utilized.

05-50-00
Page 629
April 30/22
MSG-3 MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Before the winter season any aircraft that has been previously treated with Type II, Type III or
Type IV deicing / anti-icing fluids in previous years shall be inspected and cleaned as outlined in
this procedure. After the initial inspection the process shall continue as long as the aircraft is
subjected to Type II, Type III or Type IV deicing / anti-icing fluids unless a two step process is
used.
If an aircraft has been inspected and cleaned as outlined in this procedure and it is not exposed
to deicing / anti-icing fluids no further inspection will be required until the aircraft is exposed to
the fluids again. Some operators will find the need to inspect more frequently and Gulfstream
encourages the inspections to be performed as frequently as practical until sufficient data has
been accumulated to define the appropriate frequency.

B. Procedure
(1) Inspect for presence of dry or rehydrated deicing / anti-icing residue on aerodynamic quiet
areas as follows:
(a) Inspect locations shown in Figure 607.
(b) Visually inspect for presence of dry or rehydrated residue on any hardware or structure
in area.
NOTE: Residue may be difficult to see, especially if dry.
Dry residue will normally be a thin film that may be hard to see, especially if
partially covered by dirt or grease.
Rehydrated residue will often be a gel like substance of more visible
thickness.
(c) Spray area with a fine mist of water to rehydrate any residue that may be present.
NOTE: The use of warm or hot water may accelerate the rehydration process.
Wait at least 15 minutes to allow rehydration to take place.
(d) If no rehydrated residue is visible, repeat Step 16.B.(1)(c) a minimum of 3 additional
times including the 15 minute wait time to allow rehydration to take place.
(2) Once residue from deicing / anti-icing fluid has been identified and locations recorded,
remove residue as follows:
CAUTION: DO NOT SPRAY CONTROLS WITH WATER WHEN AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING UNLESS AIRCRAFT IS IN A
HEATED HANGAR. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN ICE THAT IMPAIRS
FLIGHT CONTROL OPERATION.
THE CLEANING PROCESS HAS THE POTENTIAL OF REMOVING
GREASE FROM CONTROL SYSTEM BEARINGS AND FITTINGS.
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID SPRAYING HIGH VELOCITY
CLEANING FLUIDS INTO BEARINGS AND FITTING OR ONTO
CONTROL CABLES.
THE CLEANING PROCESS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO WASH RESIDUE
INTO OTHER AREAS WHERE IT MAY DEPOSIT AND CREATE
FUTURE PROBLEMS. THESE AREAS MUST BE FLUSHED UNTIL
OPERATOR IS CONFIDENT THAT ANY DEICING / ANTI-ICING FLUID
RESIDUE IS COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT.
(a) Apply warm water, Type I fluid or a mixture of Type I fluid and warm water with a hose
and nozzle at the lowest velocity that is sufficient to remove the residue.
NOTE: Test data has shown that using a detergent additive with water reduces
cleaning effectivity. In addition, Type II, Type III or Type IV (thickened) fluid
should not be used.

17. Aircraft Exposure to Volcanic Ash — Inspection


NOTE: Volcanic ash particles are usually less than 5 microns and very abrasive. Ash can penetrate all
orifices and cause erosion or etching on the surface. Ash particles can accumulate on all
lubricated surfaces, in all corners and can cause contamination of all system filters. It is not
possible to determine the level of damage volcanic ash contamination can cause. Therefore a
full aircraft inspection is necessary to determine the extent of contamination.
