Our quoted lead time is valid from the date of receipt of your engine for the specified service, provided it arrives within the quote’s validity period.

  • Example: If we provide a quote on April 16th, 2025, with a lead time of 14 weeks and the quote is valid for 30 days, then the 14-week lead time should apply from the date of receipt if your engine arrives at our shop before May 16th, 2025.

Important Considerations Regarding Lead Time:

  • Quote Validity: If your engine arrives after the quote’s 30-day validity period, the lead time may need to be adjusted based on our current workload. We will make our best effort to communicate any significant changes to the lead time at the time of receipt.
  • Typical Steps Involved: Please understand that the quoted lead time includes several stages, some of which can vary depending on our shop’s workload and others that are dependent on external factors:
    • Initial Processing (Up to 6 weeks): This includes receiving, documenting, disassembling, and preparing your engine for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspections.
    • Inspections: We conduct initial inspections in-house. Critical components also undergo specialized testing by certified third-party companies.
    • Communication and Parts: Once inspections are complete, we will contact you if any significant issues are found that could affect the original quote, such as the need for major replacement parts.
    • External Services: Depending on the required work (e.g., repairs, re-grinding, polishing), certain components may need to be sent to specialized external suppliers.
    • Reassembly and Final Checks: After all necessary work is completed, the engine is reassembled and undergoes thorough quality checks.
    • Paperwork: Finally, we meticulously complete all required documentation, including the engine logbook, to ensure compliance with aviation regulations.

Please note that your engine will be ready for pickup or shipment upon receipt of full payment.
