Dassault Aviation (Booth 2435, Static AD_204) has named Pauline Annen as director of&nbsp;pilot operational support for&nbsp;Dassault Falcon Jet, the French airframer announced Monday at NBAA-BACE 2022. A veteran engineer and Falcon pilot, Annen will lead a team of experienced Dassault engineers and pilots responsible for assisting Falcon operators and pilots in the Americas, with an emphasis on the service entry of new aircraft.

 


A former structural analysis engineer at Boeing, Annen joined Dassault in 2014 as a structural repair project manager and engineering liaison and most recently served as manager of pilot technical support. She has type ratings on the Falcon 2000EX EASy and Falcon 7X and has also flown the Falcon 2000S and 2000LXS, Beechcraft King Air, and Cessna Conquest in corporate operations. On weekends she serves as a jump pilot, flying skydivers in a Cessna 182.

 


“Pauline is well known to our operators and highly respected for her extensive knowledge and experience and the enthusiasm she brings to helping them get the most out of their Falcon aircraft,” said Frederic Leboeuf, v-p&nbsp;of pilot operation support at Dassault Aviation.

 


Annen has a master of science degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland and a bachelor of science degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
