Textron Aviation has expanded its service offerings to include a new standard repair process for the main landing gear (MLG) of Cessna Citation 560XL series aircraft. Developed in collaboration with the company's affiliate Able Aerospace Services in Mesa, Arizona, it allows for significant MLG repairs without a full replacement, providing an additional timely and cost-effective part option for customers.

“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,” says Brian Rohloff, senior vice president, customer support. “This investment in a new solution for Citation 560XL aircraft supports reducing operating costs and minimising aircraft downtime so that we can keep our customers moving.”

Textron Aviation initially offered 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's efforts to reduce and reuse by allowing customers to repair parts and utilise exchanges and rentals. The company continuously seeks to enhance the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of maintenance services across the entire Beechcraft and Cessna fleet.
