Repair Classifications.....

MROtechnologies, through its principal, has provided DER services to airlines worldwide and also to OEM repair stations. Our customers have include American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines and a host of repair stations. MROtechnologies has developed repairs for Boeing, Douglas, Honeywell, Whittaker, Sargent, Hamilton Sundstrand, Teijin Seiki, Airbus, Parker Bertea, Allied Signal, Liebherr, Moog, Lear Siegler, Hughes Treitler, Able Corp, Sikorsky, Bell Helicopters, MD Helicopters, Eurocopter, MBB, Columbia Helicopters, Erickson Aviation, Helicopter Transport Services, Croman Aviation, Smiths and other OEM hardware. Repair methods include sleeving, electroplating, machining, grinding, shot peening, plasma spray, metal spray, conversion coating, destructive and nondestructive testing, parts fabrication, and much more. For customers supporting the military we have methods to create FAA approved repairs for the commercial equivalent aircraft which are readily accepted by the military for their applications.

MROtechnologies currently offers three types of FAA APPROVED repairs - standard, developmental and salvage.

STANDARD REPAIRS fall within the Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) guidelines and do not require any engineering or corrective measures other than following the OEM repair steps. These repairs typically require 15 to 20 working days.

DEVELOPMENTAL REPAIRS have no repairs listed in the CMM but provide sufficient information to allow coating substitutions or as a minimum to rework worn surfaces to their original design dimensions and finish. These may be airline approved, OEM approved or DER approved. Developmental repairs generally take longer since they may involve destructive and/or nondestructive testing, technical repair development, revisions and/or changes, engineering substantiation report generation, etc. Depending on the complexity, repair development may require 10 to 60 working days. MROtechnologies does its utmost to meet your customer required timeframe. Developmental repairs involve a fee depending on the volume of parts and your data ownership requirements. Complete copies of the CMM and other available data from the customer may be required for reference. Your company will retain repair rights and approved data but there will likely be a serial number only approval basis.

SALVAGE REPAIRS are repairs developed because no spare parts exist in the marketplace, are no longer manufactured at all by anyone or if they possibly are the manufacturer (OEM) leadtimes are extremely long. This type of repair is routine for older or out of production aircraft and may require 30 to 90 working days. Similar approval ownership guidelines to developmental repairs apply.

MROtechnologies does not PMA parts nor do we get involved with STC work. From a time perspective we have found our proprietary repair methods yield results much faster and far less expensively than PMA. DER projects are accepted entirely at the option, discretion and availability of the DER backlog.

In January 2001 Boeing's service engineering support pricing policy changed from no cost ($0) to $3500 ($5000 today) per DER submittal - our customers have found MROtechnologies support to be extremely economical and timely. We can help support your needs irrespective of aircraft or engine family for hydraulic and pneumatic piece part repairs.

Please feel free to call and schedule a consultation.

With the downturn in the economy all slow pay and new USA customers must deposit 50% of the estimated DER fees up front with the balance due on delivery of the engineering package and approval(s) or submittal(s).

Foreign customers must make a 100% payment of estimated fees. Any residual fees due to change of scope, etc will be payed prior to release of the engineering packages and data approvals. The same holds true for any consultory document investigations and preparations in support of any FAA projects for AMOCs, STCs, PMAs, etc.
