26 June 2019: RUAG MRO International signs a new contract for a 3C-check on a Dassault Falcon 900LX at its business jet support facilities at Geneva-Meyrin, Switzerland. The returning customer wants to optimise the heavy maintenance check to include an avionics upgrade to comply with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) mandate on ADS-B Out, as well as a partial cabin refurbishment.
In September 2019, the business aircraft is set to arrive at the RUAG site. Besides the avionics upgrade for compliance with Mandate 2020, which is due on 7 June, the 3C-check project also includes a partial cabin refurbishment in the scope of work.
All services are scheduled to take place during the one downtime. RUAG knows the advantage of one-stop shop approach, citing that the customer is able to benefit from more time in the air for profitable, scheduled operations.
"Optimising heavy maintenance checks, like this 3C-check, allows our customers to save on both time and costs," said Stephan Woodtli, Managing Director for Sites Lugano and Geneva, RUAG MRO International.
