ExecuJet MRO Services Australia in Sydney is expanding its Falcon jet capabilities through more training of its personnel and new tools and equipment. The Dassault Aviation-owned MRO has been sending its staff for advanced technical training to sites in France and the U.S.

Examples of the new equipment and training include learning how to check wear tolerances on horizontal stabilizer rear hinge bushings using a Subito bore gauge. Also, the MRO is bolstering its non-destructive testing to include ultrasonic inspection of the horizontal stabilizer, which is “a task we previously had to bring in specialists from Dassault to perform,” said Grant Ingall, v-p of ExecuJet Australia.

As a result, the MRO can perform these inspections on the Falcon 50, 900, 2000, 7X, and 8X. In 2020, the MRO was approved by Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority to perform line and heavy maintenance on those models.

“Investing in the specific tooling and training to perform these complex tasks in-country positions ExecuJet and Australia as a center of excellence for maintenance of Dassault aircraft,” Ingall added.
