Heavy Checks and Maintenance
Heavy checks are one of the most critical services an aircraft undergoes during its operational life. These checks involve a comprehensive examination of the aircraft’s structure, systems, components, and engines, including detailed structural inspections, system overhauls, and component replacements. Airframe heavy maintenance is an integral part of these checks, thoroughly assessing structural components for wear and damage. These checks serve a dual purpose: confirming that the aircraft is in good working order and helping identify potential issues before they escalate. This proactive approach to airframe maintenance helps keep the aircraft safe and operational while extending its overall lifespan.
In addition to airframe checks and engine maintenance, landing gear inspections are a key aspect of heavy maintenance. Regular landing gear checks are essential for maintaining the safety and integrity of an aircraft. Our state-of-the-art hangar facilities can accommodate any aircraft size, including the Airbus A380. Our facilities are designed to offer the highest level of safety and efficiency, featuring the latest tools and technology to perform inspections, repairs, and replacements. When an aircraft undergoes a heavy check at ComAv, every aircraft part is thoroughly examined to comply with both FAA and EASA regulations.
Heavy checks are essential for regulatory compliance. These comprehensive inspections not only identify wear and tear or system failures but are also required by aviation authorities to maintain the operational certification of the aircraft. Regular heavy checks help maintain safety standards, which is vital for any operator to keep their fleet’s airworthiness intact.
