The Alenia C-27J Flight Line Stand: Unmatched Access for C-27J Maintenance
The Alenia C-27J Flight Line Stand is a versatile, height-adjustable platform built to support the wide range of access needs that come with maintaining the C-27J Spartan on both the line and in the hangar. With a strong adjustment range from 2250mm to 3650mm, this C-27J Flight Line Stand gives technicians a reliable working position for tasks across the engines, flaps, wing leading edge, wing root, and adjoining structures. Its design is practical, adaptable, and geared toward real-world maintenance flow.
Designed for C-27J Specific Tasks
Based on the proven B2 stand layout, this version incorporates additional features to meet Australian Standards while maintaining clear, predictable operation for crews who need safe access across multiple points of the aircraft. For a twin-engine tactical transport like the C-27J—where engine checks, flap-line inspections, hydraulic reviews, and wing-root tasks often occur in quick succession—having one C-27J Flight Line Stand that covers all these zones helps streamline activity and reduce repositioning.
Secure and Precise Height Adjustment
Height changes are controlled through a fully enclosed winch and cable system. This enclosure eliminates pinch points and keeps the adjustment mechanism protected from dirt, moisture, and snag risks. With smooth, controlled lifting action, technicians can set the working height with precision and confidence before stepping onto the platform.
Safe Access and Ergonomic Deck
Access is delivered through a 70-degree ladder equipped with high-visibility stair nosings. At the top is a compliant landing, giving users a stable transition point before vertical access continues upward when working at the upper height range. This two-stage access path helps maintain secure footing throughout the climb, particularly during tasks requiring tools or test equipment to be carried.
Once at height, technicians have a large, stable deck area with sliding guardrails on three sides. These guardrails can be lowered to midrail height or removed entirely while still keeping the toeboard in place. This adjustability is especially useful around the C-27J’s wing root, flap assemblies, and engine nacelle areas, where equipment clearance or panel access may require partial opening of the deck perimeter. Self-closing gates add an extra layer of protection, ensuring the entry point remains secure during use.
Easy Maneuverability and Stability
Heavy-duty towable castors let crews move the C-27J Flight Line Stand easily between aircraft positions. After towing, wind-down base jacks lock the stand firmly in place, providing a solid, stable foundation for tasks such as engine oil checks, flap track inspections, leading-edge reviews, or structural evaluations around the wing root. The tow bar locks up and out of the way when not in use, keeping the deck surrounds clean and reducing snag hazards in confined hangar environments.
Adaptable for Routine and Detailed C-27J Maintenance
Throughout daily C-27J maintenance—whether handling flight-line servicing, hydraulic quantity checks, flap lubrication, engine inlet inspections, or component changes—this stand offers a consistent, steady platform that adapts to each task with minimal setup time. Its large height range and compliance-driven design make it suitable for both routine and more detailed work, from quick exterior checks to extended periods of inspection and repair.
The Alenia C-27J Flight Line Stand provides a strong, clear solution for multi-zone aircraft access, giving technicians a safe, dependable, and adaptable platform that fits the demands of C-27J operations on the ramp and in the hangar.
