Supplies for Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO)
Complete aircraft MRO jobs safely by using the appropriate tools for each job
Parts and supplies for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) must meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. It is very important that you carefully consider the parts you purchase as well as the companies from which you purchase the supplies.In order to complete every aviation MRO job efficiently and safely, consider the following suggestions:
1. Make safety a priority by using all necessary safety equipment to complete aviation MRO jobs.
2. Ensure that you have all of the aircraft repair tools on hand you need to complete a job safely on any aircraft.
3. Use aircraft parts that meet or exceed all FAA standards on all maintenance, repair, overhaul and inspection jobs you complete.
Keep aircraft repair tools on hand
Specialized tools are needed to perform regular maintenance, repair, overhaul and inspect airplanes and helicopters. Keeping the supplies necessary to do any job on an aircraft is imperative since all work done must meet FAA standards and protocol. You need testers, lockwire twisters, hand tools, riveting supplies, power tools and specialized aircraft attachments for those tools.
Try: Brown Tool offers a varied selection of aircraft tools, including testers that meet or exceed FAA specifications. Spenro Aircraft Tool Supply sells aviation tools, including riveting supplies and aviation hand tools. You can even find some discontinued items at deeply discounted prices.
Purchase aircraft parts that meet all federal requirements
Any aircraft parts you replace, even bolts, must meet FAA standards. Purchasing these items from reputable companies ensures that the items meet or exceed all standards. Keep in mind that you should purchase only enough items to last roughly six months as the standards change often and you don't want to have surplus on hand that isn't suitable to use because of new standards.
Try: BPB Surplus offers a varied selection of used aircraft parts. TGH Aviation sells aircraft parts, including emergency supplies. This company has an online library of articles to help you determine what parts you need to complete many aviation MRO jobs.
