From: Lvjet Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2016 5:10 AM To: 'eevacation@ mail.com Cc: Subject: GIV update Jeffrey, I spoke to Gulfstream lead mechanic tonight, he informs that Engineering in Savanah will NOT allow extension or return to service due to the location of the corrosion in Wheel well area, Engineering is going to issue a repair scheme for this area and Gulfstream sheet metal shop will fabricate an aluminum angle in house in Palm Beach, rather than wait for Savanah to fabricate with a Jan 4th deliver time. the angle piece is apporx 14" long only. I will have official email from Savanah tomorrow morn (Wed). explaining their position. Here is the tentative plan of attack: Wed - Gulfstream PBI will remove the corroded pieces in Wheel Well, clean and measure the damage area, and provide to Savanah engineering. Wed - evening, Engineering will fabricate the repair drawing, and Gulfstream PBI will fabricate the angle. Thursday - obtain repair scheme Hopefully, and start to fabricate the angle, continue to remove the corroded area, grind and treat area. Friday - Saturday start to install, depending when Savanah issues the repair drawing. Sunday and Monday, skeleton crew on hand only, most likely, NOT their sheet metal specialist. ( I will push for work thru the weekend). Tuesday and Wed, finish the repair. My gutt tells me, Dec 27th Wednesday is best case scenario This is only My guess at this time,. I will have more accurate information and timeline tomorrow. I will fwd Gulfstream's official email when I receive tomorrow morn, sorry for this delay,. this was unexpected, it was a simple, Visual inspection of wheel Well area Due card. thank you, Larry 1 EFTA_R1_01915936 EFTA02665484
