The Intricate Workings Of An Avionic Repairs Company

By Michael Obrien


Companies specializing in avionic repairs offer a variety of services. Established concerns of good repute are members of the various types of engineering companies linked to the building and maintenance of aircraft. Operating with all the required certification in place, they are quite adept at tending to the latest aircraft as well as any of the grand old versions and models.

Services do not only extend to corporations with large fleets but the little guy is taken good care of as well. Military and commercial aircraft are also maintained. Technical staff is the backbone of the company of this caliber. They have to accurately diagnose any problem and set in motion the repair and overhaul procedures.

It takes more than 12 years for a test engineer to qualify for this job. Test equipment is as important and has to be regularly upgraded to keep in line with the developing technology. This sets a very high standard and the company and is likely to be placing it in a very favorable position.

Big maintenance establishments have specialized divisions that see to specific needs and maintenance on the aircraft. Instruments, electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics and mechanical parts are classified into certain areas. This also applies to the production and design of contemporary devices and fixtures. Heavy frame maintenance is a regular performance. The fundamental structure, fuel tank, aircraft composition and avionic conversions are particularly focused on.

Problematic propellers can only be repaired by qualified technicians and companies with their paperwork in order. Line maintenance are the jobs done on a daily basis and include regular repairs; be it day or night. If an emergency occurs, staff will be on standby to answer all calls. Other tasks in this line are engine overhauls, the cleaning of the exterior and interior of the aircraft and overseeing the handling of the cargo.

Aircraft storage and disassemble facilities are provided under strict company guidelines and owner's specifications. The disassemble team can strip an aircraft, order the required inventory and safely store it at reasonable parking rates. Left-over scrap metal is generally recycled or otherwise decently disposed of in an environmentally safe manner.

Propellers are not the only parts that need certification for fixing. Permits are also needed to repair airframes, components as well as power plants on a craft. Components include equipment, furnishing, doors, windows and wings. Fire protection is of vital importance and specified smoke detectors have to function properly. Water and waste require regular maintenance, inspections and repair when necessary.

Certification for fixing airframes will list which models the company is allowed to work on for a limited period of time. Boeing, Airbus or Cessna could be amongst the list of aircraft allowed to be repaired by the maintenance company. Power plant certification allows the repair company to work on the engines of specified aircraft for an allocated period of time.

Avionic repairs are precision engineering and the service has to comply with the required rate. Carelessness or faulty workmanship holds no place in this industry and keeping costs at a reasonable rate will certainly help the business. A happy customer is a regular customer.
