Austria’s Diamond Aircraft Industries and Flight Calibration Services (FCS) inked a firm order here at Farnborough for a DA62 light piston twin, one month after FCS took delivery of its first DA62. UK-based FCS provides airborne inspection, calibration and validation services for air navigation equipment. The company is growing at 30 percent annually, said company director Matt Taiyeb, and the DA62s “will help support this continued growth whilst reducing cost of operation and the impact of our operations on the environment,” he said. Diamond Aircraft CEO Christian Dries noted that for conducting such calibration work “reliability of aircraft and equipment is of essential importance.”
