Cessna Citation Mustang Meeting in Valencia

From 24.11.22 to 27.11.22 another member meeting of the Citation Mustang Interest Group (CMIG) took place, this time in Valencia. The Spanish port city welcomed the participants with best sunny weather and offered at this time of year a welcome change to the gray November in Germany. 
But not only the Mediterranean climate attracted the club members to southern Spain, in Valencia is the most modern and largest maintenance center of Textron Aviation. Unfortunately, despite the support of Execujet Handling, the arrival at the airport was somewhat marred by Spanish regulatory madness. Numerous regulations and an unusual amount of paperwork and registration bureaucracy had to be complied with and mastered in advance. 
The tour of the Service Center impressed the enthusiastic participants. Textron offers Scheduled and Unscheduled Maintenance, a complete Paint Booth and an Interior Shop for complete refurbishments. The Hotel Las Arenas Balneario Resort impressed with its location in the first sea line and well-equipped oceanfront rooms.
The actual meeting took place on Saturday. Highlights here were the latest features from RocketRoute, ForeFlight and Garmin. Unfortunately, there was also some need for discussion with Textron on the availability of spare parts, a problem that is affecting all of aviation at the moment. Constantin Hingerl presented his mobile EU wide aircraft reconditioning service Optimum Clean, which is certified by Cessna. 
On Sunday, the members received their annual NCC Recurrent training, after which they headed home in all directions.
