A61NM 6
NOTES:
NOTE 1: Weight and balance:
A current weight and balance report, including a 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.
The certificated basic empty weight and corresponding center of gravity location must include the
total engine oil, hydraulic fluid and unusable fuel.
NOTE 2: Airplane operation must be in accordance with a CAAI approved Airplane Flight Manual. All
placards required by the AFM, operating rules, and the certification basis must be installed in the
appropriate locations.
NOTE 3: Maintenance Program, including Service Life Limits and Required
Maintenance/Inspections/Reporting:
Chapter 5 -10-10 of the Gulfstream G280 Maintenance Manual, part number G280 -1001-3, basic
issue, dated August 24, 2012 contains the Airworthiness Limitations Section required by 14 CFR part
25 appendix H25.4. Later revisions to the Chapter 5 -10-10 must be approved prior to incorporation
into the maintenance program of airplanes operated under the type certificate. The Chapter 5 -10-10
includes the following components:
• Life limited components are listed in the Tables 4 and 5.
• The mandatory systems certification maintenance requirements, raised from the safety analysis,
are listed in the Table 6.
• The fuel tank system airworthiness limitations are listed in the Table 6.
• The fuel tank system critical design configuration control limitations (CDCCLs) are listed in
the Table 7.
Additionally, the FAA has concluded that the occurrence of any uncontrollable high -thrust failure
condition, or any of the associated causal failures listed in Chapter 05-10-10 of the G280 Maintenance
Manual, may endanger the safe operation of an airplane, and hence are reportable under Title 14,
Code of Federal Regulations 121.703(c), 125.409(c), and 135.415(c).
NOTE 4: The type design defined by GALP drawings 30P000999900 -501 Revision A and report
30P000/120060 Revision New includes approved seating for pilot and copilot only, and has peculiar
provisions and limitations linked to this limited occupancy. A forward observer seat is not included
in the approved type design.
Modifications intended to expand occupancy provisions to other than pilot and copilot seating
approved under the TC must be approved. Certification guidance for interior installations is provided
in GALP report 30P090/060643 Rev. A or higher “G280 Certification Specification for the Green
Aircraft Completion Center Interface.”
In addition to occupancy considerations noted above, compliance to 14 CFR 25.809(a) was found:
(a) for the over wing exit by using both the window in the exit and the window immediately forward
of the exit. It isn’t possible to view the likely area of evacuee ground contact from the over wing
exit window therefore the window immediately forward of the exit was used for this purpose.
No items may be installed between the over wing exit and the window immediately forward of
the over wing exit that could cause an obstruction. Questi ons regarding a proposed installation
in this area must be coordinated with the TC issuing office.
( b ) for the Main Entry Door (MED) exit by using the left hand (LH) forward -most cabin window
which is immediately aft of and adjacent to the MED. No items may be installed that could cause
an obstruction of this window, unless alternative viewing means are approved. Questions
regarding a proposed installation in this area must be coordinated with the TC issuing office.
NOTE 5: The G280 model incorporates integrated avionics systems using software-based line replaceable units
(LRUs) which share a digital transmission bus. Modification to the LRU software or alteration of the
LRU interface could adversely affect the airworthiness of the certified product. LR U software
configurations approved under the TC are defined in GALP Document 30P8000005 Rev.W, “TOP
ELECT.& AVIONIC PART LIST BASIC FINAL ASSY.” Changes to the integrated avionics system
must be approved.

NOTE 6: G280 airplane serial numbers 2003 through 2009 were imported into the U.S. under the provisional
TC issued March 1, 2012. These serial number airplanes did not conform to the FAA -approved type
design definition at the time of import. Eligibility for a standard certificate of airworth iness on these
airplanes requires a determination of conformity to the type design definition approved under the
FAA TC. The modifications necessary to bring these airplanes from the exported configuration to the
FAA TC type design configuration are described in a Task Transfer Reports (TTR) prepared for each
serial number airplane, according to the G280 GALP PTC to TC Configuration Management Plan,
IAI Document Number 30P002/120376, Revision A, dated July 26, 2012.
NOTE 7: Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) LTD., Ben Gurion International Airport 70100, ISRAEL, is
licensed by GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE LP to manufacture and obtain Airworthiness Certificates
for the aircraft models listed in this Type Certificate Data Sheet.
NOTE 8: GALP letter CAAI/11140/BM, dated July 18, 2011 provides notification of a model designation
change from G250 to G280. Some FAA special conditions, exemptions, and equivalent safety finding
memorandums issued prior to this date include the G250 model desig nation but are fully applicable
to the Model Gulfstream G280.
NOTE 9: In accordance with the FAA Decision contained in Time -limited Exemption No. 10612 for 14 CFR
Section 25.981(a)(3): Fuel Tank Ignition Prevention, no aircraft may operate after June 30, 2014
unless production modification G25 -10706 or its associated service bulletin 280 -57-036, and

NOTE 10: In accordance with the FAA Decision contained in Time-limited Exemption No. 10613A from certain
engine installation operational limitation and engine indication provisions: no aircraft may operate
after December 31, 2015 unless production modification G25-10022 or its associated service bulletin
280-30-017, and production modification G25 -20061 or its associated service bulletin 280- 76-111
are incorporated.
NOTE 11: In accordance with the FAA Decision contained in Time-limited Exemption No. 10408A for 14 CFR
Section 25.901(c): Uncontrollable High Thrust Failure Conditions, production aircraft starting from
aircraft Serial Number 2110 are equipped with the approved amended type design (production
modification G25 -10054) which satisfies the conditions required to remove this exemption from
those aircraft having incorporated production modification G25-10054.
NOTE 12: In accordance with the FAA Decision contained in the Partial Grant of Exemption No. 17440, relief
