Direct Fly team was sent to China again. Chinese company who purchased Technology Transfer package last year is increasing its ALTO 912TG fleet. First two airplanes were shipped and assembled earlier this year. Container with another two airplanes was handed over in Autumn 2017. After this, Chinese manufacturer requested on-site technical support from Direct Fly company when re-assembling these two aircrafts.
First stop of Direct Fly team took place at local airfield where two of ALTO airplanes were being operated. Beside little repairs customer was instructed in brake circuit bleeding. Questions and other remarks were answered and our team could continue to fulfil its main task.
Assembling of the two new aircrafts was held in giant site which belonged to Chinese manufacturer. Direct Fly team was mainly supervising Chinese employees work and provided technical hints. Part of the assembling is also the engine test which was successfully performed on both airplanes. After compass calibration first flight of these two airplanes in Chinese airspace was done. Chinese pilot who was trained in the Czech Republic sat behind the stick. The pilot managed to get airborne and land safely which proved the success of DF’s on-site support.
On April 1th 2017 the first flight of the ALTO aircraft took place in China. The test flight was a part of the Technology Transfer for Wanfeng Aviation. In March that year two ALTO aircraft were transported to the site. As part of an on-site support, the Direct Fly sent a team that participated in the assembly of both aircraft, technical consultations and the test flight in China.
