Component workshops and non-destructive testing

Specialised shops give the organisation freedom to act without sending parts away — batteries, seats and landing gear components are overhauled on site, and inspections are carried out with six NDT methods.

  • X-ray, eddy current, magnetic particle, ultrasonic, thermography and borescope inspection
  • C5 — electrical power and lights: batteries
  • C6 — equipment: seats
  • C14 — landing gear: wheels, brakes and side stays
  • Operational checks up to overhaul and repair; the approved part number list is available on request
