With its first extensive 1C inspection on a Dassault Falcon 8X under its belt, Duncan Aviation has more lined up.

While Duncan Aviation has completed hundreds of 1C checks on Dassault Falcon 900s, 2000s, and 7Xs, it has now added the 8X to this list. The 1C check is the most comprehensive for Falcons, and Duncan’s MRO facility in Battle Creek, Michigan, recently completed the company's first one on the 8X trijet.

The heavy maintenance event requires the removal of all exterior panels and many interior components on the airframe. Given the scope of the work and its associated downtime, many operators tend to schedule major upgrades and refurbishments concurrently.
