6 Tips To Help You Hire The Best Aircraft Part Repair Station
How To Easily Predict Your Repair Turn-Around-Times And Make You Look Good
Every aircraft part repair station has two turn-around-times (TAT).
How long the component will take to get evaluated and how long the work order will take once approved.
We'll call these pre-work order quote time and post-approval repair time.
Here’s how you to take the guesswork out of your TATs and better predict your next repair turn-around-time.
How an MRO uses options to save you time and money
In the aircraft part repair world, your MRO should be your ally.
Your ally, or your partner, should be there to make the process as easy as possible for you. To really be effective, they should give you options to save you money, work around issues when they arise and lower your turn-around times.
Choose a Repair Partner with True Service Excellence

Is your repair partner telling you everything you need to know?
When you get quotes for your aircraft part repair, you’ll often get a single bundle quote. It’s just a rate. Pay it or leave it.
What if you could provide your own piece parts to lower the cost? What if you could use an unserviceable unit, and cannibalize it for parts? What if there was a better option, that had your best interests at heart?
MROs lack transparency.

You’ve been there….
when your MRO is really stringent on their processes and procedures that they have very little wiggle room on how things get done.
Yes, quality is incredibly important but it doesn’t always help you solve your problems or meet your operational goals.
One of the top qualities in an MRO that makes them a unicorn is the trait of flexibility.
THIS Quality Makes Your Repair Partner a Unicorn
It’s a hidden treasure. Flexibility is often very difficult to find… but when you do, it’s golden.
Of course, policies and procedures have their place, and in many cases they’re there for a good reason.
But not if it hinders getting your job done the fastest, most affordable way possible.
