JetCorp Technical Services begins work on 35th Challenger 300
JetCorp Technical Services Inc., the US-based operation of Canada’s Flying Colours Corp., has begun maintenance work on its 35th Challenger 300 aircraft. Maintenance work on the aircraft began in September and will include a full 96 month inspection, interior refurbishment, and new exterior paint.
Uniquely JetCorp’s MRO business stays open 24 hours seven days a week running three shifts on the maintenance, repair and overhaul activity. This has been integral in supporting the reputation it has gained for expertise in working on the Challenger 300 fleet with over 1300 workorders opened over the last 5 years on the Challenger 300 aircraft.
During this time JetCorp has completed four of the intensive 96 month inspections which entail an exhaustive and comprehensive review of the entire aircraft. These in-depth types of inspection are carried out by Jetcorp’s factory trained technicans and have helped make it one of the most respected and experienced global service providers for the Challenger 300. In conjunction with these major inspections Jetcorp has also positioned itself as a Bombardier authorized airframe and interior Warranty provider for the Challenger 300 ensuring all customer requests can be carried out at one convenient location.
In 2011 JetCorp completed a Supplemental Type Certificate to install and implement WiFi on the Challenger 300 so complementing similar STCs it holds for Wi-Fi implementations across a range of Bombardier aircraft types including the Challenger 604, Challenger 605, Challenger 300 and Learjet 60.

JetCorp Technical Services Flies into Indonesia with first CRJ ExecLiner conversion for the region
JetCorp Technical Services, Inc. a subsidiary of Flying Colours Corp., has begun work on the latest in its series of state-of-the-art executive conversions of the Bombardier CRJ 200 regional airliner. The Bombardier CRJ will be transformed into an ExecLiner executive VIP configuration destined for a private Indonesian client. This is the first ExecLiner to be readied for Indonesia and during the conversion process Flying Colours will work closely with the client and Bombardier to achieve Indonesian type certification for the CRJ200. Flying Colours will supply an FAA STC that will subsequently be validated by the Indonesian regulatory body and the aircraft will be exported to Indonesia upon completion.
The highly specified aircraft will be transformed from its high-density regional jet layout to a luxuriously appointed executive jet featuring a 22 seat configuration, which represents additional seating compared with other previously completed ExecLiners. It is planned for the interior to be tastefully decorated in traditional yet elegant colour selections and will include a reconfigured galley and first class lavatory.
In addition to an extensive pre-purchase evaluation, and the interior conversion, Jetcorp will also be carrying out an extensive maintenance package on the aircraft at its full spectrum MRO facility. Maintenance work will include a landing gear overhaul, a 96-month inspection, the conversion from a high utilisation maintenance programme (HUMP) to a low maintenance programme (LUMP) and the incorporation of all outstanding Airworthiness Directives.
The completion of the interior including the construction of all new monuments, soft goods, woodwork, avionics upgrades, and installation of all items will be completed at Jetcorp with exterior paint work and final sign off to be completed at Flying Colours’ Peterborough, Ontario facility. The collaboration on the project will highlight the extensive capabilities of both locations and again reinforce the ability of its two locations to collectively deliver a high quality product to its worldwide customer base. This latest conversion will be carried out at the St Louis, Missouri based facility, and is due for completion in early 2013. It is the fourth ExecLiner that JetCorp has undertaken, and twelfth that Flying Colours Corp. as a whole has converted.
This latest project, the first for an Indonesian private client represents a move into a key new market for Flying Colours Corp: “We have met with multiple potential private customers in Southeast Asia in recent months. The interest in our services in this region has increased dramatically and we are receiving a growing number of requests from the Indonesian area particularly,” said Eric Gillespie, Flying Colours Corp. Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing. The latest project follows hard on the heels of Flying Colours delivery of three new Bombardier Challenger 850 aircraft completions to mainland China and Hong Kong this year.

 It is with great sadness that Flying Colours has to inform you of the sudden passing of a dear friend and colleague, Paul J. Heaver, Vice President Completions & Modifications of their USA subsidiary JetCorp Technical Services. Paul passed away suddenly on Sunday, May 20, 2012.
“Our thoughts, prayers, and support are with Paul’s wife, Jacqueline and daughters Paris and Alicia. Paul’s limitless passion for our industry and his tireless commitment to his profession will leave a lasting impression on all of us. His contributions, kindness, sense of humor, and professionalism will be deeply missed,” said Flying Colours President and CEO John Gillespie.

He has been a stalwart in the industry for over 25 years, working with the likes of de Havilland and Bombardier prior to joining Flying Colours.
“Paul was hugely instrumental in the success of our Bombardier CRJ conversion program and took a prominent role in our green Challenger 850 completions.

JetCorp continues to keep customers connected in the air with addition of
a Learjet 60 wifi STC.
JetCorp Technical Services Inc., a subsidiary of Canadian-based Flying Colours
Corp., has increased the breadth of its connectivity offering following the completion
of a Supplemental Type Certificate for the Aircell® Cabin Telecommunications Router
(CTR) on a Learjet 60. Installation and certification of the Aircell CTR provides in-cabin
Wi-Fi capability for Aircell’s Continental America focused Gogo Biz™ Inflight internet
service. The system can be used on lap tops, tablets, and even smart phones enabling
passengers to surf the internet, retrieve and answer email with attachments, and access
their corporate VPN. Following hard on the heels of the first installation resulting in the
STC, a second Learjet 60 has had the Aircell CTR installed and a further five Learjet 60s
are in the pipeline.
JetCorp has become increasingly specialized in connectivity installation and since
early 2011; the dedicated avionics installation team has completed nearly 40 Wi-Fi
implementations across a range of Bombardier aircraft types including the Challenger
604, Challenger 605, Challenger 300 and Learjet 60.
“We are working hard to develop our capacity to be one of the America’s leading Wi-Fi
installation facilities,” says Kevin Kliethermes, Director of Sales at the St Louis facility
where they have experienced a growing demand for greater connectivity solutions. “The
Learjet 60 is a very popular aircraft type in the North American region particularly within
the corporate community where always-on connectivity is so important. The new STC
goes one step further to support this market and is one of the reasons we are very
pleased to now offer this option,” continues Kliethermes.
JetCorp has also devised an efficient installation process which with careful planning
and proper staging, has dramatically decreased the average downtime required for the
Learjet 60 installation (which can take up to 10 days) to just 4 calendar days. It is also
planning to accrue more STCs for the Aircell CTR over the next twelve months and is
focusing on multiple aircraft models.
