AMAC Aerospace Turkey Conducts Line Maintenance on Multiple Dassault Falcon Jets in Istanbul

AMAC Aerospace Turkey's Istanbul team carried out line maintenance on a group of Dassault Falcon aircraft, covering several types and a range of tasks. Two Dassault Falcon 7X aircraft were received for 2-month inspections accompanied by database updates; one of them also underwent an APU exhaust muffler inspection, engine and APU oil level checks, and troubleshooting of the tire pressure sensor, which uncovered a faulty part that was replaced. The second Falcon 7X completed non-flying period storage tasks alongside its inspection.

A Dassault Falcon 6X was received for a 2-month inspection, as was a Dassault Falcon 2000EX EASy. The Falcon 2000EX EASy received additional work: lubrication of the landing gear doors, an oil level check of the pneumatic starters, a functional test of the DC generator system, and replacement of both the fuel quantity management computer (FQMC) and the second main battery.

Two Dassault Falcon 8X aircraft arrived for periodic database upgrades and head-up display (HUD) updates; one of them also underwent a quick access recorder download, an APU soap check, servicing of the high-frequency coupler pressure, and replacement of the engine fuel filter. A new customer brought in a Falcon 7X for lubrication of the flap actuator screws across the entire system, while a long-term customer brought in a Falcon 2000 for slat replacement.

This batch of visits illustrates the everyday pattern of business-jet line maintenance: aircraft arrive for a scheduled trigger, such as a 2-month inspection or a database and HUD update, and additional findings during that visit expand the workscope into component replacements. The faulty tire pressure sensor on one Falcon 7X and the failed FQMC and battery on the Falcon 2000EX EASy show how routine checks routinely surface unscheduled repairs.

For an MRO facility, this mix of scheduled inspections, database work, and reactive component swaps across multiple Falcon types in a single hangar reflects how line maintenance capacity is actually used: not as single-task visits but as bundled stops where an operator gets several systems addressed at once. The presence of both a new customer and a long-term customer in the same period points to a facility drawing repeat and first-time business concurrently.

What continues from here is whether these aircraft return on their next scheduled interval or need earlier attention if similar component issues recur across the fleet types serviced.
