CESA continues making progress with the policy of boosting its MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) activities, in fulfilment of the commitments undertaken with the Maintenance Centre that AMNA (AIRBUS MILITARY NORTH AMERICA) owns in Mobile (Alabama) at the signing of the contract between the two companies in July 2012.
The actions completed or currently under way in the training area are outlined below:
Training Course on the hydraulics of the CN-235, hydraulics of the C-212 and on the C-212 landing gear.
A four-person team made up of fitters and testers from AMNA travelled to CESA for 5 weeks and the results at the end of the course met both companies’ expectations.
CN-235 Landing Gear Overhaul Cours.
The goals sought are to:
– Consolidate the Training of AMNA in CESA for subsequent execution of landing gear overhauls (OH) on CN-235 aircraft at AMNA facilities.
– Verify that AMNA’s solution and ability will allow them to carry out the overhaul of CN-235 landing gear.
– Establish a list of activities to complete between AMNA and CESA that would ensure that the two preceding points are achieved.
– Establish the scope of the support activities that CESA will have to provide AMNA once this project is declared finished.
In short, with this landing gear OH course, CESA shows its commitment to AMNA – and, ultimately, to the AIRBUS Group – in the pursuit of increased MRO market share in the USA, grounded in the provision of a reliable, quality, OEM-approved product, whereby AMNA’s success will be our success and, in the long term, the success of the whole AIRBUS Group.
