Gulfstream GVII-G500

A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. The design is held under 1 type certificate (T00021AT, held by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation). The FAA has issued 12 airworthiness directives (orders that owners must comply with) that name this model, most of them about other and general. Operators and repair shops have filed 1 failure report with the FAA since 2026, 1 of them in the last ten years: about 0.4 a year for every 100 aircraft on the register; the system most often named is flight controls. 10 approved modifications exist for it, the most by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation.

Sources: the FAA's type certificate data sheets, airworthiness directives, supplemental type certificates, special conditions and special airworthiness information bulletins (Dynamic Regulatory System), and the FAA's service difficulty reports. A failure report is what an operator or repair station chose to file; the counts show reporting as much as reliability, and larger and commercial fleets report more. How the systems are grouped.
