Calendar

service life extension for ATM

Order service

In the operation of aviation equipment, the reliability of every element is critical — from major assemblies to small components. Over time, aviation technical materiel (ATM) reaches the calendar and operating service life limits set by the manufacturer, after which its further use without special procedures is not permissible.

Armada-Group offers a comprehensive service for extending these periods — in full compliance with the requirements of aviation regulators, industry standards and factory procedures.

Key benefits of the procedure

For aviation enterprises, taking even a single unit of equipment out of service because a component's service life has expired entails serious costs: aircraft downtime, rescheduled flights, additional logistics expenses and lost revenue. At the same time, many assemblies and units objectively retain service life and can safely remain in operation — provided that a qualified assessment of their technical condition is carried out and the prescribed work is performed.

Service life extension makes it possible to:

• keep the aircraft fleet serviceable;
• reduce spending on the purchase of new spare parts;
• optimise the maintenance and repair budget;
• avoid unscheduled downtime of the aircraft.

Arranging service life extension for ATM

Armada-Group delivers the full cycle of work for the calendar and operating service life extension of aviation technical materiel.

The service comprises the following stages:

• Receipt and incoming inspection. We accept ATM from the customer, carry out visual and instrumented inspection, record the current condition and verify completeness and documentation.
• Analysis of technical documentation. Our specialists review data sheets, logbooks, records of previous tests and repairs, and applicable service bulletins.
• Performance of scheduled work. Where necessary, restoration operations are carried out: replacement of worn elements, cleaning, lubrication, adjustment, painting and other work in accordance with the manufacturer's technical documentation.
• Testing and parameter verification. Items undergo functional testing and checks of leak-tightness, strength, electrical characteristics and other parameters confirming compliance with requirements.
• Processing of permit documentation. On completion of the work a set of documents is compiled, including defect survey reports, test records, technical condition statements and documents confirming service life extension in accordance with regulators' requirements.
