Western Aircraft recently completed its 100th C-inspection on a Dassault Falcon, the largest scheduled maintenance event on these business jet types. The Boise, Idaho-based MRO provider became a designated heavy jet service center in 2001, allowing it to perform C-inspections as an authorized Falcon service center. Since that time, Western Aircraft has completed C-inspections on an array of Falcons, including variants of the Models 50, 2000, 900, and 7X.

“Our team of factory-trained technicians understands these aircraft inside and out, and that’s why the majority of Falcon operators in the Western U.S. and Canada use our service center when they need a big inspection completed,” said Western Aircraft director of aircraft services Jody Harris. He added that the majority of the C-inspections her company completes are combined with interior refurbishments and/or avionics upgrades.

In addition to its maintenance authorization, Western Aircraft is also an authorized service center for Pratt & Whitney Canada and Honeywell engines and Rockwell Collins, Honeywell, and Gogo avionics.
