Project Review
Pilatus PC12 Looks and feels like a big one. A Pilatus PC12 will always be appreciated, even if you have some larger business jet in your fleet. These aircraft are known for their versatility, performance, and reliability. This is also the opinion of the owner of this PC12 from Bangladesh, who has given his machine a notable upgrade. The owner decided to order a heavy interior refurbishment to ensure that the aircraft’s cabin is equal to the comfort, look, and feel of the heavy jets in the fleet. Up to now, it has been the most extensive upgrade that we at AeroVisto have carried out on a Pilatus PC12. One challenge in this project was that the components of this PC12 were approved in Bangladesh. So, to comply with aviation regulations, we underwent a corresponding audit at our factory in Staad (CH) and obtained the necessary CAAB Form 1 approval.
As part of our logistics services, our team packed the dismantled parts directly on-site at Dassault in Geneva and transported them to our manufactory. The passenger seats were reupholstered with a diamond stitching design and leather with stay-clean technology. The surfaces received a Decor Film Application finishing. TISCA manufactured the new carpet. In addition to the plating of all parts, new seat belts, and mirrors, the cockpit has been completely refurbished. The cabin also received new window shades. After extensive work, we could hand this beautiful PC12 back to a satisfied MRO partner and, more importantly, to a delighted customer. Now, this Pilatus PC12 really looks and feels like a big one!

Decoding EASA Form 1: Unveiling the Differences and Significance
In the intricate realm of aviation, where precision and compliance are paramount, the EASA Form 1 stands as a key document, ensuring the airworthiness and quality of aircraft components. Let's delve into the intricacies of the EASA Form 1, exploring its types and significance. Understanding EASA Form 1: The Basics EASA Form 1 is a certificate issued by a Part 21 Subpart G Production Organisation or Part 145 Organisation confirming that a product, component, or appliance complies with the approved design data. This document is crucial for the release and acceptance of aviation parts. Types of EASA Form 1: Unraveling the Layers EASA Form 1 (Single Release): Single release means the component maintenance has been released under one regulatory framework only. EASA Form 1 (Dual Release): Dual release means the component maintenance has been released concurrently under two regulatory frameworks. For example FAA & EASA. EASA Form 1 (Triple Release): Triple release means the component maintenance has been released concurrently under three regulatory frameworks (today limited to EASA Form 1 released under FAA and EASA and TCCA reg.)
The Significance of EASA Form 1: Ensuring Airworthiness Quality Assurance Dimension: The EASA Form 1 functions as a vanguard of quality assurance, affirming the alignment of the released component with the approved design data and conformance to regulatory standards. Traceability Mandate: A pivotal facet of EASA Form 1 lies in its facilitation of traceability, allowing stakeholders to meticulously trace the provenance, production, and maintenance lineage of the subject component. Global Recognition: The international acceptance of EASA Form 1 streamlines the cross-border movement of aviation components, engendering a unified compliance ethos on a global scale. For more information on the contents of an EASA Form 1 you can refer to EASA Easy Access Rules for Continuing Airworthiness (Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014) - Appendix II — Authorised Release Certificate — EASA Form 1 For an overview of the component release documents for installing you can click on the link below: EASA Reference Table For more information or training visit:

As aviation technology continually evolves, it fundamentally changes how we experience air travel. But what transformations lie ahead? To explore this question, we brought together two leading perspectives at the intersection of aviation, design, and innovation.
Santas New Sleigh 'Twas a frosty, starlit December evening at Santa's North Pole residence, a charming, snow-covered cottage nestled deep in the heart of an Arctic wonderland. Inside, the cozy abode was adorned with twinkling holiday lights that cast a warm and inviting glow that contrasted with the icy world outside. By the fireplace, a cheerful, rotund figure in a crimson suit, his snowy-white beard cascading like a waterfall, bustled about, overseeing the final preparations for that most magical night of the year. Now Santa had contended with severe stormy and foggy nights in the past, but this year he faces the biggest challenge of his very, very long life. You see, Santa's beloved red sleigh, the very magical vessel that carried joy to children in every corner of the globe, had seen its last flight. Gather 'round for this enchanting tale that sees Santa embark on a journey that will take him to the skies in a way he never imagined! As Santa put the finishing touches on his list of children's wishes, carefully checking it twice, a gentle knock echoed through the cozy cottage. The door creaked open, revealing Felix, Santa's head elf and the chief logistical officer of the North Pole tinsel operations. He approached Santa with a look of concern and a stack of schematics clutched in his hand. "Santa," he began, "I've been crunching the numbers, and I'm afraid I have some rather disconcerting news about your trusty sleigh." Santa's brows furrowed as he turned his attention to the elf. With a sigh, Felix shuffled the schematics and explained, "Well, Santa, it pains me to say it, but your old sleigh, while faithful and reliable for countless Christmases, has seen better days.
10 | Aviation Heaven Guide
It's simply too small and outdated to meet the demands of your worldwide gift-giving journey." He paused, glancing at Santa apologetically. "Perhaps it's time to retire it and let it find a new home in an aeronautics museum?" Santa's eyes widened in surprise, and he scratched his snowy beard thoughtfully. "Retire my sleigh? Oh, my dear Felix, that's quite the predicament. What are we to do?" Felix replied with a knowing smile, "Don’t worry , Santa. I believe I have a properly whimsical solution that will ensure this Christmas night is more magical than ever before. We need an upgrade, Santa - something a little more… efficient. Something faster and more modern – and less exposed to the chilling winter air. Perhaps a private jet…?" Santa is startled by this idea – it seems outlandish! Jingle bells herald his arrival to good children everywhere and tradition is important. But then he thought again about how close Christmas Eve is, and how very cold the winter sky gets at 40,000 feet. “Hmm, you have a point” he said begrudgingly. “But I wouldn’t know where to start. I understand flying reindeer sleigh magic, not jet engines”. But the man in red sees the wisdom in Felix’s words, after all, the spirit of Christmas is about bringing joy and making the impossible, possible. And what could be more joyous and seemingly impossible than Santa Claus flying around the world in a beautifully livered private jet? As the thought of a private jet began to dance in his mind like sugar plums, he found himself wondering how modern aviation can enhance his age-old journey. Now, it's important to remember that Santa is more than just a jolly old man in a red suit. He’s a master logistician, a caretaker of countless elves, and a friend to children worldwide. Put together, he’s darn smart. His life is dedicated to spreading happiness but behind his twinkling eyes and merry chuckle, lies a sharp mind, always ready to embrace new ideas that could bring more smiles to the world. As he pondered the elves' suggestion, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. It was none other than a snowcovered Tom Chatfield, the CEO of Camber Aviation Management. As though summoned by the magical winds of change swirling around the North Pole, Tom arrived ready to assist in orchestrating this important project. Santa’s eyes lit up with recognition, “Tom, my old friend! It’s been ages. Come in, come in!” Tom stepped inside, dusting off the snow from his coat, and replied with a warm smile, “Santa, I think I may be of some help, and I’ve got a few ideas that I think you’ll find quite exciting.” With his keen sense for detail and a knack for turning the impossible into reality, Tom was indeed the ideal wingman for Santa’s unique challenge. His work, driven by the belief that the sky is not the limit, has revolutionized private air travel for heads of state and mythical beings alike. A collaboration with Santa promised to weave magic and modernity, creating a solution that respects the old while embracing the new. “Well, my friends,” Santa exclaimed, “I think it’s high time we make our way to my workshop.” The trio bundled up and made their way up the snowy path to the heart of Santa’s bustling workshop. As they entered the building, the air was filled with the merry sound of elves working diligently, crafting toys of all shapes and sizes. Santa’s workshop was a sight to behold, with workbenches lined with colorful paints, stacks of toy soldiers, and shelves overflowing with dolls and stuffed animals. Felix, ever the efficient elf, led the way to Santa’s ergonomic work desk, adorned with a globe that depicted his top-secret route around the world. “Now” Santa boomed, “let’s work some magic! I’ll need a sleigh—oops, I mean, a private jet—that can not only carry a vast number of gifts, but also navigate the globe in a single night”. Going beyond his need for speed, Santa expressed his desire for a spacious area on the jet – not just any space, but an area that was essentially a magical workshop on wings. “The elves must have room to work their wonders,” Santa explained. “A place where toys can be crafted and wrapped, even as we soar across the skies.” Tom nodded, envisioning a state-of-the-art onboard workshop, complete with workstations and storage solutions that defied gravity. Then came the reindeer’s accommodations. “The reindeers are more than just companions; they are family,” Santa said fondly. “They need space to rest and play.” Tom imagined a reindeer lounge, a comfortable and secure area where Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and the rest could relax, with simulated environments to mimic their natural habitat in the North Pole. Navigation was another critical aspect. Santa needed to traverse the globe in one night, a feat that required more than just traditional maps. “We need a system that can chart the most efficient routes, adapt to changing weather, and ensure timely delivery,” Santa elaborated. Tom, excited by the challenge, proposed integrating an advanced navigation system, utilizing real-time global data and AI algorithms to plot the most efficient course. As the brainstorming delved deeper into the logistics of the Christmas Eve journey, Tom turned his innovative mind to one of the most crucial aspects – the gift delivery system. “Landing at every house isn’t feasible with a jet,” Santa mused. “We need a way to deliver gifts swiftly and silently, without losing the personal touch.” Tom’s eyes sparkled with ideas, imagining a high-tech, quiet delivery system that could deploy presents with precision and care. “You know, Santa – delivering presents from a jet presents a unique challenge, but I believe we can craft something extraordinary,” he said, his eyes alight with a fusion of technological zeal and festive spirit. Tom proposed a high-tech candy-striped parachute system for delivering presents. “Imagine a fleet of toy aircrafts each equipped with GPS and guided remotely.” He explained: “they could gently deliver presents to the right chimneys or even directly inside homes through open windows.” This system would be efficient, and precise, ensuring each gift lands exactly where it’s meant to. Aviation Heaven Guide | 11
Santa was starting to feel some trepidation. After all, these changes were going against tradition, and the children expected Santa to personally hop down the chimney, hand-deliver gifts and, almost as importantly, enjoy some milk and cookies. Tom understood Santa’s reservations and was ready with a plan – perhaps the parachutes could project a Santa hologram, each personally controlled by the big man in the red suit, sitting comfortably in his aerial control centre. “But Christmas is all about tradition, won’t it seem odd that Santa delivers presents by jet?”. “We’re not just building a jet, Santa,” Tom said with a reassuring smile, “we’re crafting a bold new chapter in your remarkable story, one that respects tradition, but also meets the demands of the modern world. Why, there’s more children than ever, and each one is expecting you to deliver. The magic of the season will be delivered in new and exciting ways!”
As the snow continued to fall outside, Santa, Tom, and Felix moved to a large wooden table in Santa's workshop. Tom had conveniently brought with him a stack of design schematics and brochures, each showcasing a different private jet option. They were spread out across the table, their glossy pages adorned with sleek, aerodynamic designs. "Now, Santa," Tom began, his finger tracing the lines of a particularly stylish jet, "we have a couple of solid options for you to consider. For instance, The BBJ Max 7, though smaller than its larger siblings, offers an impressive range of 7,000 nautical miles - more than enough for your global journey. Its cabin, while compact, could be cleverly designed to accommodate the elves’ workshop and a comfortable area for the reindeer.”
12 | Aviation Heaven Guide
“It’s like a cozy cottage with wings,” Santa chuckled. Tom continued, “The BBJ Max 7's advanced fuel efficiency and lower operational costs made it a prudent choice for the North Pole's budget, balancing magic with practicality.” Felix, always with a keen eye for aesthetics, chimed in, "Oh, Santa, wouldn't the 'BBJ' look splendid with a touch of red and gold trim? It would match your classic style perfectly." Santa nodded thoughtfully, considering the suggestion. "Indeed, Felix, our branding needs considering, but, right now, there are more important things to consider. Tom, what about cargo space?” Tom nodded in agreement, taking notes of Felix's suggestion, and continued, "Next up, we have the Sleek and Spacious ACJ319neo, Airbus's answer to the BBJ Max 7, boasted a similar range, with a cabin layout that provided ample space for your needs. Plus, its modern design and customization options offers a perfect canvas for every personal touch.” “An elegant solution for a modern Christmas,” Santa noted. Felix also remarked that the ACJ319neo’s fuel-efficient engines and eco-friendly design aligned with Santa’s desire to keep his carbon hoofprint to a minimum, ensuring a green Christmas in more ways than one. As Santa and Felix weighed the merits of both jets, they considered how each could be magically enhanced to fit the unique demands of the most important night of the year. The BBJ Max 7, with its cozy charm, and the ACJ319neo, with its sleek spacious efficiency, both stood as fitting candidates for a new era of Christmas deliveries. After pondering over their options, to Felix’s delight, Santa and Tom turned their attention to personalizing the new aircraft. As they delved into the details, Tom asked Santa about the colors and textures that most remind him of the joy of Christmas. Santa, his eyes reflecting the glow of Christmas lights, spoke of deep reds and greens, the warmth of gold, and the comfort of soft, plush fabrics. But, for Santa, the most important part of the Christmas eve journey was what he called "the joy of giving” – was there any way to weave that into the very fabric of the jet. Tom nodded, imagining a cabin adorned with festive hues, comfortable seating that resembled Santa's own armchair, and a state-of-the-art entertainment system to play Christmas carols and Rankin-Bass classics. To help Santa navigate the enormous task of navigating across the world in one night and finding good children that deserved presents, he’d need some magical help. Perhaps a cockpit that lights up with the Christmas spirit, guided by the joy and belief of children around the world. And specially designed cockpit seats, shaped perfectly to comfortably fit a reindeer’s behind while it piloted the aircraft. had discussed during their brainstorming session. With a mischievous grin, he snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the snowy landscape outside the workshop transformed into something truly magical. Santa, Felix, and Tom stepped outside and were greeted by the sight of a massive, festive hangar adorned with twinkling Christmas lights and garlands. It stood where only empty snow had been moments before, a breathtaking testament to the enchanting power of Christmas magic. Santa's eyes widened in amazement, and he turned to Tom, his heart full of wonder. "Tom, how is this possible?" he asked, his voice filled with childlike curiosity. Tom simply chuckled and replied, "Santa, my friend, you of all people should know that we don’t reveal one’s magical secrets!" With that, he led Santa and Felix inside the hangar. As they stepped into the hangar, they were greeted by a sight that left them all in awe. There, gleaming under the festive lights, was Santa's new jet, the perfect embodiment of all their dreams and wishes. It sparkled with the essence of Christmas, from its frosty blue exterior to the silver and gold accents that adorned it. It was a masterpiece of engineering and enchantment, tailor-made for Santa's extraordinary Christmas Eve adventure. Santa couldn't contain his excitement. "Tom, this is beyond anything I could have imagined!" he exclaimed. Felix, always with an eye for detail, chuckled and said, "Though, Tom, I must admit, a touch more gold trim wouldn't hurt." They all shared a hearty laugh. Tom suggested, "Well, Santa, Felix, how about we take it for a test flight? I think it's time to see just how magical this new jet truly is." Without hesitation, they climbed aboard the gleaming jet, ready for their first flight together. As the engines roared to life and the jet soared into the night sky (piloted by a certain red-nosed reindeer no less), it left a trail of sparkly magic behind, illuminating the darkness with its enchanting glow. And in the distance, there was the faint but unmistakable sound of jingle bells, ringing out to announce the beginning of a new chapter in Santa's extraordinary Christmas adventure.
