ExecuJet MRO Services Australia preps for entry into service of Falcon 6X

ExecuJet MRO Services Australia (ExecuJet), a Dassault Aviation company, is preparing for the Falcon 6X by investing in tooling and training to be ready to provide line maintenance for Dassault’s new flagship flying into Australia and New Zealand. ExecuJet has been sending maintenance engineers from Australia to Dassault in France and the US for type-rating and technical training on the aircraft. Other technicians have been trained by Pratt & Whitney Canada’s approved training organisation in the US on the PW812D engines that power the aircraft. The Falcon 6X was certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and US FAA on 22 August. The entry-into-service of the Falcon 6X is now imminent. “Our investment in training and tooling for the 6X strengthens our position as a ‘centre of excellence’ for Dassault Aviation civil aircraft in Australasia,” says Grant Ingall, regional vice president Australasia at ExecuJet MRO Services. “The tooling we are investing in includes the specific ones for the Falcon 6X airframe and PW812D engines. We have also applied for certification from the relevant civil aviation regulators, such as the US FAA, to be approved to do line maintenance on this new aircraft type,” added Ingall. The Falcon 6X, which is about to enter into service, is the tallest and widest cabin of any purpose-built business jet. ExecuJet MRO Services Australia has over 80 personnel and plans to add more engineers and technicians, including some already certified to work on Dassault aircraft.
