Anyone have first hand experience of a Global 8C check? Obviously this can run into several $m dependant on findings, but what was your eventual cost? How long did it actually take to complete?...and which maintenance facilities (specifically Europe) would you recommend or avoid?

Thanks,

SB

Bombardier Tuscan in 2014

Quoted in the door.... $ 2,726,116
Closer to 4m out.... no corrosion was found plane only had 3k hours TT

6 months down time Jan 15 - June 6th

This was a little over 100k cheaper than our quotes from EU, in addition we negotiated a 63k in departure fuel concessions to move it from USA back to the EU.

Included
All 8C items
Paint
Some Wood referb
Batch 3
DU885

With the 8C "QUOTED ITEMS ONLY" was originally quote was $400K but plan on 3 times that in general and you will be close.

The numbers are painful enough, but a six-month downtime must have really hurt!

Yea not surprised

For comparison with a super mid on arguably the most intensive inspection for a g200 transaction I was involved with-16C:

Base rate was 150k with squawks exceeding $300k
