Your Canadian Jet is now decertified.

..Is this some reactionary posting he'd put out after the midair last year?

That's the only copper wiring I can even guess is connected in his head, to post something like this and think he's being logical. Just when you think things can't get any dumber.

I hate all of this.

“The FAA declined immediate comment.”

I'll sure bet they did!

AFAIK, there are many Canadian-registered modern Gulfstreams, so disregarding the "illegal" claim, I don't really understand what they heck Rapist President is trying to chaff.

Apparently it related to an exemption that the FAA gave Gulfstream, but Transport Canada hasn’t or won’t.

I found another discussion about this and a related article.

FAA exempts G700 and G800 from fuel-icing certification rules

The Federal Aviation Administration has temporarily exempted Gulfstream's in-testing G700 and G800 business jets from certain fuel-icing airworthiness rules, seemingly bringing the company one step closer to achieving the jets' certification.

Well of course as anyone with a triple digit IQ has known for a decade, he doesn't give a toss about the average American, but this could discomfit a lot of people he does give a toss about (at least insofar as they have money and power). That said, $100 says he TACOs yet again, and all of his dim-witted apologists mark it up as yet more three-dimensional chess, even as the dollar craters and the bond markets start thinking in the longer-term about just how reasonable it is to react *not at all* to each increasingly frequent, increasingly ludicrous Edict. IMHO the weird equanimity of markets to Trump's let's just call it what it is: dementia on top of being a raging • has all of the indicators of being a Ponzi-type situation. That is, everyone is secretly sure that it's all going to come crashing down, but looking over their cards at the next guy, who is still holding. Maybe it'll all be fine? Maybe they know something I don't ("strategic ambiguity" aka "being a huge liar" being THE cornerstone of the Trump aesthetic).

Point being, when the first person folds, the poop-storm will Apocalyptic. Gold isn't hitting the ceiling for no reason.

Maybe, just maybe, if someone puts some codeine (or ricin) in his tapioca, we can eek it out until the midterms, but I doubt it.

Oh yeah, about those Epstein files...

wym he doesnt care? ummm, the executive order on showerheads? he received a MANDATE FROM THE VOTERS
 
:rolleyes: This reminds me of the Karen that claims she’ll “get this place shut down” because you didn’t get her elaborate Wendy’s order correct.

He’ll be fine (fine is arbitrary) by tomorrow. Some White House chef probably put too much pepper on his McRib.

On another note I wonder how long it’ll be before this gets moved to the Lav.

DARs around the country are finding themselves making logbook entries today.

"I certify this aircraft is no longer air worthy in accordance with social media post dated January 29, 2026 by The POTUS. For information please see http://wwww.tinyurl.com/."

Totally normal and logical behavior. It's the Art of The Deal in action bro, you just don't get it.

Meanwhile the entire world doesn't want to engage with us because of his unstable management style.
 
Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2023-2183

“ In accordance with 14 CFR Part 11, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation requests consideration to revise Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2023-2183, Exemption No. 21744, dated January 17, 2024 (Reference 1) originally issued to relieve the Gulfstream GVIII-G700 and GVIII-G800 model aircraft from full compliance with 14 CFR 25.951(c) at amendment 25-73, 25.952(a) at amendment 25-40, and 25.901(d), at amendment 25-126 for the fuel feed icing threat requirements for a period of 36 months following type certification. This revision to the exemption is being requested to align specific conditions and limitations with the Gulfstream aircraft.”

I am galled that Gulfsteeam requested an exemption from the rules, got a three-year exemption, and had the temerity to request a further change of terms afterwards, claiming a clerical error (regarding sumping the tanks daily vs every 10 days).

That is Boeing-tier shenanigans of wheedling the process.
 
The exemption, while not ideal and kind-of indicative of low quality engineering, is also just part of building a complex machine in a regulated environment.

The part that annoys me is the some-combination of sloppy execution combined with strategy to exploit the process and end-up with an even-more lenient relaxation of requirements than might have been approved with a one-and-done exemption.

A kind-of malice/incompetence situation, which is generally not something that should exist around a premium business jet manufacturer.

Even if their leadership laid-off a full quarter of employees around the time this was occurring.
