For the Bombardier Global XRS, the 10-year inspection represents the most extensive and comprehensive maintenance event for this aircraft type. This inspection, also referred to as the 120-month check or 8C check, includes a thorough examination of the airframe and structure, as well as all aircraft systems and components.
As part of this maintenance event, the Global XRS undergoes an in-depth inspection process during which selected aircraft components are removed and examined for wear, damage, or corrosion. The inspection covers a wide range of systems, including avionics, electrical, hydraulic, fuel, and environmental control systems.
Specific tasks performed during the 10-year check include:
1. Inspection of the aircraft structure for corrosion and damage
2. Inspection and testing of the landing gear, wheels, and brakes
3. Inspection and testing of flight control surfaces and systems
4. Inspection and testing of electrical systems, including wiring, switches, and batteries
5. Inspection and testing of the fuel system, including tanks, lines, and pumps
6. Inspection and testing of the hydraulic system, including reservoirs, lines, and actuators
7. Inspection and testing of avionics and communication systems
8. Review and replacement of all life-limited components that have reached their recommended service life
