The Intricate Workings Of An Avionic Repairs Company

By Michael Obrien


Avionic repairs are widespread and cover everything regarding an aircraft. It is for this reason that these companies are connected to various outlets that specialize in specific areas of the craft. If all their documentation is in order, the business can tackle any aircraft be it from the latest models to the much older varieties.

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.

Test engineers need at least a dozen years of accumulated training and experience before they are allowed senior positions in this job. The test equipment that is used must be regularly upgraded to keep up with technology. This is needed for the company to hold on to its valuable clientele.

Very large corporations have established repair centers that specialize in certain areas of the aircraft. Aircraft instruments, pneumatics, electronics, hydraulics or mechanical components as well as manufacturing and creating new equipment have separate divisions. Heavy frame maintenance ranks high on the list of repairs. Services for heavy aircraft include aircraft configuration, avionic modifications, structural testing and fuel tank inspections.

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.

Establishments have strict rules when it comes to adhering to an aircraft owner's instructions as well as disassembling and storage of the craft. Stripping is completed by a disassembling team. They tend to the inventory requirements and safe storage coupled with reasonable parking rates. Any leftover scrap goes to the recycle plant.

Legal certificates to fix airframes, components or power plants are also required as they are not only for propellers alone. Components, which are made up of doors, windows, wings, furniture and equipment have to comply to standards. Smoke detectors are of cardinal importance and need to be in tip top condition. Water and waste disposal and maintenance require ongoing inspection.

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.

Customer service has to be outstanding when it comes to avionic repairs. Sloppy workmanship is out of the question as lives are at stake all hours of the day and night. Satisfied clients have put their trust in the abilities of the company.
