One year after announcing its agreement with Honeywell to serve as the only authorized TFE731 heavy engine maintenance facility located in the Europe, Middle East, Africa and India (EMEAI) region, StandardAero’s Fleetlands, U.K., facility has also been granted European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification by the U.K. Civil Aviation Authority. The EASA approval follows Honeywell’s certification of the Fleetlands’ test cell earlier this month.
Both certifications follow several months of test cell modifications at Fleetlands, culminating in the successful testing of TFE731-5BR and TFE731-60 model engines where test data from these engines was also tested and correlated within a Honeywell production test cell located in Phoenix, Arizona.
In addition to engine MRO services, StandardAero is authorized to perform line level maintenance on Honeywell 36-series APUs at the Fleetlands facility and the company is continuing with expanding Mobile Service Teams in EMEAI to provide on-site service to the approximately 600 business aviation operators in the region.
