The design change effected by this document is FAA approved. If a compliance time, inspection interval or process requires FAA approval; such approval will be noted by the affected words appearing with an asterisk or note designating FAA approval. The design of this Aircraft Service Change (ASC) is approved by aircraft type design data for installation on aircraft registered for operation in accordance with applicable regulations of the United States Federal Aviation Administration. Individual approval should be obtained from the appropriate airworthiness agency prior to installation on aircraft registered outside the United States. The design of an ASC is configured to a standard ( greenie ) production aircraft. If spare wires, pin connections or locations called out have been used for another modification, the installing agency must ensure the development, documentation and approval of any required deviations. The following instructions, in step-by-step form, are written as a guide to perform this ASC. Compliance with safe maintenance practices as recommended in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual and FAA regulations is required. Gulfstream considers this ASC a means to enhance aircraft capabilities to meet individual operator requirements. The modification is not related to any safety or airworthiness condition. Subject: Purpose/Discussion: Description/Man-Hours Required Per Aircraft: Prerequisites: Approved Engineering Data: Placards and Markings (ATA11) - Maximum Zero Fuel Gross Weight - 48,000 Pounds Placard Installation This service change limits the Maximum Zero Fuel Gross Weight of the Aircraft from 49,000 lbs. to 48,000 lbs. This change precludes an operator with a Basic Operating Weight of less than 43,001 lbs. from being required to operate the aircraft under the rules and regulations of Part 125. Anytime the payload capability of an airplane is 6,000 lbs. or greater, the operator could be required to either operate under Part 125 or request a waiver to operate under Part 91. This ASC was designed to eliminate an operator s responsibility of having to comply with either of the two options and thus avoid any unnecessary regulatory steps. This service change installs a holder and placard in the cockpit. The installation will require approximately 1 man-hour to incorporate.
