MAINTENANCE MANUAL
TIME LIMITS / MAINTENANCE CHECKS
1. Introduction
A. General
This chapter, in general, has been prepared in accordance with the Air Transport Association of
America (ATA) 100 Specifications.
The maintenance program has been prepared by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation to provide
operator with information necessary to comply with requirements of FAR 91, Sub Part E, Section
91.409, Paragraph (f)(3) of the General Operating and Flight Rules of the Federal Aviation
Regulations.
This maintenance program is applicable to aircraft on a fleet wide basis regardless of the regulations
of the country in which aircraft is registered. Aircraft of Non-United States registry, consult the
regulatory authority for country of registry for requirements.
Time Limited Components, 05-04-00, Time Limited Components and Special Inspections, 05-05-00,
Inspection / Check requirements must be met as stated.
All components not specifically listed are on condition and are monitored during scheduled system
operational tests.
Aircraft operating in a tropical zone, high humidity area, marine environment or an area of high
industrial pollution should be inspected more frequently.
It is the operators responsibility to obtain / establish inspection requirements and time intervals for
equipment installed by operator or outfitting agency.
It is the operators responsibility to ensure all steps required to comply with nondestructive testing
(NDT) (i.e. Radiographic, Ultrasonic, Eddy current, Tap Test, etc.) of a NDT procedure are
accomplished by a trained and experienced NDT Inspector.
Inspection requirements for engine, navigation, communication, certain avionics equipment and APU
will be determined by the appropriate manufacturer unless explicitly noted otherwise.
On any aircraft with more than 2000 landings, whenever any portion of cockpit or cabin structure
(normally concealed behind equipment, furnishings or upholstery) is exposed by modification or
repair of said equipment, furnishings or upholstery, then exposed structure should be given a
thorough visual inspection for cracks, corrosion and loose fasteners. Effort should be made where
possible (by such measures as lifting edges of trim panels), to see structure as far around opened
area as practicable. The extent of inspection (defined by fuselage stations and stringer numbers) plus
aircraft flight hours and number of landings and results of inspection shall be recorded in aircraft
logbook.
NOTE:
This requirement may be waived if area has been opened up and inspected within the last
1000 landings.
Revisions to the original text are indicated by vertical lines in left margin of page, adjacent to revised
material.
Active customer bulletins are part of Gulfstreams recommended inspection program and are listed in
General, 05-06-00, Active Customer Bulletins Index of this chapter. Any customer bulletins released
after publication of this index are active and will be added to this index in next revision.
B. Terminology
Time In Service With respect to maintenance records, means the time from the moment an aircraft
leaves the surface of the earth until it touches it at the next point of landing.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Overhaul Remove component from aircraft and disassemble to allow proper checking of
clearances, dimensions and for evidence of corrosion, distortion and contamination.
Operational Test That procedure required to ascertain only that a system or unit is operable.
Functional Test That procedure required to ascertain that a system or unit is functioning in all
aspects in accordance with minimum acceptable system or unit design specifications. These tests
may require supplemental ground support equipment and should be more specific and detailed than
an operational test.
Hard Time (HT) This concept qualifies the type of component maintenance which imposes fixed
limits for component removal.
On Condition (OC) This is a preventive primary maintenance process. It requires that an appliance
or part be periodically inspected or checked against some appropriate physical standard to determine
whether it can continue in service. The purpose of the standard is to remove the unit from service
before failing during normal operation.
Condition Monitoring (CM) This is a maintenance process for items that have neither Hard Time
(HT) nor On Condition (OC) maintenance as their primary maintenance process. Condition
Monitoring is accomplished by appropriate means available to an operator for finding and solving
problem areas.
Scrap End of useful life.
Inspection / Check Visual inspection required to ascertain serviceability of a part, assembly
system, specific interrelationship of parts that perform a functional operation, etc.
Service Servicing operation including cleaning, lubrication and condition of a component or
equipment.
Hydrostatic Testing That procedure which tests vessels containing fluids under pressure.
Calendar Month Indicates inspection may be accomplished any day of the month that it is due in.
NOTE:
For the purposes of tracking maintenance requirements in the Gulfstream Aircraft
Maintainence Manual (AMM), the terms cycles and landings are equivalent.
C. Section Breakdown
SECTION 05-01-00 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKS
This section contains all programmed maintenance operations and frequencies to be carried out on
aircraft.
Newly issued requirements and changes to existing requirements become effective as defined by the
new / changed information following its receipt. Action is to be accomplished at the earliest
convenient time when maintenance is being accomplished in the same area or no later than the next
interval following publication date or receipt of revision.
New aircraft in outfitting centers may use the following guidelines for inspection requirements:
Flight hours and landings will remain accumulative from initial logbook entries.
Calendar time compliance may be adjusted to begin on the date out of outfitting. Exceptions are
Wing Tank Interior - Inspection, 72 month structural inspection and corrosion inspections which
start at date of manufacture. Date of manufacture is date aircraft rolls off production line.
Upon outfitting completion, see Activation of Aircraft from Storage, 10-00-00, Servicing.
The recommended maintenance operations to be performed on aircraft are listed in tabular form as
follows:

E. Hydrostatic Testing of Bottles Charts and Notes
NOTE:
Hydrostatic test and service life requirements of the following bottles are defined by FAA
Order 8300.10 02-01A Handbook Bulletin for Airworthiness (HBAW) dated 04 September
2002. All cylinders / spheres used as aircraft equipment must be maintained as follows:
DOT specification cylinders including spheres must be inspected and tested as
required by Title 49 CFR, Part 180, Section 180.205
Cylinders including spheres manufactured under an exemption issued by RSPA must
be inspected and tested as required by the terms of the exemption.
All other cylinders including spheres must be inspected and tested as required by Title
49 CFR, Part 180, Section 180.205 as it applies to DOT 3HT cylinders, unless
alternative testing and inspection procedures are specified by the manufacturer or
referenced authority.
Operators with heavy maintenance checks that are accomplished in phases or
segments are required to have a procedure in place to check cylinders during that
phase or segment of their heavy maintenance checks in which maintenance of high
pressure cylinders would normally occur.
See FAA Order 8300.10 02-01A (HBAW) for additional information.
