The Federal Aviation Administration has proposed a rule requiring operators of certain Gulfstream airplanes to update their maintenance programs. The affected models are the Gulfstream 200 and Galaxy, which were originally designed by Israel Aircraft Industries before Gulfstream acquired the type certificate.
Why it matters: This action ensures that aging airframes are inspected according to current safety standards rather than older ones. It is a routine regulatory update to keep aircraft in the U.S. fleet compliant with international safety findings, preventing potential structural failures caused by metal fatigue over time.
Who it affects
- Operators of 163 Gulfstream G200 and Galaxy airplanes registered in the United States
This is a proposed rule from the Federal Aviation Administration published in the Federal Register; you should check the full document at regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA-2026-4652 before relying on these details.
