- Jet Aviation Dubai has announced the successful completion of the first Certification Foxtrot Basic upgrade on a Gulfstream G550 in the Middle East.
With the successful completion of this Certification Foxtrot upgrade, Jet Aviation Dubai solidifies its position as a leading maintenance service provider to the Gulfstream fleet for next generation air-traffic control systems.
Jet Aviation Dubai is authorized to support PlaneView Certification Foxtrot Basic upgrades on Gulfstream G350, G450, G500 and G550 aircraft, and Synthetic Vision on the G550.
"Successful completion of the Foxtrot Basic certification clearly demonstrates the strength of our Gulfstream Service Center as well as our ongoing commitment to invest in training and technology," says Michael Rucker, VP & GM, Jet Aviation Dubai.
"We were particularly pleased with the positive customer feedback received about the job well done."
Certification Foxtrot Basic provides pilots with improved vision, enhanced navigational ability and better weather information.
It is an efficient way of improving Gulfstream's aircraft performance, value, safety and navigational accuracy, all with minimal downtime.
The synthetic vision flight display (SV-PDF) provides improved situational awareness, particularly in unknown and mountainous territory, through one simple image that projects visual flight display with intuitive daylight, regardless of actual light or weather conditions.
