Technical acceptance of a new aircraft commences at the green aircraft stage, continues through the interior completion process and culminates at final acceptance and delivery. Pre-owned aircraft requiring refurbishment also require a great deal of attention to technical issues. MAC will represent the buyer in all related technical issues thus ensuring a quality product, cost and time savings and a timely delivery. MAC will implement a comprehensive reporting system for our clients, allowing them to keep abreast of all issues throughout the project.

Pre-Purchase Inspections

Prior to the contractual acceptance of a new or pre-owned aircraft, MAC can conduct a comprehensive Pre-Purchase Inspection. This includes a complete review of the interior and exterior quality standard, Specification, Service Bulletins, Airworthiness Directives, discrepancies, life limited components, systems installations and flight test results. A detailed report including photographs will be produced that can be used as a basis for final contract negotiation and future warranty claims.

Green Aircraft Inspections

Technical acceptance of the green aircraft includes the review of functional test results, identifying deviations between as-built and as-designed configurations, defect review, and documentation control. We will perform detailed inspections on the airframe, engine, components and accessories to identify any undocumented damage, problems or future concerns. A thorough document review will be conducted to detect any possible discrepancies on major part changes, serial number listings, modification status, flight test and production test data.

Delivery Acceptance

During the interior completion process, we will monitor all technical aspects of the aircraft including production drawings, airframe/engine/system build quality, defects, ground and flight test results, serialized component list, certification documentation, Service Bulletin incorporation and product improvements. During final acceptance, a final review of all documents including the AFM, component handbooks, warranty paperwork and passenger briefing cards will be conducted. Conformity of placards, circuit breaker layouts, switch panels, etc. will be assured. MAC will also conduct a detailed inspection of all loose equipment and spares. A final report outlining the open items at delivery will be produced, providing a means to track all remaining issues.
