The design change effected by this Aircraft Service Change (ASC) has been classified as Major/Not Significant by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The design change data contained in this document is approved and accepted by the FAA under Gulfstream Organization Delegation Authorization (ODA) project numbers: FAA Project Number TD-01-2009-0005 This ASC is not approved for installation on aircraft operating under European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) regulations at this time. The design of this ASC is approved by aircraft type design data for installation on aircraft registered for operation in accordance with applicable regulations of the FAA. The design of an ASC is configured to a standard ( green ) 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 defined in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual and FAA regulations, is required. It is the responsibility of the installing facility to read all instructions contained in this service change and refer to all associated documents, drawings and manuals for applicable actions. 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: Indicating / Recording (ATA 31) PlaneView Master Operating System Software Update This service change installs the PlaneView Master Operating System (MOS) software EB7031236-00416 on G450 aircraft. The new MOS provides the platform required for the installation and operation of the Data Link Recording function. This installation also includes changes to the AOA Static Source Error Correction (SSEC) algorithm called the washout filter. This washout filter was implemented to maintain stable and accurate indications of airspeed and altitude during high alpha maneuvers, especially during take-off rotation. This resolves the display of false miscompares during take-off which previously resulted in rejected take-offs. In addition, several G450 operators have reported low fuel tank temperature indications while flying missions within the approved flight envelope. As a result, the low fuel tank temperature indication limits have been adjusted to address the nuisance caution and warning indications. Page 1 of 8
