SERVICING — MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1. Lubrication
A. Lubrication Schedule
(1) For methods of application and types of lubricants to be used when lubricating Gulfstream IV,
see Table 201.
NOTE: For approved lubricating oils, see GIV Lubricating Oils, 12-00-00, System
Description.
(2) The following contains special notes on lubrication:
CAUTION: SYNTHETIC COMPOUNDS SUCH AS THOSE FOUND IN AIRCRAFT OILS
AND GREASES CONTAIN ELEMENTS WHICH CAN SOFTEN PAINT,
NATURAL RUBBER NEOPRENE AND SOME ELECTRICAL INSULATORS. IF
THIS TYPE LUBRICANT IS SPILLED ON ANY OF THESE MATERIALS, WIPE
IT OFF THOROUGHLY WITH A CLEAN CLOTH.
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPE GREASES. IF PREVIOUSLY USED GREASE
IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE, COMPLETELY CLEAN AND RELUBE UNIT
WITH ANOTHER AUTHORIZED GREASE.
NOTE: Specialized lubrication requirements of instruments, electronic equipment and
engine accessories are not covered in lubrication chart.
(a) All exposed lubrication points must be serviced immediately after aircraft is washed.
(b) Remove all foreign matter from joints, fittings or bearing surfaces immediately before
application of lubricant. Use a clean cloth saturated with a cleaning solvent. Apply
lubricant sparingly to prevent accumulation of contaminants. When applying lubricants
through pressure type fittings, ensure that lubricant has come out around bushings or
bearing. Wipe off excess.
NOTE: When performing area inspections, check for painted over fittings. Remove all
paint from fitting and ensure fitting will accept recommended lubricant.
Replace fittings that will not accept lubricant.
(c) Control system bearings used in this aircraft are sealed and do not require lubrication,
except as noted in this lubrication schedule. Keep all control system bearings wiped
clean.
(d) Wipe exposed shock strut piston surfaces with clean cloth moistened with hydraulic
fluid (MIL-H-5606 or MIL-H-83282B).
(e) Wipe all exposed hydraulic actuator piston surfaces with a clean cloth moistened with
Phosphate Ester type hydraulic fluid.
(f) Use special fitting adapter to lubricate rod end bearings with flush lubricator fittings
(part No. MS24203-1 or equivalent).
NOTE: When using a pressure gun with flush adapter, it must be held perpendicular
to surface of fitting.
(g) Lubricate door hinges and latches with fluid (MIL-L-7870). Wipe off all excess as dirt
and grit will accumulate on and cause undue wear.
(h) Flaked or powdered graphite must not be used as a dry lubricant in this aircraft
because of inherent corrosion problem involved. Preferred lubricant is Molybdenum
Disulfide grease (NS-5806-G).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

NOTE: Molybdenum Disulfide (MOS2) comes as both a powder (MIL-M-7866) and a

grease (NS-5806-G). Powdered form should not be used in field since it does
not give adequate corrosion protection. Baked on dry film lubricants of
Molybdenum Disulfide have proved satisfactory, but this requires special
processing and results in lubricant being bonded to material. Mixtures of this
powder with oils or greases should not be done in field applications where
performance data have not been established. For field application, use
Molybdenum Disulfide grease (NS-5806-G) for a good corrosion protection.
(i) Lubricate pedestal landing gear control valve stem (area routed through fitting) with
MIL-S-8660.
(j) MIL-H-5606 (red fluid) or MIL-H-83282B (red fluid) is used only in landing gear struts
and should never be mixed with Phosphate Ester fluids.
(k) Oil can for felt wipers will need to be modified to incorporate flush type nozzle adapter
(part No. MS24203-1 or equivalent).
(l) Lubricate rudder bungee (part No. 1159C20350-7 with MIL-PRF-16173, Grade 3 or
MIL-PRF-81309, Type 3) at time interval specified in Scheduled Maintenance Checks,
05-01-00, Scheduled Maintenance Checks.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(1)
MIL-PRF-81322 may be used in place of MIL-PRF-23827, Type II. If aircraft is operated in extremely cold climates, we recommend that
MIL-PRF-23827, Type II, low / high temperature grease be used. This grease has lower temperature range (-100°F to +250°F) (-73°C to
+121°C) than MIL-PRF-81322 (-65°F to +350°F) (-53°C to +177°C).

2. Aircraft Washing
A. General
Pressure washing of aircraft is not recommended due to adverse effects on aircraft components.
High velocity water and cleaning agents can force dirt, contamination and moisture into bearings,
bushed joints, actuator seals, electrical components, faying surfaces and structural joints resulting
in increased maintenance costs and unserviceability.

(5) Record all maintenance actions in accordance with current governing authority.
3. Aircraft — Deicing / Anti-icing
A. General
(1) General Maintenance Procedures
This section provides maintenance procedures to ensure safe operation during icing
conditions. Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) prohibit takeoff when snow, ice or frost is
adhering to wings, control surfaces and other critical surfaces. This section will provide basic
maintenance guidelines and precautions in regards to snow removal, ice / frost removal,
deicing and anti-icing. This section will not provide pilots responsibility for deicing and anti-
icing. Refer to Gulfstream IV Aircraft Operating Manual. Additional deicing information can be
reviewed in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Holdover Time (HOT) tables and the FAA
Advisory Circulars AC 120-58 and AC 20-117.
It is the operator’s ultimate responsibility to ensure aircraft is properly deiced and in condition
for safe flight in accordance with these guidelines, Gulfstream IV Aircraft Operating Manual,
FAA HOT tables and FAA Advisory Circulars AC 120-58 and AC 20-117 (or equivalent
documents) issued by the certifying agency of which aircraft is certificated.
Deicing / anti-icing methods include mechanical means, spraying of deicing fluids or
combination of both methods. Mechanical means include heated air, brooms, brushes,
squeegees or nylon ropes. Deicing fluids may be used hot or cold. There are four types of
deicing fluids which are referred to as Freezing Point Depressant (FPD) fluids. Society of
Automotive Engineers (SAE) or International Standards Organization (ISO) Type l fluids are
generally used in North America. The SAE / ISO Type ll, Type III and Type IV fluids, also
referred to as Association of European Airlines (AEA), are generally used in Europe, but have
become the standard in North America. The FPD fluid manufacturers provide recommended
dilution mixture based on Outside Air Temperature (OAT) and precipitation conditions.
United States (U.S.) Military deicing fluids are unrelated to SAE and ISO Type l and Type ll
fluids. The U.S. Department of Defense has issued military specifications for anti-icing and
deicing / defrosting fluids that specify the following types and use of FPDs:
• MIL-A-8243C Type l standard

12-00-00

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

• MIL-A-8243C Type ll standard with inhibitor

• MIL-A-8243D Type l (propylene glycol base)
• MIL-A-8243D Type ll (ethylene and propylene glycol mix)
The following list is the only approved Type III and Type IV deicing fluids for use on
Gulfstream aircraft:
• Clariant Produkte - Safewing MPIII 2031 ECO (Type III)
• ABAX Industries - AD-480 (Type IV)
• Clariant Produkte - Safewing MP IV 2001 (Type IV)

• Octagon Process - MaxFlo (Type IV)
All FAA approved Type I and Type II deicing fluids can be used on Gulfstream aircraft.
B. Preparation
(1) References
• Gulfstream IV Aircraft Operating Manual, 07-01-10 Ground Deicing / Anti-Icing
Procedures
• FAA Advisory Circulars AC 120-58 and AC 20-117
• FAA HOT Table Guidelines for Winter 2008-2009
(2) General Conditions and Precautions
CAUTION: DO NOT MOVE AIRCRAFT WITH HEAVY ACCUMULATION OF SNOW OR
ICE.
(a) All covers and plugs should be installed prior to beginning of snow and ice conditions.
(b) Gulfstream IV Aircraft Operating Manual provides information regarding deicing fluids
solution, anti-icing fluid and time frames for application. Consult with pilot in command
on type of deicing / anti-icing required prior to applying deicing procedures.
(c) Deicing fluids are flammable.
(d) Ingestion of deicing fluid into operating engines or APU can cause smoke and / or
vapors to enter cabin areas. Uncontrolled ingestion of deicing fluids is a potential fire
hazard.
(e) Deicing fluids solidify if subjected to extreme cold. Components, normally trouble free,
could freeze.
(f) Major snow and ice removal is accomplished through mechanical means or using
heated dry air.
(g) Never spray anti-icing fluid, deicing fluid or water on or into any air inlet or exhaust area,
open tubes or ports (i.e. pitot tubes, static ports, vents, cabin air, engines / APU, etc.).
Never spray deicing fluids against trailing edge of wings or control surfaces.
(h) Chock deicing truck and maintain a 10 foot separation between deicing truck and
aircraft.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(i) Deicing fluid solutions are applied to remove residual snow and ice. Fluid
manufacturers provide general guidelines for fluid application. See Figure 201 and
Figure 202 for typical applications.
(3) Equipment and Material
(a) Cotton or nylon rope approximately 100 feet x 1 inch diameter.
(b) Isopropyl alcohol TT-I-735A.
(c) Deicing / Anti-icing fluids MIL-A-8243, SAE or ISO fluids (Type I or Type II).
(d) Long handled brushes or brooms with soft bristle (heavy duty).
(e) Long handled squeegees.
(f) Personal protection equipment (i.e gloves, goggles, face shield, rubberized suit).
(g) Pressurized deicing fluid storage / dispensing equipment.
(4) Personnel Protection
WARNING: PARTICULAR CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID SPLASHING OF
FLUIDS ON THE SKIN.
(a) Anti-icing and deicing fluids generally contain ethylene and propylene glycol. Ethylene
and propylene glycol are considered toxic if taken orally.
(b) Eyes are moderately irritated by deicing fluids. If fluid enters eyes, wash with clean
running water. Use eye and face protection (i.e. full face shield) during deicing / anti-
icing operation.
(c) Personnel must wear suitable (rubberized) protection clothing and insulated gloves.
(d) Operator should position themselves to spray in direction where mist will not drift
towards them.
(e) If glycol spraying is performed indoors, area must be well ventilated.
C. Procedure
WARNING: FLUIDS IMPROPERLY USED CAN CAUSE UNDESIRABLE AND POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS CHANGE IN AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE, STABILITY AND
CONTROL.
(1) Deicing / anti-icing may be accomplished using either one step or two step process. Deicing
/ anti-icing fluid application is as follows:
NOTE: Standard practice is to deice and if required, anti-ice before takeoff.
(a) One step process is application of heated, diluted deicing / anti-icing fluid, both to
remove frost, snow and / or ice and provide very limited anti-icing protection.
This protection can be enhanced by use of cold fluids or by use of techniques to cool
heated fluid during deicing process. A technique commonly used is spraying final coat
of deicing fluid using very fine mist in arched trajectory to cool fluid before contact. This
produces thicker fluid film to enhance anti-icing effectiveness.
Care must be exercised when using this technique to ensure freezing has not occurred
within fluid previously applied. See Figure 201 and Figure 202.
(b) Two step process involves both deicing and anti-icing.

12-00-00

Title Page Prev Page Next Page TOC Submit PCR

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

First step (deicing step) is accomplished by using hot water or hot mixture of FPD and
water. Ambient weather conditions and type of accumulation to be removed must be
considered in determining which deicing fluid to use.
Second step (anti-icing step) involves applying full strength Type I or stronger mixture of
SAE or ISO Type II and water at cooler temperatures than Step 3.C.(1)(a) to critical
surfaces. If heated water alone is used in deicing process, second step must be
accomplished before refreezing occurs generally within 3 minutes after beginning of
deicing step. If necessary, this process is conducted area by area to prevent refreezing.
See Figure 203.
(2) Snow Removal Procedure
(a) Precautions
1 Observe all general conditions and precautions provided in Aircraft Deicing / Anti-
icing Procedure, General Conditions and Precautions section.
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED
DURING SNOW REMOVAL.
DO NOT MOVE AIRCRAFT WITH HEAVY ACCUMULATION OF
SNOW OR ICE.
2 Personnel sweeping snow from wings or stabilizer should work from support
stands placed near aircraft. If required to be on aircraft, use safety harnesses as
necessary to board aircraft surfaces. Rubber or fabric foot wear must be worn to
aid in preventing personnel from slipping and sliding off support stands or aircraft
surfaces.
3 Do not use isopropyl alcohol on rubber or plastic components. Use only approved
solution for snow and ice removal / cleaning.
4 Do not use isopropyl alcohol on windows or above window line on fuselage.
Alcohol causes crazing and cracking of acrylic windows.
5 Do not move aircraft with heavy accumulation of snow or ice. If access to rear
cabin is necessary, it is advisable to position tail support stand under aft fuselage.
6 Remove all snow accumulations on fuselage forward of windshield. Snow may
blow back and restrict pilots visibility. Avoid damage to pitot tubes.
7 Avoid damaging antennas, static wicks, vortex generators and other
protuberances when cleaning upper surfaces of fuselage and stabilizers.
8 Avoid damage to wing or empennage control surfaces with implements used for
snow removal. Do not use tools to scrape, scratch or chip snow or ice from
surfaces or from between fixed and movable surfaces or components. Do not
loosen snow by striking aircraft surfaces or damage may result.
9 Avoid using deicing solution for snow removal. Dilution of deicing solutions with
melted snow will result in weak mixture refreezing and creating icing condition
more difficult to remedy.
10 Avoid excessive deicing fluid flow to prevent further accumulation on wings and
control surfaces when use of deicing solutions is justified for removal of snow or
ice. Use special care to prevent flushing of slush into areas forward of control
surfaces.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

11 Avoid temperatures in excess of 200°F (93.3°C) when heating surfaces or

components.
12 Use care not to direct high pressure air on honeycomb surfaces.
13 Apply externally ducted heat carefully to window areas. High temperatures on
cold windows will crack or craze windows.
14 In applications of heat for deicing purposes, care must be exercised to avoid
overheat damage to painted surfaces, rubber, hoses, acrylic or fiberglass in
landing gear and wheel well area.
15 Remove heat source immediately after surfaces are dry and mechanisms are
functioning normally.
16 When using heated air for snow removal or general warm-up, exercise care not
to overheat structure or components.
(b) Technique
1 Immediately following snow fall, aircraft should be cleaned to prevent melting
snow from freezing to surface and interior areas into which water may flow.
2 Before heating cabin, ensure as much snow as possible has been removed from
upper fuselage.
3 Remove as much snow as possible with soft bristle brushes and brooms. When
cleaning wings and horizontal stabilizer surfaces, sweep maximum amount of
snow possible over leading edge and tips. Avoid sweeping snow over control
surfaces or trailing edge. Use care when cleaning around static wicks and vortex
generators.
4 Snow accumulations can be removed from fuselage and upper wing surfaces by
working a length of cotton rope back and forth over surface. Use extreme caution
that antennas, pitot tubes, vortex generators, winglets and static wicks are not
damaged. Always pull snow accumulation over wing leading edge and not over
control leading edges.
5 Clean engine cowls, pylons and cowling openings free of accumulations. Clean
engine and APU inlet and exhaust openings free of accumulations.
6 When using heated air, continue heat application until surface or area is
completely dry.
7 Use dry cool compressed air for light, dry snow removal. Direct cool airstream
away from openings to prevent packing snow in openings.
NOTE: Check that all drain holes are open and drain freely.
A heating source providing large volume of warm, dry low pressure air is
more effective than small volume of hot high pressure air and can be
used with less danger of overheating.
CAUTION: CHECK ALL PRIMARY SURFACES BY HAND MOVEMENT
THROUGH FULL TRAVEL, STOP TO STOP, BEFORE ANY
MOVEMENT IS ATTEMPTED BY FLIGHT COMPARTMENT
CONTROLS. TRIM AND CONTROL TABS SHOULD BE
OPERATED THROUGH FULL RANGE.
8 After completion of snow removal, a complete operational check of primary and

secondary flight controls is mandatory. Ensure engine controls and Angle Of

Attack (AOA) probes operate freely.
9 Ensure passenger and service doorjamb areas are clean and dry. Ensure door
seals are dry.
(3) Ice / Frost Removal Procedure
(a) Precautions
1 Observe general conditions and precautions provided in Aircraft Deicing / Anti-
icing Procedure, General Conditions and Precautions section.
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED
DURING ICE REMOVAL PROCEDURE.
DO NOT MOVE AIRCRAFT WITH HEAVY ACCUMULATION OF
SNOW OR ICE.
2 Do not use tools to scrape, scratch or chip ice from surfaces or from between
fixed and movable surfaces and / or components. Do not loosen ice by striking
aircraft surfaces or damage may result.
3 If snow, slush or ice accumulations are on areas forward of control surfaces,
clean and dry areas and all control components completely prior to dispatch.
4 Do not move aircraft with heavy accumulation of snow or ice. If access to rear
cabin is necessary, it is advisable to position tail support stand under aft fuselage.
5 Do not use isopropyl alcohol on windows or above window line on fuselage.
Alcohol causes crazing and cracking of acrylic windows.
6 Avoid heated air temperatures in excess of 200°F (93.3°C) when heating
surfaces.
7 Apply externally ducted heated air carefully around windows. High temperatures
on cold windows will crack or craze windows.
8 In applications of heated air, care must be exercised to avoid overheat damage to
painted surfaces, rubber, hoses, acrylic, fiberglass, composite material or
components.
9 Remove heated air source immediately after surfaces are dry and mechanisms
are functioning normally.
(b) Technique
1 Aircraft must be inspected thoroughly for iced surfaces, frozen controls /
mechanisms, plugged orifices, frozen landing gear components and ice or snow
clogged air inlet and outlet ports. Engine / APU inlets and exhaust areas must be
checked for ice before engine start.
2 Remove ice from fuselage areas by application of externally ducted heated air to
affected area from large capacity heater units.
NOTE: A heat source providing large volume of warm, dry air is more effective
than small volume of hot air and can be used with less danger of
overheating.
3 Ice and frost formations can be removed from wings and empennage surfaces by
spray application of heated deicing solution. Loosened ice should be swept from

12-00-00

Title Page Prev Page Next Page TOC Submit PCR

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

surfaces immediately. Avoid damage to vortex generators. Residual water should

be dried to prevent refreezing.
4 Underwing frost may form between forward and aft wing spars following
extended high altitude flight. Wing frosting occurs at ambient temperatures above
freezing and may be forerunner of clear ice formation on upper wing. Frost can
be melted by refueling with warmer fuel. Removal of underwing frost in excess of
1/8 inch thickness and all frost on leading edges and upper surfaces is
recommended. Depending on atmospheric conditions, it is recommended wings
be anti-iced before takeoff.
5 Ice formation on wings, empennage, landing gear or in wheel well areas can be
removed by heat from large capacity heater unit.
NOTE: Spraying anti-icing solution on wheels and brakes when slush
conditions are encountered will retard ice formation and reduce further
ice buildup.
CAUTION: AFTER DEICING WINGS AND EMPENNAGE, CHECK FLAP
WELLS FOR SLUSH AND / OR ICE ACCUMULATIONS. ENSURE
THAT ALL DRAIN HOLES ARE OPEN.
6 Ice formation in control areas forward of control surface can be removed by
spraying heated deicing solution.
7 Ice formation in control areas can be removed by using warm air until ice is
melted and area is dry. Ensure that drain holes are open.
8 Ice formation in engine, APU inlet and exhaust openings can be removed by heat
from large capacity heater unit directed into engine / APU. Engine / APU should
be started as soon as rotation is made possible.
CAUTION: CHECK ALL PRIMARY SURFACES BY HAND MOVEMENT
THROUGHOUT FULL TRAVEL, STOP TO STOP, BEFORE ANY
MOVEMENT IS ATTEMPTED BY FLIGHT COMPARTMENT
CONTROLS. TRIM AND CONTROL TABS SHOULD BE
OPERATED THROUGHOUT FULL RANGE.
9 After completion of ice removal, a complete operational check of flight controls is
mandatory. Ensure engine controls and AOA probes operate freely.
10 Ensure passenger and service doorjamb areas are clean and dry. Ensure door
seals are dry.
(4) Aircraft Deicing Procedure
NOTE: Deicing refers to removal of snow, ice, slush, etc. already accumulated on aircraft.
(a) Precautions
1 Observe general conditions and precautions provided in Aircraft Deicing / Anti-
icing Procedure, General Conditions and Precautions section.
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED
DURING DEICING PROCEDURE.
DO NOT MOVE AIRCRAFT WITH HEAVY ACCUMULATION OF
SNOW OR ICE.
2 Fluids improperly used can cause an undesirable and potentially dangerous

12-00-00

Title Page Prev Page Next Page TOC Submit PCR

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

change in aircraft performance, stability and control.

3 Undiluted premix (NEAT) Type II, Type III or Type IV FPD fluid is not
recommended for use on Gulfstream aircraft.
4 Avoid excessive pressure (300 psi or greater) when applying fluid. Pressure
should be adjusted to be able to traverse distance from nozzle to aircraft without
damaging paint or structure.
5 When operating fluid dispensing equipment for deicing, extreme care must be
exercised in operating truck around aircraft. As a safety precaution, a 10 foot
separation between truck and aircraft should be maintained.
6 Never spray deicing fluid or water on or into any air inlet or exhaust area, open
tubes or ports (i.e., pitot tubes, static ports, total air temperature probe, AOA
probes, vents, engine, APU, etc.). Never spray against trailing edge of wings or
control surfaces.
(b) Technique
1 For optimum deicing, requirement is an even film of deicing fluid to be applied on
all surfaces. Type I or Type II fluids should be applied as specified by
manufacturer recommendations or Figure 201 and Figure 202. Economical
results are obtained by starting on highest part of fuselage, wings, etc. and
covering evenly from there toward lower sections.
NOTE: Reapplication of anti-icing fluid must be accomplished in accordance
with Figure 203.
2 Close doors and windows. Install covers and plugs as necessary.
3 Keep fluid clear from the following items by avoiding direct spraying on or into:
• Engine / APU inlet / exhaust openings
• Air intakes / outlets
• Fuel tank vents
• Pitot / static head or ports
• AOA probes
• Total air temperature probe
• Vortex generators
• Static wicks
4 Remove heavy accumulations of snow or ice.
5 Aircraft must be sprayed symmetrically, both wings and tail must be treated and
not one side only.
6 If nose of aircraft has been deiced, it must be wiped down with isopropyl alcohol
to ensure no fluid runs back on windshield.
7 Closely inspect and clean areas on and under wiper blades.
8 A fine mist of deicing solution repeated two or three times over affected area is
more effective than a solid stream.
9 Apply deicing fluid to lower surface of ailerons, horizontal stabilizer, elevator and
landing gear when wet snow conditions exist or when aircraft will operate on
slushy taxiways or runways.
10 The following surfaces and areas require special attention during deicing:

12-00-00

Title Page Prev Page Next Page TOC Submit PCR

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

a Horizontal stabilizer / elevator - Ensure that runoff of fluids is away from

elevator balance bay. This prevents melted snow / ice from accumulating in
area and refreezing in flight. If possible, place elevator trailing edge down.
b Vertical stabilizer / rudder - Leading edge as well as side panels and rudder
should be cleaned of snow / ice accumulation. Gap between rudder and
stabilizer should be free of snow / ice accumulation.
CAUTION: IF APU IS RUNNING DURING SPRAYING OF DEICING
FLUIDS, TURN APU AIR OFF.
DO NOT SPRAY INTO APU OR RAM AIR INLETS.
c Fuselage - Ensure APU air and ram air inlets are free of accumulations.
Avoid spraying heated fluids directly onto cabin and cockpit windows.
Ensure radome area is clean.
d Wings - Clean from tip to root. Ensure runoff is away from aileron balance
bay area to prevent accumulation of melted snow / ice in area. Ensure
leading edge is free of ice. Conduct hands on inspection to verify leading
edge, upper and lower surfaces and winglets are clean. If possible, place
aileron trailing edge down during deicing procedure.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE DEICING FLUID ON ENGINE / COWLING.
ONCE DEICED, ENGINE SHOULD BE STARTED
IMMEDIATELY AND COWL ANTI-ICE ACTIVATED TO
PRECLUDE ICING RECURRENCE.
e Engine - Snow / ice removal from inlet, exhaust and cowling should be
accomplished using mechanical means (heated air). Check first stage fan
blades for freedom of movement. If LP fan does not rotate freely or is iced
over, hot air is recommended to deice engine. Do not spray deicing fluid on
cowling.
f Landing gear - Tires, wheels, brakes, steering unit, struts, doors,
mechanisms and uplocks should be free of snow and ice.
g Doors - Main door and baggage compartment door seals, hinges and track
should be free of snow / ice. Ensure seals are dry and doors operate
properly to prevent refreezing in flight.
CAUTION: CHECK ALL PRIMARY SURFACES BY HAND MOVEMENT
THROUGHOUT FULL TRAVEL, STOP TO STOP, BEFORE ANY
MOVEMENT IS ATTEMPTED BY FLIGHT COMPARTMENT
CONTROLS. TRIM AND CONTROL TABS SHOULD BE
OPERATED THROUGHOUT FULL RANGE.
11 After completion of deicing, a complete operational check of flight controls is
mandatory. Ensure engine controls and AOA probes operate freely.
12 Ensure passenger / service doorjamb areas are clean and dry. Ensure door seals
are dry.
13 Refer to Gulfstream IV Aircraft Operating Manual for deicing inspection checklist.

(a) Precautions
1 Observe general conditions and precautions provided in Aircraft Deicing / Anti-
icing Procedure, General Conditions and Precautions section.
CAUTION: THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED
DURING ANTI-ICING PROCEDURE.
2 It is not recommended to use diluted deicing fluid for snow removal. Melting snow
will further dilute solution and refreezing will take place.
3 Fluids improperly used can cause undesirable and potentially dangerous change
in aircraft performance, stability and control.
4 Undiluted premix (NEAT) Type II, Type III or Type IV FPD fluid is not
recommended for use on Gulfstream aircraft.
5 Avoid excessive pressure, 300 psi or greater, when applying fluid. Pressure
should be adjusted to be able to traverse distance from nozzle to aircraft without
damaging paint or structure.
6 When operating fluid dispensing equipment for anti-icing, extreme care must be
exercised in operating truck around aircraft. As a safety precaution, a 10 foot
separation between truck and aircraft must be maintained.
7 Never spray anti-icing fluid on or into any air inlet or exhaust area, open tubes or
ports (i.e., pitot tubes, static ports, total air temperature probe, AOA probes,
vents, engine / APU, etc.). Never spray against trailing edge of wings or control
surfaces.
(b) Technique
1 For optimum anti-icing, requirement is an even film of anti-icing fluid to be applied
on all surfaces. Type I or Type II fluids should be applied as specified by
manufacturer recommendations or Figure 201 and Figure 202. Economical
results are obtained by starting on highest part of fuselage, wings, etc. and
covering evenly from there toward lower sections.
2 Correct amount of fluid has been applied when fluid just starts to run off.
3 Close doors and windows. Install covers and plugs as required.
4 Keep fluid clear from the following items by avoiding direct spraying on or into:
• Engine, APU inlet and exhaust openings
• Air intakes and outlets
• Fuel tank vents
• Pitot / static head or ports
• AOA probes
• Total air temperature probe
• Vortex generators
5 Aircraft must be sprayed symmetrically, both wings and tail must be treated and
not one side only.
6 If nose of aircraft has been anti-iced, it must be wiped down to ensure no fluid
runs back on windshield. Closely inspect and clean areas on and under wiper
blades.
7 If fluid cannot be applied before onset of light frost, anti-icing solution can still be

applied and produce expected results.

8 Heavy frozen deposits shall be removed by deicing procedure, followed by
application of cold anti-icing solution.
9 Concentrated anti-icing fluid, applied prior to onset of frosting condition, may
provide protection against formation of frost for only 30 minutes to 1 hour or an
even shorter duration depending on frost intensity.
10 Complete protection may be possible all night depending on weather conditions.
Under prolonged frosting conditions, it may only be necessary to deice leading
edges of wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers.
CAUTION: CHECK ALL PRIMARY SURFACES BY HAND MOVEMENT
THROUGHOUT FULL TRAVEL, STOP TO STOP, BEFORE ANY
MOVEMENT IS ATTEMPTED BY FLIGHT COMPARTMENT
CONTROLS. TRIM AND CONTROL TABS SHOULD BE
OPERATED THROUGHOUT FULL RANGE.
11 After completion of anti-icing, a complete operational check of flight controls is
mandatory. Ensure engine controls and AOA probes operate freely.
12 Ensure passenger and service doorjamb areas are clean and dry. Ensure door
seals are dry.
13 Refer to Gulfstream IV Aircraft Operating Manual for deicing inspection checklist.
D. Follow On
(1) Inspect for presence of foreign objects.
(2) Record all maintenance actions in accordance with current governing authority.
