Services during aircraft acquisition
1.1 Remarketing Support Services, assist (start-up) operators in evaluating the introduction of a Fokker aircraft type into their fleet. Tailored studies can be carried out on the operational and/or technical suitability and the economic viability of the Fokker aircraft. Such studies may include customized performance studies, operating costs and/or fleet commonality analyses.
1.2 Aircraft Validation Services, provide assistance to an owner or operator having a Type Certificate for a Fokker aircraft type validated by the National Airworthiness Authority (NAA) of the country of registration. If required, assistance can also be provided to obtain a Certificate of Airworthiness for individual aircraft in the fleet of an operator.
1.3 Pre-acquisition Survey and Inspection, consists of expert assistance in both reviewing and auditing the technical records and establishing the technical status of the aircraft. In consultation with the (start-up) operator, extensive functional and operational checks of the major aircraft systems can be carried out to provide an in-depth look at the aircraft’s maintenance status and condition.
1.4 Pre-delivery Maintenance and Re-configuration, is set up to bring the aircraft to the desired maintenance status and configuration. The need for pre-delivery maintenance and re-configuration can be derived from one of the following sources:
- maintenance and modifications, due to the aircraft
- maintenance and modifications, found to be required as a result of a pre-lease or pre-purchase inspection
- re-configuration, dictated by the NAA of the country of operation, e.g. as a result of the aircraft validation exercise
- re-configuration, required by the operator in order to be able to fulfill the required mission profile or meet fleet commonality.
