Last summer, Dassault Aviation was awarded a major maintenance contract to support the French government’s Falcon fleet. This fleet of six Falcons is mainly assigned to transporting state officials, performing medical evacuations and conducting flight training.
In February, Sabena Technics started work on one such Falcon – it happened to be the first 6C-check on a Falcon F900B, performed within its facilities in Dinard, France. This specific aircraft is the fleet leader for the F900 family in Flight Hours.
This visit marked several firsts:
- First 6C-check on a Falcon 900B
- First C-Check on Falcon 900 aircraft for Sabena Technics Dinard, an approved Falcon service center
- First C-Check of the newly won French government maintenance contract
It was a successful experience for both Sabena Technics and Dassault Aviation. Together, the teams managed to overcome challenges and complete the inspection within the tight time constraints given. The customer was delighted to receive the aircraft back in outstanding condition, both inside and out.
Next up: a 6C-check is about to begin for the second Falcon 900B in the fleet.
