Caring for the Aircraft Engine Lifecycle to Ensure Safety, Longevity

Since 1990, Unical Aviation has served aviation businesses of all types worldwide. Over the years, the company has grown and expanded to offer more than just aircraft parts and components. Today, the company helps aircraft owners and managers with every aspect of the aircraft engine lifecycle, from procurement to ongoing maintenance.

Engines are one of Unical’s many specialties. With a skilled team, the company has deep knowledge of the aircraft engine lifecycle and is prepared to service various engines from sourcing to refurbishment.

Having an engine partner with end-to-end engine expertise can ensure you get the most from such an expensive investment. Learn more about how Unical supports aviation businesses through the various stages of caring for an aircraft engine and why it is the ideal partner for this service.

Engine Acquisition: How We Source a Quality Piece

Since Unical’s first engine disassembly in 2001, the company has been committed to quality and service previously unheard of in the industry. 

The expert team carefully sources its aircraft engines to find those that have been well-maintained and properly cared for. In the case of poorly cared for engines, Unical has the resources to overhaul the engine to restore it to its original smooth operation. 

Unical uses a network of contacts and sources to find the engine its clients seek. Drawing on decades of aviation experience, the team follows stringent acquisition criteria to select the best engines based on quality, reliability and performance.

While the process can take months to find the best of the best, customers are impressed by how hands-off they can be in the process as the Unical Aviation team becomes an extension of their team, taking on the procurement process from start to finish.

Engine Maintenance: Ensuring Peak Performance

Once an aviation company has the best engines to power its aircraft, the work of the engine lifecycle continues. They must ensure the engine is at peak performance with proper engine maintenance.

Unical has an impressive FAA and EASA-certified repair station that oversees aircraft inspection, maintenance, repair, and alteration. Here, Unical helps companies oversee regular preventative maintenance to ensure aircraft and engines remain at peak performance.

Timely preventative maintenance can help prolong an engine's life and reduce its operational expenses. The better the maintenance schedule, the fewer repairs the engine will likely need, which also means fewer disruptions to the aviation business. Prolonging an engine's life means fewer overhauls and more flight cycles before showing signs of wear.

And because Unical cares for the whole aircraft, aviation businesses can rely on the Unical team to provide all maintenance at once, ensuring the aircraft is only out of commission once for all maintenance requirements.

Engine Refurbishment: Restoring Engines to Optimal Condition

Aircraft engines can only complete so many cycles before it is time to refurbish and overhaul them to keep them performing at their peak and keep them safe to continue operating. Whether you’ve acquired a used engine and need to prepare it for use or you’re ready to overhaul an engine from your fleet, Unical has the expertise to restore the engine to its like-new condition.

Engine refurbishment involves disassembling the engine. Skilled technicians then scrutinize all components. The Unical team will then replace any worn or damaged parts. Then they carefully reassemble the machine. The engine then undergoes stringent testing to ensure it is operating at its optimal performance.

When done well, the process restores aircraft engines to like-new condition, extending their operating life and offering greater reliability to aircraft companies.

Regulations and engine manufacturers strictly govern the timeline for engine overhauls based on flight hours or cycles.

Selecting the Best Engine Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Partner

Proper aircraft engine care is an integral part of any aviation business. Who you choose as your MRO partner will dictate operation costs and engine life. 

Unical is staffed and equipped to handle the engine lifecycle from end to end to ensure cost-effective procurement and long life for the engine. Combining outstanding procurement skills with maintenance that extends the engine’s life provides incredible value to aviation businesses.
