Engine Shop Visit Management

An engine shop visit is usually your biggest maintenance bill, and it's a commercial, records, lease and regulatory event all at once. The shop does the work, but the outcome is yours. We manage the visit on your behalf, for private and corporate flight departments, charter fleets, lessors and airlines, looking after cost, schedule, records and the long-term value of the engine.

What We Manage at Every Stage

We stay involved for the whole visit, not just the quote, because that's when costs creep up, schedules slip and records gaps appear.

• Strategy first. Deciding what material is acceptable (OEM, USM, PMA, DER repairs, exchange) and what build standard makes sense, depending on whether the engine will keep flying, be sold or come off lease.
• Intake and inventory. Recording the condition of the engine and stand when it arrives, and inventorying LRU and QEC parts before anything comes apart.
• Scrap and disposition review. Pushing back on unserviceable findings, manual in hand, before good parts get scrapped.
• Outside repairs. Keeping an eye on vendor turn times for the parts that are actually holding up your engine.
• Cost as you go. A running estimate-at-completion, so the final invoice is never the first time you see the number.
• Assembly, test cell and records. Checking test-cell acceptance and making sure the records package will support return to service, sale, lease placement or financing.

Who We Manage Visits For

The right plan depends on who owns the engine and what it has to do next.

• Airlines and regional carriers: turn time, spare-engine availability and cost.
• Lessors and asset managers: marketability, clean records, LLP visibility and lease economics.
• Private, corporate and charter operators: residual value, a budget you can rely on, material traceability and compliance wherever the aircraft is registered.

How Engagements Work

Every engagement is scoped to the size of the event, the number of proposals, how complex the paperwork is and how much oversight you want. We can work quietly in the background for your team, or sit in as your commercial representative in shop and MRO discussions.

The best-run shop visits aren't the ones where you wait for the final invoice. They're the ones where, at every stage, you know what's happening, why, what it costs, what it does to the schedule and what it means for the engine's value.
