CUSTOMER BULLETIN No. 250

SUBJECT FLIGHT CONTROLS (ATA 27) MODIFICATION – GROUND SPOILER HYDRAULIC LINE (ASC-489)

Initial Issue November 9, 2022

CUSTOMER BULLETIN

November 9, 2022 Customer Bulletin No. 250 Page 1 of 3 Flight Controls (ATA 27), Modification – Ground Spoiler Hydraulic Line (ASC-489) I. Planning Information:

A. Effectivity:

Aircraft serial numbers 1000-1535 B. Concurrent Requirements:

This customer bulletin requires incorporation of GI V Aircraft Service Change (ASC) 489, Flight Controls (ATA 27) Ground Spoiler Hydraulic Line – Modification.

C. Reason:

It has been discovered that when performing maintenance on the ground spoiler actuator, it is possible to improperly connect ( cross connect) the G round Spoiler (GS) signal line and the combined hydraulic pressure (P1) line at the actuator. Failure to connect the hydraulic lines to the proper actuator ports can result in improper operation of the ground spoilers, including asymmetrical deployment and operation during flight, potentially leading to loss of control of the aircraft. To address this condition, Gulfstream has developed ASC 489, Flight Controls (ATA 27) Ground Spoiler Hydraulic Line – Modification, which changes the design of the GS signal line to incorporate a new actuator union fitting to increase the interface from a -4 to a -5, and a new hose with a - 5 connector to match the new union fitting. This solution physically prevents improper hydraulic line connection.

D. Safety Intent:

The safety intent of this CB is to prevent future improper connection of the ground spoiler hydraulic lines during maintenance. Failure to properly connect the hydraulic lines to the ground spoiler actuator can result in improper operation of the ground spoilers, including asymmetrical deployment and operation during flight, potentially leading to loss of control of the aircraft.

E. Configuration Description:

Incorporating ASC 489 will result in installing a new GS signal line and union fitting to increase the connection size from -4 to -5 which physically prevents improper line connection.

F. Description:

This customer bulletin is a one -time action to incorporate G 300 ASC 489, Flight Controls (ATA

27) Ground Spoiler Hydraulic Line – Modification, initial issue dated November 9, 2022.

G. Compliance:

Compliance with this customer bulletin is required by August 31, 2024.

H. Approval:

The engineering aspects of this customer bulletin have been reviewed and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, and are the subject of pending Airworthiness Directive regulatory action.

I. Labor Requirements:

Refer to ASC 489 J. Weight and Balance:

Refer to ASC 489
