Aero-Dienst Performs First of Three Falcon 7X C Checks

Aero-Dienst Nuremberg completed the first of three Dassault Falcon 7X C inspections for long-term customer Shell in September. The MRO provider involved its maintenance planning, design and modification and avionics departments in preparations three months before the arrival of the 7X. Aero-Dienst will complete a second 7X C inspection for Shell, and a third inspection is scheduled for an undisclosed 7X operator during the first half of next year.

During the inspection downtime, Aero-Dienst also completed cabin and cockpit overhauls and installed a quick access recorder, based on a new STC. Previously, the aircraft had work done to comply with a service bulletin on the fuel tank.

Florian Heinzelmann, the Dassault maintenance manager at Aero-Dienst, said that participating partners worked together to complete this inspection. “Basically, all three of the participating partners, Shell, Dassault and Aero-Dienst, benefit from the direct and open communication that is required to carry out this event successfully and to the customer’s full satisfaction.”
