In September Aero-Dienst Nuremberg completed
the first of three Dassault Falcon 7X C inspections.
Intensive planning guaranteed a seamless
performance during the first two consecutive C inspections, and afforded the
experienced Falcon operator - and long-term customer - Shell, a high degree of
fleet availability.
A third C-inspection is now scheduled for
another 7X operator at the beginning of 2018.
Aero-Dienst used the downtime to carry out
several tasks in parallel: “In addition to classic cabin and cockpit overhauls,
we installed a quick access recorder (QAR) based on a new STC", said
Thomas Opelt,
Aero-Dienst’s Maintenance Avionics Manager.

The aircraft has undergone extensive
modifications such as the implementation of a new comprehensive Demo Service
Bulletin for the fuel tank. The top-class and highly experienced Aero-Dienst
team plays out its strengths especially in the more demanding tasks, such as
work on ‘restricted areas’ (fuel tank). “We do this professionally and to the
highest possible quality standards. And this includes the strict HSSE
requirements (Health, Safety, Security, Environment), ensuring that we discharge
our obligations as a responsible employer”, said
Florian Heinzelmann,
Dassault Maintenance Manager at Aero-Dienst.
For Aero-Dienst it is always top priority to
adhere to the planned servicing schedule so that customers can make best
possible use of their fleet. That is why the full-service provider from
Nuremberg started detailed inter-departmental planning involving Maintenance
Planning, Design & Modification and Avionics as early as three months before the
Falcon 7X arrived.

Especially with complex projects such as this
one, Aero-Dienst appreciates the outstanding cooperation with the manufacturer
Dassault. “Basically, all three of the participating partners, Shell, Dassault
and Aero-Dienst, benefit from the direct and open communication that is required
to carry out this event successfully and to the customer’s full satisfaction”,
concluded Heinzelmann. |
