EL AL Boeing 787 - Maintenance C-Check

We headed to one of our Dreamliner airplanes for a routine inspection and maintenance service called a C check. This intensive, top-to-bottom process is performed every three years.

To perform a C check, the plane is almost completely disassembled. An aviation maintenance professional inspects each part of the aircraft to make sure no factor could pose a safety risk, before the plane can be reassembled. The entire procedure takes about 18 days.

First, before the plane enters the hangar, technicians test the hydraulic and electrical systems. Then all the seats are taken out and they are sent for a thorough cleaning. Part of aircraft flooring is also replaced. In the cockpit, the connection bolts at the windows are inspected for defects or damage. The folds of the travel pedestals are cleaned and inspected. The technicians also inspect the cockpit while the plane is lifted to simulate in-flight conditions.

We are grateful to EL AL technicians for their thorough and detailed work. Well done!
