OUR PROCESS
INCOMING
It is important, upon receiving a shipment, to make sure that the material meets quality specifications. If it is of great importance that no defects in quality exist, you will probably want to run a quality check on each item of the entire shipment.
- Receiving
- Incoming Inspection
- Preliminary Test
EVALUATION
Inspections are visual examinations and manual checks to determine the condition of an aircraft or component. An aircraft inspection can range from a casual walkaround to a detailed inspection involving complete disassembly and the use of complex inspection aids.
- Functional Test
- Disassemble
- Evaluation
FINALIZATION
All of the final assembly lines are organised in a similar manner by stations, each performing a specific task in the aircraft’s assembly and systems testing. A320 fuselages arrive at the line in two segments, which are joined to begin the aircraft build-up sequence.

INCOMING
It is important, upon receiving a shipment, to make sure that the material meets quality specifications. If it is of great importance that no defects in quality exist, you will probably want to run a quality check on each item of the entire shipment.
In some cases, however, defective material could pass through manufacturing operations unnoticed, or a problem in production could be the fault of your people. In such situations, it is wise to conduct a quality check of materials, upon receiving the shipment.
EVALUATION
An inspection system consists of several processes,
including reports made by mechanics or the pilot or
crew flying an aircraft and regularly scheduled inspections
of an aircraft. An inspection system is designed to maintain an aircraft in the best possible condition.
Thorough and repeated inspections must be considered
the backbone of a good maintenance program. Irregular
and haphazard inspection will invariably result in
gradual and certain deterioration of an aircraft. The time spent in repairing an abused aircraft often totals far more than any time saved in hurrying through routine inspections and maintenance.
FINALIZATION
All of the final assembly lines are organised in a similar manner by stations, each performing a specific task in the aircraft’s assembly and systems testing. A320 fuselages arrive at the line in two segments, which are joined to begin the aircraft build-up sequence. The completed, joined fuselage is lifted into a position where the two wings are mated and engine pylons and landing gear fitted.
The A320 Family jetliners then move to a multi-purpose bay for system tests, and the aircraft is readied for cabin installation. This clears the way for the final operations: engine installation, fuel and pressurization tests, painting, engine run-up and flight testing, followed by aircraft acceptance and delivery.
