Flying Colours has completed a&nbsp;third 8C check on a Bombardier Global&nbsp;at the company’s facility in Canada. The two others were completed within the past 12 months. The 10-year heavy maintenance inspection required the aircraft to be stripped for full structural inspection, including removing the interior. Flying Colours (Booth 1735)&nbsp;redelivered the third Global at the end of July and expects additional 8C inspections for 2019.

 


“We know there will be a significant number of Global C-checks due next year, so we have readied the team with specific training and added extra equipment, including a customized tail-dock, to meet demand. As a Bombardier authorized service facility, we are well positioned to support the upcoming mandatory checks,” said Flying Colours executive vice president Eric Gillespie.

 


The latest 8C check involved fully overhauling the landing gear, replacing cabin seats, exterior paint, and refurbishing and refinishing&nbsp;interior items. Bombardier Challengers and Learjets, as well as Dassault Falcons, are also undergoing heavy maintenance checks at the company’s Canadian and U.S. facilities. Flying Colours&nbsp;has the capability to provide&nbsp;“interior modifications and technical upgrades in parallel, which minimizes the aircraft downtime, helping the owners to save time and money,” explained Gillespie.

 


The company&nbsp;is promoting its heavy maintenance options at NBAA 2018.
