Bombardier Business Aircraft is now authorized to perform programming, annual inspections and battery replacement of ACR Electronics-manufactured Artex equipment at its five North American service centers. The approval applies to all Learjets, Challengers and Globals. More than 60 technicians hold the authorization. 

“We strive to be a total one-stop shop for our customers, and a big part of this means continuing to bring flexibility and diversity to our tip-to-tail OEM expertise," Bombardier Business Aircraft vice president of aircraft service centers Stan Younger told AIN. “By enabling our North American facilities to service Artex equipment, this authorization directly supports our commitment to offer our customers comprehensive capabilities, as well as our commitment to constantly raise the bar on safety.”

ACR Electronics manufactures emergency position indicating radio beacons, personal locator beacons, Artex emergency locator transmitters, search-and-rescue transponders, strobe lights, lifejacket lights and boat searchlights. ACR maintains FAA Part 145 repair station certification status.
