NSE Aulnat: a complete MRO activity in the heart of Auvergne

For this end of year, we wanted to introduce you to a place and a team with which we share a close collaboration: the NSE Aulnat aeronautical hangar and its MRO services for 100% care of your aircraft. Why this collaboration? It has been formed since Bayo joined the NSE group, even more naturally as we address the same users: notably the pilots who own private aircraft and who are keen to take care of their plane as much as their equipment, with the same quality requirements for their cockpit equipment as for the one they carry in their briefcase. These aircraft owners find in Aulnat a seasoned team dedicated to fully managing their aircraft, for both avionics and mechanical services. Follow the guide!

1. An aeronautical maintenance experience since 1999

A welcoming hangar

Where can you find this exceptional service? The NSE aeronautical hangar is located within the perimeter of the Clermont-Ferrand Aulnat airport in the heart of Auvergne, an ideal central location for both French and even European clientele. Your aircraft will be welcomed in a 2,200 m² hangar, heated and adorned with a beautiful wooden structure that perfectly symbolizes the spirit of excellence it hosts.
Equipped with eight slots, the hangar has the capacity to simultaneously accommodate as many group 1 aircraft and keep them sheltered from the elements during their entire care process: “No aircraft sleeps outside,” says Ludovic Sassi, director of the facility. But this is just the beginning of NSE Aulnat's service promise.

Wide-ranging skills

This promise of quality originates from experience: the team of fifteen people, including ten qualified technicians, relies on over twenty years of MRO practice, which has developed by acquiring over the years the necessary skills and certifications to handle a wide variety of aircraft.
The Aulnat aeronautical hangar currently holds European PART 145 and PART 21J certifications, as well as the North American FAR 145, and can also, since the UK's exit from the European Union, handle aircraft registered in the United Kingdom. Historically specialized in avionics, it has expanded its service offering with mechanical maintenance for the past two and a half years.
Today, it has the expertise to handle aircraft from groups 1 and 3, such as Beechcraft Baron 58 and King Air (models 90, 200, 300, 350), or Piper. It is gradually expanding to new ranges and will soon be able to work on Cessna Citation (CJ, CJ1, CJ1+, CJ2, CJ2+, CJ3, CJ3+).

2. A complete MRO service offering gathered in one location

Cared-for aircraft

What is done under this beautiful hangar? Almost everything: mechanical and avionics maintenance, as well as the design, industrialization, and integration of equipment, from the cockpit to the engine, and even interior renovation. And all of this with a constant commitment to excellence: “We must be good,” emphasizes Ludovic Sassi.
In avionics and mechanical maintenance, all basic maintenance or overhaul operations can be performed, as well as any necessary repairs. The mechanics can also carry out maintenance on subassemblies such as the engine, propeller, or landing gear.
In addition, an auxiliary workshop allows for testing, repairing, and general overhaul of batteries, and another laboratory is dedicated to radio tests to detect faults and malfunctions.

Renovation at all levels

Originally specialized in avionics retrofit and wiring, Aulnat NSE does not only provide maintenance for your aircraft but can also be called upon for its modernization, the installation of equipment, and for example, bringing your aircraft's cockpit from the analog era to the digital dial era, with the multiple technological advancements they enable.
Regarding the engine, the hangar is notably an authorized Blackhawk service center and can carry out installations and modifications.
Finally, you can benefit from the team's expertise in interior renovation to give a new appearance to your seats, furniture, or carpets.

The greatest availability

All these services are gathered in one place where you can have any operation you wish done, at any time, including in the heart of summer or during the Christmas period, as the hangar is open year-round. The team can also travel, no matter where in the world your aircraft is, for any intervention, particularly for AOG (Aircraft On the Ground) support.
The high availability of this team is one of the characteristics that NSE Aulnat's clients appreciate, but it is not the only one…

3. Personalized aeronautical services

A partnership relationship

“The values that drive the team are listening, consideration, honesty, and responsiveness,” says the director of the aeronautical hangar. “We want to have a partnership relationship with the owners who entrust us with their aircraft, rather than a provider-client relationship.”
How is this reflected? First, in the service billing methods: not only are services offered at very competitive rates, but quotes are always personalized, precisely tailored to the client’s request or needs.

The sense of hospitality

Your experience with NSE Aulnat will also be marked by a warm welcome. You can transparently follow the work being done on your aircraft, visit your aircraft while it is being repaired or retrofitted as often as you like. We will arrange transport to your hotel or the airport, train station for your return. You will be assisted in handling new equipment. And in general, the team is attentive and at the service of aircraft owners.
Lastly, an additional advantage, especially if you are a regular on Bayo.com: the waiting lounge available to you is also… our showroom. You can handle, test, and compare some of the iconic equipment and accessories from our online store, such as aviation headsets Bose, Lightspeed, or David Clark; our luggage, etc.
