Jet Aviation Dubai Completes 1st 4C-Check on a Falcon 50

Jet Aviation Dubai recently completed and redelivered the region’s first 4C-Check on a Dassault Falcon 50. The inspection was combined with FMS upgrades, light cabin refurbishments and mandatory ADS-B implementation. In tandem, the company also redelivered a 144-Month Check on a G450 and a 192-Month Check on G-IV, both requiring extensive structural repairs. The company is currently performing a C-Check on a BBJ.

The 4C maintenance inspection on a Dassault Falcon 50 is a milestone maintenance event due 24 years after service entry that requires extensive removal and subsequent reinstallation of the aircraft’s structures and systems for detailed inspections. With this Falcon 4C inspection, the aircraft cabin was entirely stripped, the three engines were removed and sent to the Engine Shop, and the landing gear was replaced.

The 8000+ dedicated man-hour project was achieved by sharing expertise and resources with the company’s Basel Dassault Falcon center of excellence, demonstrating Jet Aviation’s global MRO expertise and footprint.

During the Falcon 4C inspection, the Dubai facility was further occupied with major Gulfstream inspections on a G450 and GIV. Combined with a limited cabin refresh, the company redelivered a 144-Month Check on the G450 to a long-standing customer. For a long-term Jet Aviation network customer, the Dubai MRO team also completed and redelivered a 192-Month Check on a G-IV. This inspection required major structural work, totaling more than 5000+ man-hours.

Jet Aviation recently established a dedicated team of interior specialists in Dubai. The company is currently building an Interior shop with tooling to offer limited refurbishment capabilities. In the meantime, its Interior Services team is assisting with cabin removals and reinstallations, also making on-wing repairs such as varnish touch ups, leather reparations, carpeting and interior paint.
