Engine Shop Visit Management

---

An engine shop visit is your largest maintenance spend — and a commercial, records, lease, and regulatory event all at once. The shop performs the work, but the owner controls the outcome. KRD Aviation manages the visit on your behalf, protecting cost, schedule, records, and the long-term value of the asset.

We stay engaged at every stage of the visit, not just at the quote — because that's where cost grows, schedules slip, and records gaps appear:

· Strategy first — defining acceptable material (OEM, USM, PMA, DER repairs, exchange) and build standard based on whether the engine will keep flying, sell, or come off lease

· Intake & inventory control — documenting engine and stand condition at induction and inventorying LRU and QEC parts before disassembly

· Scrap & disposition review — challenging unserviceable findings with manual references before parts are scrapped

· Outside-repair tracking — monitoring vendor turn times on the parts actually driving your engine's schedule

· Real-time cost control — a live estimate-at-completion so the final invoice is never the first time you see the number

· Assembly, test cell & records — validating test-cell acceptance and a records package that supports return to service, sale, lease placement, or financing

The right shop visit strategy depends on who owns the engine and what the asset must do next. We manage visits for:

· Airlines — protecting turn time, spare-engine availability, and cost control

· Lessors — protecting marketability, clean records, LLP visibility, and lease economics

· Private & internationally operated owners — navigating material, traceability, and jurisdictional restrictions

Engagements are custom-scoped to the size of the event, the number of proposals, document complexity, and how much oversight you want. Support can run behind the scenes for your team, or as your active commercial representative in shop and MRO discussions.

The best-managed shop visits aren't the ones where you wait for the final invoice. They're the ones where you know, at every stage, what is happening, why, what it costs, how it affects schedule, and how it affects the future value of your engine.
