What is on your MRO’s Final Delivery Checklist?
Every aircraft Maintenance Repair Organization (MRO) has a checklist of activities they perform before handing the keys back to the operator. Below is what you might find on the Duncan Aviation Delivery Checklist.
The Final Delivery Checklist
- Meetings at the aircraft with all team members
- System function checks in the hangar
- Pressurization of the aircraft
- Pitot status checks
- Weighing of the aircraft
- Airframe and engine runs
- Compass swings
- Test flight
- Paint touch up
- Aircraft interior and exterior cleaning
- Paperwork complete
- Maintenance entries complete
No matter how you look at it, the delivery of the aircraft is an important part of each project. For the customer it can feel like a brand new aircraft, for the maintenance team it represents a huge sense of accomplishment and for the Project Manager, it’s all in a days work. It is all about Customer Service.
