FAQs

Getting to Know Engine StandThe AGSE Engine Stand PW4000/JT9D represents a pinnacle of aviation maintenance equipment, specifically engineered for handling Pratt & Whitney’s PW4000 and JT9D series engines. This versatile low-profile shipping stand combines robust construction with practical functionality, making it an indispensable tool for engine maintenance operations. Manufactured with high-grade structural steel conforming to ASTM standards, the stand features a Skydrol-resistant enamel coating that ensures longevity and protection against harsh aviation fluids.

Features and Applications Engine StandThis engine stand excels in versatility and operational efficiency. Its bootstrap capability enables seamless engine removal and installation operations, particularly optimized for MD-11 aircraft. The stand’s mobility system features four heavy-duty shock-absorbing caster assemblies, each equipped with 5″ wide x 10″ diameter polyurethane tread wheels. These wheels, rated at 5,000 LBS capacity each, ensure stable movement and precise positioning during maintenance procedures. The stand’s design prioritizes safety and convenience, incorporating position locks and face brakes on all casters. For transportation, it can be towed at speeds up to 3 MPH (5 Km/h) from either end. A secured document container on the base provides convenient storage for essential maintenance documentation. The stand’s compatibility with major freight aircraft, including B747, DC-10, and MD-11, enhances its logistics versatility.

Technical Design and EngineeringThe engineering excellence of this stand is evident in its adaptable design and robust construction. External truck shipping shock mounts provide additional protection during transportation. The stand’s dimensions are optimized for both storage and operational efficiency, with adjustable height capabilities through extended casters. Its structural integrity is maintained even under maximum load conditions, demonstrating AGSE’s commitment to safety and reliability in aviation maintenance equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lead time for gas turbine overhaul services?

The lead time for gas turbine overhaul services ranges from 6 to 14 weeks, depending on the damage assessment, parts availability, and whether hot-section repairs are required. Expedited options may reduce this by 30%.
Do you provide customizations for legacy turbine control systems?

Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
How often should industrial gas turbines undergo performance testing?

We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
Are your radiation-hardened (rad-hard) semiconductors compliant with MIL-PRF-38535?

All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
What temperature ranges do your military-grade ICs support?

Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Are PMA parts interchangeable with OEM components?

Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
What traceability standards do you follow for aircraft fasteners?

All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
How do you handle urgent AOG (Aircraft on Ground) requests?

AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
