Jet Aviation | Inside 54 Outlook 02/2008 Basel gears up to help Falcon customers Earlier this year Jet Aviation Basel took delivery of Europe’s only dummy landing gear for Dassault’s Falcon 50/900/2000 series aircraft. The Basel facility used the gear for the first time in July. Michael Sattler, senior vice president maintenance Basel, says, “our on-site engineers came up with the idea after several of our clients requested a new paint job at the same time as their 2C checks.” Ordinarily various jobs cannot be performed simultaneously, but because the dummy gear has wheels, engineers can Hawker 850 XP landing gear fitting repaired for the second time ever When a client of Jet Aviation Dusseldorf landed with its Hawker 850 XP in icy conditions early in the year, the aircraft almost slid off the landing strip. Shortly after the incident, the aircraft was flown back to Dusseldorf for inspection and repair. The right-hand flap assy as well as the wing fitting to the fuselage and airbrake needed to be replaced. At the same time the engine and landing gear were inspected and overhauled. During the inspection, the team of technicians discovered that the right-hand landing gear attachment fitting had been broken, probably caused by the forces during the landing. This was an extremely unusual procedure since the fitting is an integral part of the wing structure. One of the parts from the core of the wing structure needed to be rebuilt, a procedure only performed once before on a Hawker 850 XP aircraft. “Our most experienced Hawker specialists were assigned to this complex project and managed it successfully in four and a half months,” says Johannes Turzer, senior vice president and general manager Jet Aviation Dusseldorf. move the jet around, allowing them access to the aircraft and moving it in and out of hangars. Sattler adds, “Jet Aviation Basel is the only facility in Europe that has a dummy gear for the Falcon product line. With it, there is less down time, as we can perform several tasks at once, such as functional checks or engine run-ups.” In summary, the aircraft are easily moveable and do not block hangar space.

Largest engineering and avionics project on King Air 350C Jet Aviation Zurich recently completed its largest engineering and avionics project on a King Air 350C. It was the first of its kind to be performed in Europe. The six-month project included an extensive avionics installation with state-of-the-art systems. The client brought the 14-year old King Air 350C aircraft, which is used for Swiss topography mapping, to Jet Aviation Zurich. The purpose was to remove the entire analog avionics system and cabling and replace it with a fully digital installation. Under the guidance of the company’s engineering department, plans were developed based on the latest technical standards and according to Swiss and US commercial aviation regulations. Jet Aviation’s extensive know-how of servicing King Air aircraft for many years and the in-depth preparation on the engineering side paid off. A team of up to six avionics specialists worked on the aircraft over several months. “Our client was extremely happy that we completed such an extraordinary project ahead of deadline and congratulated us on our outstanding engineering and avionics installation work,” says Thomas Rimml, senior vice president and general manager Jet Aviation Zurich.
