328 Support Services
GmbH (328), has recently partnered with USA-based
Duncan Aviation to deliver and certify a full cabin
completion on a Finnish registered, Bombardier
Challenger 604 aircraft.
Following 328’s work
on the EASA certification, the aircraft was
delivered to the customer on time last month. 328
Support Services was responsible for verifying all
the engineering data involved in the project as well
as certifying the modification with a new EASA Part
21 Minor Change Approval. On the other hand, Duncan
Aviation undertook all the production, installation
and testing activity at Duncan’s full service
facility in Battle Creek, Michigan.
The project
features a stylish new interior design for the 604’s
cabin, including new grey carpet throughout the
flight deck, galley, cabin and entrance hallway;
flight deck crew seats and an entry jump seat; newly
upholstered cabin and conference seating in pale
cream leather throughout; co-ordinating upper
sidewall/window panels in pale cream; flight deck
lower sidewalls and a right hand Corian countertop
in grey and white.
Jörg Gorkenant,
Chief Operating Officer and Head of 328 Design,
said: “We are very pleased to continue our
collaboration with Duncan Aviation and deliver
another successful project for a European customer.
We look forward to starting work on some other
projects together in 2017.”
Trevor Smith,
Certification Coordinator at Duncan Aviation added:
“Duncan Aviation is proud of its partnership with
328 and enjoys working with their dedicated and
talented team members. It is truly a blessing to
work with an awesome team such as 328!"
328 has been
working in partnership with Duncan Aviation since
2014. This Challenger 604 project is 328’s 31st
collaboration with them over the past three years.
In addition to the Bombardier Challenger Series, 328
Design has collaborated with Duncan Aviation on EASA
STC and Part 21 Minor Change Approvals for a wide
variety of aircraft models including the Global
