328 Design, a Germany-based refurbishment, completions and aircraft maintenance operation, has been issued its first FAA STC for the Dassault Falcon 50EX. The approval was issued by the FAA under the FAA/EASA bilateral safety agreement. The STC covers extensive cabin refurbishment including replacing the legacy cabin management system/in-flight entertainment (CMS/IFE) with Rockwell Collins’ Venue CMS/IFE, which features Wi-Fi connectivity for electronic devices. Additional features include a complete cabin refurbishment, replacement of all hard and soft materials, the new LED cabin lighting and a modified galley.
The project was achieved in collaboration with Duncan Aviation at the company’s facility in Battle Creek, Mich. This latest STC marks 328 Design’s 21st collaboration with Duncan Aviation in the four years the companies have been working together. 328 Design previously collaborated with Duncan Aviation on EASA STCs for several business aircraft, including Bombardier Challengers and Globals; Dassault Falcon's 900EX, 2000 and 7X; and Cessna's Citation 560XL+.
