During a 4C inspection at Duncan Aviation’s Lincoln, Nebraska headquarters, the owners of a Falcon 50 decided to also have the airplane repainted and the interior and avionics updated. The jet showed corrosion and other age-related issues that needed attention, in addition to the “massive” 4C inspection that included landing gear overhaul, restoration of flight controls, and a detailed inspection of the entire aircraft that required removal of the cabin interior.

It turned out the airplane’s interior was in good shape, so the existing seats and headliner didn’t require a rehab or replacement. The owners did, however, elect to replace carpeting and countertops—and reupholster the lower sidewalls and divan. In addition, Duncan technicians went to work to make the cabinets look like new, courtesy of a complete hydrographic finish. They also installed a Gogo Avance L5 air-to-ground connectivity system.
