Excalibur

Sabreliner's Excalibur modification extends the service life of 40, 60 and 80 Models, adding 5,000 hours - or roughly 20 operating years - to the airframe, based on 250 flight hours per year.

The Excalibur modification includes complete structural inspection of the fuselage and new exterior paint.  The process begins with a thorough induction inspection.  After this inspection is completed, the aircraft is defueled, the exterior paint is stripped and the wings are demated.  The cockpit interior components, including the instrument panel, the cabin interior and the sound proofing materials and insulation are removed.  After removal of the auxiliary fuel cell, a complete visual structural condition inspection of the fuselage and empennage occurs.  Approximately 40 structural parts are replaced with stronger, more durable parts.  Many CAMP Cards and Service Bulletins are complied with as part of the program.

At the end of the inspection, you receive a comprehensive report of the findings and a fixed price quote for any repairs needed beyond those included in the inspection process.  If you choose not to proceed, your only cost incurred is the Excalibur inspection itself.  If you choose to continue, Sabreliner's skilled mechanics perform needed repairs, install structural modification parts, reassemble the aircraft and apply new exterior paint to your specifications.

Benefits of the program include increased value of the aircraft, cost avoidance over the next several years for CAMP Cards and Service Bulletins and reduced aircraft downtime.
