Production Oversight
|
In the event that a client
requires a brand new aircraft tailored to their exact operational
needs, Avia is available to fully negotiate the acquisition
with the manufacturer, provide its advice on the aircraft
specification and to oversee the original production process.
Avia's negotiating team has conducted new aircraft acquisitions
measured in the billions of dollars.
Avia
is uniquely prepared for green production oversight projects,
having one key team member with more than twenty years in
OEM production management and allied functions. We are experienced
in all aspects of green production, including: AD, SB and
advisory processes; modifications; the “infant mortality”
rate of brand new parts; the protection of clients interests;
and the analysis of, documentation of, and the remedy of,
minor and major production damage and anomalies. Avia is also
experienced in the monitoring of: fuel calibration; flight
control rigging; entrance door rigging; cabin pressure testing;
hydraulic and avionic function testing; and other production
protocol.

Green
Acceptance
| When
the aircraft comes off the initial production line, it is awarded
its Certificate of Airworthiness. It is then offered to the
customer for acceptance in its “Green” state (without
interior, paint or optional equipment).
This is a key time in construction and financial
terms. Significant final testing, including: tolerance checks;
steps and gaps measurement; engine performance runs; and other
function tests are worked off under Avia supervision. If all
the issues are nominal or appropriate to carry forward as
“green snags,” then the Purchaser funds the balance
due. When the manufacturer also contracts to do the completion
work, this date may be the benchmark for any negotiated penalty
clause calculations.
The aircraft is
then prepared for repositioning to, and induction into, the
completion center. Contemporaneously, Avia confirms and monitors
the completion center’s readiness to start work immediately
upon the arrival of the aircraft.
