Engineering beyond the original support lifecycle.
Maintenance and engineering support for adversary air and Red Air operators, with a focus on availability, ageing propulsion systems and sustainable fleet operations.
Work scopes are established against the relevant engine or aircraft variant, applicable technical documentation, condition and regulatory approval requirements. We support individual work packages and longer-term fleet programmes.
What we support
Technical capabilities.
Legacy propulsion
Specialist jet engine inspections, hot-section support, technical investigations and component sourcing.
Continuing airworthiness
Continuing airworthiness management and technical records support within applicable approvals and arrangements.
Retained engineering support
Longer-term technical resource, on-site assistance and specialist repair programme coordination.
Design and repair engineering
Engineering routes for obsolescence.
Where existing maintenance or repair data is insufficient, AFM can work with a UK CAA BCAR A8-21 approved design organisation partner on engineering substantiation and proposed major or minor modifications and repairs, including airframe and turbine-related changes. Approval depends on the specific technical scope and applicable regulatory route.
Our partner design approval is distinct from AFM maintenance and continuing airworthiness approvals. We can also support reverse engineering and technical substantiation for obsolete components, material substitutions and proposed repair schemes, subject to the relevant approval pathway.
