purchase and they feel better about making some
decisions going through the process, " Bajo said.
For instance, he said they will often get a customer's
input on paint to make sure they like a color
scheme before applying it or have them test out a
seat before it's installed to make sure it's to their
comfort level.
" I highly recommend customer involvement at
all different phases, " said Bajo.
Getting the Work Done
Downtime for a project as intensive as a total interior
refurbishment can be extensive. Welch said
because of this, they find many customers opt to
have other maintenance performed on their aircraft
at the same time.
" A lot of times when customers do the refurbishment
process, because it is an extended downtime,
they'll include maintenance with it, like avionic
upgrades, paint refurbishment. So, they'll try to,
depending on the inspections, try to see if there's
multiple work that they can do to try to minimize
any downtime opportunities. So what happens is
when the aircraft comes to our facility, what we'll
do is, we do all of our incoming inspections. For
example, if it's going through paint and interior, our
paint shop will go in and they'll do their incoming
inspection, walk around the aircraft, do all their
checks that they need to do, " she said.
To reduce downtime, many aircraft owners will
elect to have other needed maintenance done
at the same time as their refurbishment .

" Then the interior will do all their incoming
inspections at the same time the interior gets
removed and then goes to all the back shop. "
From there, the different departments get to work
on their projects, such cabinetry and soft goods. Each
department works together to minimize downtime.
" We just try to figure out a great schedule for that
aircraft to minimize downtime as best as we can.
