C&L Aerospace Tapped for Challenger Flutter Damper Mx

Héroux-Devtek—which manufactures the flutter dampers as installed on Bombardier CRJ and Challenger 604/605/650 jets—has named C&L Aerospace as a factory-authorized repair station for the units. 

With this authorization, Bangor, Maine-based C&L becomes the only maintenance provider approved to perform OEM-specified repair and testing using official parts, manuals, and full manufacturer engineering support. All repaired flutter dampers are released with FAA Form 8130-3 and EASA Dual Release as standard.

“C&L has demonstrated a strong track record in delivering reliable support to our customers, and this expanded authorization reflects the confidence we have built together,” said Marc-Olivier Gagnon, v-p of product support at Héroux-Devtek.

According to C&L, its FAA, EASA, UK CAA, and Transport Canada-approved component facility in Bangor—operating under ISO 9001:2015 and AS9110 registrations—repairs thousands of similar hydraulic and flight-control components each year, and its OEM-trained technicians, a large inventory of OEM piece parts, and an exchange pool support operators looking to minimize downtime and avoid AOG delays.

“This authorization reflects our long partnership with Héroux-Devtek and our investment in OEM-approved tooling, test equipment, and highly trained technicians,” said C&L Aviation Group CEO Chris Kilgour. “Operators can now count on faster turn times and the consistent quality that an OEM-supported program can deliver.”
