Type Certificate 1A17 issued May 21, 1959. Date of Application for Type Certificate May 14, 1957. FAR 25.771, Amendment 4. A lockable door is not required between the pilot and passenger compartments. Compliance with the following optional requirements has been established: Ice Protection CAR 4b.640. Data covering ditching requirements of 4b.361 including 4b.362(d) and 4b.742(e) (but excluding 4b.645 and 4b.646) are approved. When the operating rules require emergency ditching equipment, compliance with 4b.645 and 4b.646 must be demonstrated. Grumman Report 1159-GER-7, revised July 25, 1977, entitled "Outfitting Requirements for FAA Certification for Ditching," provides an acceptable means for showing compliance with 4b.645 and 4b.646. Airplane Flight Manual Interim Revision 22.3, or later FAA approved revision must be incorporated. Production Basis None. Prior to original certification of aircraft manufactured subsequent to serial numbers 1 through 12, 14 through 112, 114 through 200, plus 322 and 323, an FAA representative must perform a detailed inspection for workmanship, materials and conformity with the approved data, and a check of the flight characteristics (see NOTE 5.) Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for certification. In addition, the following items of equipment are required: a. FAA approved Airplane Flight Manual, dated May 21, 1959. Reissued July 1, 1960. b. Crew oxygen system installation. When an aircraft is outfitted to carry passengers, an FAA approved passenger oxygen system must be installed. Service Information Service bulletins and other service information, when FAA approved, will carry a statement to that effect. See NOTE 4 regarding Grumman Gulfstream Service Change Number 147. NOTE 1. (a) Current weight and balance report, including list of equipment included in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions when necessary, must be provided for each aircraft at the time of original certification. (b) System or unusable fuel, which must be included in the empty weight, is the amount of fuel required to fill the system plumbing and tank to the undrainable level (2.4 gal. total), plus unavailable fuel in the fuel tanks (8.3 gal. total). The total amount of "system fuel" 10.7 gal. total, 72 lb. (325). System or unusable and undrainable water/methanol are in identical quantity (3.4 gal. or 27 lb. total) and also must be included in the empty weight (325). For aircraft with outer wing panel fuel tank installation (Service Change No. 125), system water/methanol equals 1.8 gal. or 14 lb. total (346). (c) System oil, which must be included in empty weight, is the amount of oil necessary for engine lubrication and propeller operation. The total amount of "system oil" is as follows: 5.7 gal. (total) contained in engines, 45.8 lb. (200.5). NOTE 2. The following placards must be displayed in the locations indicated: (a) On the forward side of the passenger compartment forward door: (if installed) "This door must be OPEN during take-off and landing." Page 7 1A17 (b) On the instrument panel below r.p.m. indicators: "Avoid all continuous operation below 7000 RPM." (c) On aircraft serial numbers 3 and 114 adjacent to each swivel seat: "This seat must be forward facing during take-off and landing." (d) On aircraft serial numbers 2, 3, and 114 on the back rest of the jump seat: "Not to be used during take-off and landing." (e) On the forward side of the passenger compartment rear door: (This placard is required for 24 passenger aircraft and recommended for others.) "This door must be OPEN during take-off and landing." NOTE 3. Retirement Times: The retirement times of fatigue critical life limited components are listed in Section IV, Part 1 of the Gulfstream Aerospace Model 159 (Gulfstream I) Inspection Schedule Manual. The retirement times of these life limited components cannot be increased/changed without FAA Engineering approval. NOTE 4. Grumman Gulfstream Service Change No. 147 regarding large cargo door may be incorporated when the structural inspections specified in Service Change No. 147 are complied with. Grumman Flight Manual Supplement dated 31 August 1962 is also required for this modification. NOTE 5. Spare parts and aircraft may be manufactured at Grumman, Bethpage, Long Island, New York, facility under their production Certificate No. 23. Spare parts may be manufactured at Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, Savannah, Georgia, under Production Certificate No. 507. NOTE 6. When Aircraft Service Change No. 246, "Nacelle Modification to Operate Dart Mark 529-8X, -8Y, and -8Z engines at Higher Maximum Continuous Power Settings" is installed, one of the following Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Supplements is required. Engine Supplement No. -529-8X G1-82-002 -529-8Y G1-82-003 -529-8Z G1-82-004 The higher maximum continuous power settings below can be used where maximum continuous power setting follows use of wet takeoff power. *Engine Rolls Royce Mod RPM TGT (°C) Time Limit -529-8X 1814 15,000 870 Unrestricted -529-8Y 1806 15,000 910 Unrestricted -529-8Z 1810 15,000 920 Unrestricted *These engines must incorporate listed Rolls Royce modifications in order to use above higher maximum continuous power settings. ...END...
