MAINTENANCE / REFURBISHMENT & AVIONICS FEATURE

57 www.saflyer.com | November 2019

SUPPLEMENT INTRODUCTION

AIRCRAFT & AVIONICS MAINTENANCE & REFURBISHMENT The pleasure – albeit transient – of owning a brand spanking new aircraft has become exponentially more expensive and thus out of the reach of many. The benefit of this for South Africa’s thankfully still deep repository of skills in aviation maintenance is a thriving industry refurbishing old aircraft.

King Air range in particular, but also handle Cessna Caravans and Piper Cheyennes.

The engine upgrade that put Blackhawk on the map is its Beechcraft King Air 200 engine replacement. Blackhawk offers no less than three engine upgrade packages for King Air 200s. The three upgrades are the XP42, XP52 and XP61 and they all generate important performance and savings benefits, yet each package has distinctive characteristics to benefit specific flight requirements and profiles.

Some of

the key benefits include: an increased rate T is not uncommon to find 60 year old airframes being refurbished to genuinely better than new condition, thanks

and in particular updated avionics.

The more so since ‘glass cockpit’ instrumentation has become more

affordable and easy to install – even in type certified aircraft.

The refurbishment industry has made it possible to own 60-year old aircraft that are as good as new. With a lot of added sexy new avionics kit, such as terrain avoidance systems that a 1966 C182 would have lacked because those systems had not yet been invented.

These days a reasonably preserved used Cessna 182 with perhaps a midlife engine can be bought for around R1 million –

Paint schemes can be customised to any design as for example SA Flyer's Piper Saratoga.

PAINT AND INTERIORS It’s not just about engines and avionics – refurbishment customers want their planes to look like new. All good paint shops start with a complete paint strip and prime, followed by three coats of base paint with additional coats for the colour. Decals are also becoming an increasingly popular option.

Specialist painters can do custom paint schemes as was the case with the ‘better visibility’ yellow extremities we had on our C182 and the ‘heart attack’ scheme on our Saratoga. This scheme was designed by our artist Darren Edward O’Neil and we were so pleased we added his signature. Darren will propose a sketch layout and then, with painstaking attention to detail and proportion, make sure it is applied as intended to the physical requirements of the actual aircraft.

A key point to remember when repainting aircraft is that it must be done by an approved maintenance organisation as the control surfaces have to be removed and then professionally rebalanced before installation.

Interiors are another essential cosmetic item – most owners elect to use wool carpeting, and new padding and leather covering for seats. All material must have a fire certificate – so this is also not a job for non-aircraft approved suppliers, even if they are much cheaper. Another popular aftermarket option are airbags – built into the seat-belt for the front two seats, as well as new LED lights and new plastic window reveals.

South Africa is blessed to still have such a deep legacy of aircraft refurbishment skills and it remains a pleasant antidote to the increasingly unaffordable new aircraft prices.
