Program Scope & Objectives
The Base Overhaul Initiative addresses infrastructure aging, tooling obsolescence, and digital fragmentation across all AeroVance depot facilities.
Hangar Expansion
24,000 sq ft climate-controlled assembly bay with HEPA filtration, vibration isolation flooring, and modular power distribution for high-draw test equipment.
Clean Room Integration
ISO Class 7 rated environment for avionics sensitive component handling, ESD-safe workbenches, and controlled humidity management.
Tooling & CNC Fleet
Deployment of 5-axis CNC machining centers, automated metrology arms, and laser scanning for rapid reverse engineering of legacy parts.
Utility & Power
Redundant 480V/3-phase distribution, uninterruptible power systems (UPS) for critical test benches, and nitrogen/oxygen piping networks.
Structural Life Extension
Comprehensive airframe inspection, crack repair protocols, composite patching, and stress relief treatments per OEM SBs and ADs.
Propulsion Overhaul
Hot section inspection, turbine blade reprofiling, fuel system calibration, and performance restoration to within 0.5% of BHP ratings.
Landing Gear & Brakes
Bogey reassembly, shock strut overhaul, brake assembly replacement, and rigging verification per manufacturer torque specs.
Cabin & Systems
Interior refurbishment, HVAC sanitization, electrical harness retermination, and oxygen system certification.
Digital Twin Integration
Real-time asset tracking, predictive maintenance modeling, and lifecycle simulation for every component entering the overhaul pipeline.
Avionics Programming
Loadable software updates, FPGA configuration, GPS/INS alignment, and cockpit display certification per DO-178C standards.
NDT Automation
Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT), eddy current array (ECA), and thermographic inspection with AI-assisted defect classification.
Data & Traceability
Blockchain-secured component history, RFID tracking, and automated generation of FAA/CAAC/EASA airworthiness release forms.
Overhaul Process Timeline
Standardized 5-phase workflow ensuring quality control, regulatory compliance, and predictable throughput.
Receiving & Initial Inspection
Documentation verification, visual assessment, tag-out procedures, and baseline weight/balance recording.
Disassembly & NDT
Systematic breakdown to line-replaceable units (LRUs), non-destructive evaluation, and corrosion assessment.
Repair, Refurb & Upgrade
Machining, composite repair, electrical rework, software flashing, and integration of service bulletin modifications.
Integration & Functional Test
Reassembly, pressure testing, vibration screening, avionics bench check, and ground run simulation.
Quality Assurance & Release
Final inspection, airworthiness certification, documentation package generation, and shipping preparation.
Compliance & Quality Standards
All overhaul activities are executed under strict regulatory oversight and internal quality management systems.
