INSPECTION PROGRAMS STREAMLINED
Low Utilization Inspection Program (LUIP) Facts
Bacon Aviation’s Gulfstream IV LUIP provides an alternative FAA-approved inspection program. This allows aircraft to safely operate past the manufacturer’s original recommended inspection interval. This saves money and reduces aircraft downtime.
With our unique FAA Organization Designation Authorization (ODA), you only interface with Bacon Aviation. This one-stop solution saves you time and inconvenience. For many Gulfstream owners, this means more hours of flying without incurring the substantial expense demanded by a previous inspection plan.
