Gulfstream G-II & G-III (C-20D): Aircraft Covers from Bruce's Custom Covers

Back to Top

Intake & Exhaust Covers are designed to install easily yet be completely storable. A spring steel hoop is sewn into the hem of each cover, allowing them to be installed more easily from the wing or stepladder. To store, the cover's the spring steel hoop folds like a band-saw blade into three nesting rings. Each cover folds into a compact circular bundle which is stored in the included duffle bag, yet they unfold quickly for use. The Tri-Fold Ring cover is made of medium weight nylon which is available in a variety of colors to match the paint trim. Each cover set comes complete with installation and folding instructions. The aircraft's registration number can be silkscreened onto the cover for an extra charge.

ENGINE COVERS ARE AVAILABLE IN A VARIETY OF COLORS: RED, ROYAL BLUE, NAVY BLUE, MAROON, GREEN, ORANGE, SILVER, SMOKE, & BLACK.

Intake covers install with 2 snaps installed in existing screw holes. The first is located on the underside of the support pylon, about 10" aft of the pylon's leading edge. The second is on the second outboard side engine cowling door latch assembly. These screws are removed and replaced with specially made snap-head machine screws. Parts and instructions are included with the cover set.

Exhaust Covers slide over the tail cone and cynch tight with a special tightening strap. No snaps or special attachments are required for installation.

Pitot Covers are made of durable Naugahyde. Each pitot cover slips tightly around the pitot base. They are attached to one another with a red streamer, while a second red streamer goes under the windshield wiper.

Non-burning Pitot Covers are designed to withstand more than 500° F., preventing damage to the pitot tube if the pitot heat is turned on while it is covered.

HeatShields are interior reflectors which are intended as temporary relief against heat buildup in the cockpit or cabin interior. The do keep the interior about as cool as exterior covers, but they can take longer to install and do nothing to protect the plexiglas or to prevent damage caused by leaks. Also, in aircraft equipped with laminated windshields, they may cause damage to those windshields because of excessive heat buildup near the glass.

Our HeatShield material is a special laminate of metallized polyester film, laminated to a thin sheet of closed-cell foam. It is thinner than bubble-pack type reflectors, and has extremely good reflective and insulating qualities.

Where an exterior cover is not considered practical by the operator, a HeatShield is often the best solution for cabin protection.
