Company Plans More Training For Upcoming /47E Model Aero-News learned this week the turbine maintenance department at Banyan Air Service recently performed their first 10 year Pilatus demate. The project required extensive special tooling and custom fabrication of wing shoring. Banyan's Curtis Florio, Hartley Starratt and Misael Rodriguez fabricated the necessary shoring and performed the work under the direction of crew leader, Dan Day.
"This was an easy job, partially because a lot of thought went into the design of the aircraft and because of the support we received from Pilatus Field Service Engineer, Mark Frank," said Florio (shown above).
Florio is Banyan's expert with Pilatus aircraft and recently attended the 2007 annual Pilatus Support Meeting in Vail, CO. The two-day meeting covered technical issues with the PC12 aircraft, as well as information on upcoming PC-12/47E, which is currently on the production line.
