Jet Aviation Basel announces it recently performed its fi rst C-check on a Dassault Falcon 7X aircraft. The C-Check was successfully completed in conjunction with a major cabin refurbishment and avionics upgrade. As the largest maintenance event for the Dassault Falcon
7X, Dassault Falcon Authorized Service Center Jet Aviation Basel recently completed its fi rst C-check on the aircraft in conjunction with an EASy II upgrade, a new Satcom installation, a soft material refurbishment, woodwork rectifi cation and exterior painting. To keep downtime to a minimum, qualifi ed technicians worked in shifts on the Falcon 7X throughout the project. “We are honored to have been entrusted with this
prestigious project,” says Fabien Fuster, director of Dassault Falcon Maintenance at Jet Aviation Basel. “Customers really appreciate our comprehensive service capabilities and are increasingly taking the opportunity to combine scheduled maintenance with other service off erings.” “Dassault Falcon owners and operators have been
returning to Jet Aviation Basel for 40 years, because they know they can rely on our expertise and experience,” says Johannes Turzer, vice president and general manager of the Jet Aviation Basel Maintenance Center. “Our ability to coordinate on-site refurbishments and upgrades during extensive maintenance checks adds further value by enabling our customers to maximize utilization of their aircraft. Combining scheduled maintenance checks with other service off erings is our way of delivering the highest benefi t to our clientele.”
AUBURN UNIVERSITY RECEIVES NA- TION’S FIRST FAA AUTHORIZATION TO OPERATE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS FLIGHT SCHOOL
Auburn University has received the nation’s fi rst FAA approval to operate a new Unmanned Aircraft Systems Flight School as part of the Auburn University Aviation Center.
“This is an honor for Auburn
University,” says Bill Hutto, director of the Auburn University Aviation Center. “We will conduct commercial fl ight training for operators of unmanned aircraft systems outdoors and untethered. We will have the ability to off er training courses at diff erent locations here and around the state for Auburn students, faculty, members of other public agencies and the general public.” Unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, are expected to be a key component of
RG-390E RG-390E/25
RG-380E/40B RG-380E/44 RG-380E/46
Two sturdy lifting straps have been added to the RG-380E and RG-390E Series batteries. Shipping now!

the state’s and nation’s economy as opportunities continue to arise in business and industry, as well as in research areas such as engineering, building science and agriculture. “It’s a major win for the state,” Alabama Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey
says. “We’re building off Alabama’s already rich history and robust industry in aerospace and aviation and now leading the nation in an area of emerging technology that’s critical to our success in future economic opportunities.” The FAA approval requires that operators of unmanned
aircraft pass a written exam and a fl ying test, both of which Auburn will administer. “It ensures that the operators have a good understanding of how to safely and properly operate an unmanned aircraft system,” Hutto says. Auburn University has been involved in aviation education for more than 80 years and has been providing fi ght training for pilots for nearly 75 years. Auburn off ers three aviation/aerospace degrees: aviation management, professional fl ight management and aerospace engineering. “I commend Auburn University on obtaining the new
FAA approval,” says Seth Hammett, a member of the Auburn University Aviation Center Steering Committee. “It is another step in continuing the long-time educational excellence in aviation and aerospace at the university. Our state will benefi t by having unmanned aircraft system operators trained in the safe, eff ective use of these aircraft.”
