Bombardier G600-070001-1 Jack Pad for Select Challenger Aircraft

The G600-070001-1 Jack Pad serves as a lifting interface between a hydraulic or mechanical jack and the aircraft structure on select Bombardier Challenger series aircraft. Its primary purpose is to protect the airframe by providing a stable, load-bearing surface that aligns with the aircraft’s designated jacking points during maintenance, tire/landing-gear work, or inspections. Ensuring proper load transfer and balance helps prevent structural damage or deformation that could result from improperly placed jacks.

Model-specific jack pads are engineered to match the precise geometry and reinforcement zones of a particular aircraft’s jacking points. Using a generic pad risks misalignment, uneven load distribution, or contact with a non-reinforced structure – all of which can lead to airframe stress, dents, or structural damage. The G600-070001-1 jack pad ensures a correct fit, providing safe and balanced lifts that comply with manufacturer requirements.

The pad helps by distributing the load evenly over the aircraft’s reinforced jacking points, preventing point loading or concentrated stress that can deform or damage skin panels, landing gear attachments, or internal structure. It also ensures stable, nonslip contact during the lift, which reduces the chance of jack slippage or uneven lifting. Proper use of the jack pad ensures a controlled and stable lift, safeguarding the airframe throughout maintenance procedures.

Yes! With its extremely compact dimensions (1” x 1” x 1”) and minimal weight (approximately 1 lb or 0.45 kg), the jack pad is easy to store in a hangar toolbox or transport between locations. This portability helps maintenance crews manage equipment efficiently, even in space-constrained maintenance environments.

Yes. Most Bombardier Challenger aircraft require multiple jack pads, with one pad needed for each designated jacking point to ensure safe, balanced, and compliant lifting procedures. To support this requirement, the G600-070001-1 Jack Pad is also available as a complete set of three pads (G600-070001-1-Set), providing technicians with all the pads needed for multi-point aircraft lifting. Using the full set helps maintain proper load distribution, protects the airframe during maintenance, and ensures adherence to Bombardier’s approved jacking guidelines.

Using an incorrect pad – one that does not match the aircraft’s jacking point geometry – can result in improper load distribution, potential slippage, airframe stress or deformation, and even damage to skin panels or structural components. This poses a risk of unsafe lifting operations and may lead to costly repairs or maintenance delays. Always verify that the jack pad part number matches the aircraft’s approved configuration before lifting.

Absolutely! By using a Bombardier-specified jack pad that matches the aircraft’s approved jacking points, maintenance operations comply with manufacturer and regulatory requirements for safe lifting. This alignment supports airworthiness standards, prevents structural damage, and helps maintain the traceability of maintenance tooling – all of which are important for record-keeping, audits, and long-term airframe integrity.

Bombardier jack pads, such as the G600-070001-1, are built to strict OEM specifications and engineered for repeated use under the high-load demands of business jet maintenance. Their robust construction allows them to withstand frequent handling, heavy jacking forces, and typical hangar or ramp environmental conditions. With proper inspection, cleaning, and care, these jack pads provide a long service life and remain a reliable part of any aircraft maintenance toolkit.

Yes. The G601R071001-1 jack pad is designed for use on multiple Bombardier Challenger models, including aircraft within both the Challenger 300 and Challenger 600 series. This compatibility makes the pad suitable for safe, stable lifting when used with the aircraft’s approved jacking points. As always, technicians should verify part numbers against the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) to ensure proper fit and compliance with Bombardier’s jacking procedures.
