Aircraft
Engines and Accessories was born out of a need to
revolutionise the replacement engine market in Southern Africa.
The
market has traditionally been served by Aircraft Maintenance
Organisations offering engine rebuild services via in-house,
or contracted engine rebuilders.
The
result of this has been a situation where owners are often
compelled to wait for lengthy periods, with their aircraft
out of service, while the engine is removed from the airframe,
stripped, components machined and the engine reassembled with
new wear parts.
Firm
quotations at the start of the rebuild process have been impossible
to obtain, and many shocks have awaited owners once the engine
is disassembled and a full inspection and evaluation can be
undertaken.
Incorporation
of the latest service bulletins and ADs is often extremely
costly.
Our
service is designed to give the aircraft owner and/or operator
peace of mind, with a turnkey supply service where the engine
you receive from Aircraft Engines and Accessories will
incorporate many important items and benefits not offered
by engine rebuilders.
