Air Arabia located in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates and a long-standing, proud customer of GEC, contacted its engineering team with an AOG emergency.  Air Arabia urgently requested GEC provide technical engineering services for a customized aircraft weight and balance solution on behalf of their customer SALAM AIR.  The request included a specialized, off-level weight calculation uniquely created for Airbus A320-251N.  GEC’s engineers went to work immediately and within 2 weeks provided the customized weighing solution allowing Air Arabia to return to service their customer’s aircraft ending the expensive AOG event.  General Electrodynamics Corporation continues to be known around the world for its superior aircraft scale technology and advanced engineering contributions within the aviation industry.  Air Arabia looked to GEC’s engineering team on prior occasions with similar AOG emergency requests.

QSA, Aeronautical Engineering Services, a leading aviation and engineering services firm located in Dubai, UAE selects GEC’s new AN60z, highly accurate, electronic, piezo-sensor technology over the competition’s less accurate and unstable, strain-gauge shear beam designed aircraft scales.  QSA contacted GEC needing a portable aircraft scale solution that could read in 1 lb. or 1 kg. increments from 0-70,000 lbs.  The innovative piezo-sensors used by GEC offers a much higher resolution of millivolts (mV) to volts (V) output than the older style shear-beam technology.  Guaranteed scale accuracy of +/- .1% or +/- 5 lbs. was critical as was scale repeatability.  Following QSA’s thorough technical evaluation, GEC’s AN60z scale design and superior technology was selected for it’s advanced materials, reliability, accuracy, and certificated calibration stability.  GEC also uses this same superior electronic, piezo-sensor technology in its LPA400x and ULP410 portable aircraft scales as used predominantly for line maintenance on all light and narrow-bodied aircraft.  Headquartered in Arlington, Texas, GEC continues to reach new aviation customers throughout the world.  More information on GEC’s AN60z, please go to at https://www.gecscales.com/aircraft-weighing-systems/.
