Gulfstream has received both FAA and EASA approval on its software fix to remove operational restrictions on the G500 and G600 large-cabin jets, the company announced in a media briefing at its headquarters in Savannah, Georgia, on Tuesday. Jeannine Haas, chief marketing officer for Gulfstream, confirmed the first step in the morning: “Yesterday, the FAA certification was achieved for our flight control software update.”
The fix—which corrects an issue in the flight control system’s angle of attack limiting mode—had been signed off by the FAA on Monday, with validation approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on Tuesday afternoon.
