AAR selected by GE Aviation to upgrade main landing gear door actuator

AAR has been selected by GE Aviation as an Authorized Service Center to retrofit the main landing gear door actuators on A318, A319, A320, and A321 aircraft with improved hydraulic actuators. AAR will handle the work at its Landing Gear Services MRO facility in Miami. That 128,000-ft² site added tooling capabilities and manpower to ensure that it could meet the requirements of GE’s program, which includes a 10-day turnaround time, and the needs of A320 customers. AAR had to go through a rigorous selection process, more than a year in the making that included on-site visits by GE and demonstrations of its tooling capabilities.
