Textron Aviation Expands Service Offerings to Include Cessna Citation 560XL Series Landing Gear Repair Process

Textron Aviation today announced the expansion of its service offerings to include a new standard repair process for Cessna Citation 560XL series aircraft main landing gear (MLG). The new solution, developed in collaboration with the company’s affiliate, Able Aerospace Services, allows for significant MLG repairs without a full replacement – providing an additional timely and cost-effective part option for customers.

Beechcraft, Cessna and Hawker customers receive factory-direct support, maintenance and modifications by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, through its global network of service and parts centers, mobile service units and 24/7 1CALL AOG (aircraft-on-ground) support.

“Our priority is delivering the best aviation experience for our customers, and having the option to repair main landing gear gives customers additional flexibility when servicing their aircraft,” said Brian Rohloff, senior vice president, Customer Support. “This investment in a new solution for Citation 560XL aircraft supports reducing operating costs and minimizing aircraft downtime so that we can keep our customers moving.”

Textron Aviation initially announced MLG repair capabilities on the Cessna Citation CJ series aircraft in 2020. In addition to offering greater efficiency for customers, the new service supports Textron Aviation’s efforts to reduce and reuse by allowing customers to repair parts and utilize exchanges and rentals. The company continuously seeks to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of maintenance services across the entire Beechcraft and Cessna fleet.
