PATS Aircraft Systems Contracts Major BBJ

PATS Aircraft Systems has announced the signing of a major interior refurbishment contract for the new owner of a Boeing Business Jet based in the Asia Pacific region. PATS will perform the major interior overhaul at its Georgetown, Delaware-based hangar facility. The scope of the interior refurbishment includes the modification or replacement of nearly all existing interior design elements including seating  layout re-configuration, finishing materials, soft goods and CMS/IFE upgrades to match the design and functionality preferences of the new owner. As part of the all-inclusive program,PATS will also accomplish the aircraft maintenance and oversee the exterior paint.

In the span of 7 days last week, PATS input the newly contracted BBJ into its hangar facility and delivered a previously contracted major BBJ interior modification to an undisclosed customer. The newly delivered, PATS’-modified BBJ included a new CMS/IFE system and other interior modifications delivered with two new STCs, certified on behalf of the FAA by PATS’ ODA.

Both events are testaments to PATS’ unique ability to deliver value, quality and a long history of BBJ experience on behalf of its valued customers in the most personalized, customer focused way. Matt Hill, PATS’ VP of Sales & Marketing, indicates “Our customers expect and deserve to be the focus of attention while planning, designing and performing their maintenance, modification and completions projects. At PATS, they receive that kind of customer focus… time and time again.”

As with all BBJs, the aircraft is equipped with a PATS Auxiliary Fuel System (AFS). The AFS is installed in the forward and aft cargo compartments in a 2FWD/5AFT configuration. The 7-tank configuration is equipped to hold nearly 3,290 gallons of additional fuel and allows for a total aircraft range of approximately 5,900 nautical miles.

PATS’ auxiliary fuel system STC kits are also available in numerous configurations for aftermarket installation in B737NG, B757-200, CRJ-200 and other aircraft types.
