Overnight Landing Gear Valve Replacement

Quick action, clear communication, and a reliable return to service.

A Falcon 7X arrived at JetSupport in the early evening with a leaking landing gear control valve. The aircraft was scheduled for a mission the next morning, so the operator needed the problem resolved overnight without risking delays or uncertainty.

Landing gear faults always demand immediate attention because they influence dispatch reliability and operational planning. For this operator, the key question was simple. Can the aircraft be ready by morning and can the work be trusted for the next rotation?

Rapid Response When the Aircraft Arrived

Once the crew reported the issue, JetSupport brought the aircraft into the hangar and started diagnostics. The team familiar with Falcon maintenance confirmed the valve as the source of the leak and prepared the workflow for the night shift. Tooling, parts, and documentation were arranged so the repair could continue without interruption. Clear coordination between technicians, logistics, and quality control helped keep the process moving from one step to the next.

Overnight Replacement and Testing

Through the night, the engineers removed the defective valve, installed the replacement, and carried out the required hydraulic checks. The aircraft then underwent landing gear operational tests and a full review of the system. Even with the tight timeline, the team followed all maintenance procedures and documentation requirements so the operator had full confidence in the work.

Ready for Departure by Morning

By early morning the Falcon 7X passed all functional checks and was cleared for departure. The operator avoided an operational delay, kept the next mission on schedule, and departed with a fully stable landing gear system.

The crew also received the usual early morning stroopwafels from the JetSupport team. It is a small gesture, but one that reflects the service culture operators often mention when choosing JetSupport.

Why Operators Trust JetSupport With Falcon Maintenance

Operators choose JetSupport for these situations because the organisation is built for fast and predictable turnaround. The team runs double shifts seven days a week. The MCC works around the clock and starts coordinating the moment an issue is reported. Eighty five percent of technicians are type rated certifiers which raises the consistency of troubleshooting and reduces the risk of repeat findings. Direct apron access and in house towing shorten the time from arrival to the start of maintenance. The live digital work order system gives full visibility of parts, tooling, manpower, and progress so operators know exactly how the job is moving.

 

These elements combine into what matters most for crews and planning teams. Quick action, clear communication, and a reliable return to service.

Result

The overnight valve replacement restored the Falcon 7X to mission ready status without delay. For the operator it was a straightforward experience in a high pressure moment. For JetSupport it was another example of how structured workflows, certified expertise, and constant availability keep aircraft flying when schedules leave no margin.
