Overhaul Process
For over four decades, S & T Aircraft has proudly delivered world-class aircraft maintenance services with an unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer care. Our dedication to excellence has earned us a global reputation as a trusted authority in vintage, radial, and turbine engine components—trusted not only by operators, but by the aviation industry at large.
Our team of technicians undergoes extensive, hands-on training alongside seasoned experts, ensuring they meet the highest standards of precision and performance. Whether you’re flying for business, agriculture, warbird exhibition, or adventure, you can count on S & T Aircraft to provide the support and reliability needed to keep you flying with confidence.
All overhauls are performed in-house at our FAA-certified repair station and can be shipped directly to you—anywhere in the world. From the moment your components arrive, we initiate a thorough shipping damage inspection to catch any transit-related issues right away. If damage is found, we’ll contact you immediately so you can begin the insurance claim process without delay.
Once cleared, your components move into our teardown department, where they are completely disassembled and meticulously cleaned. From there, they head to our main shop floor for a comprehensive inspection. If any parts beyond the standard overhaul scope are found to require replacement, we’ll reach out with a detailed quote for your approval.
After approval, your unit is skillfully reassembled, rigorously tested, and carefully packed for return shipment—ready to perform to its fullest potential.
At S & T Aircraft, we don’t just overhaul components—we deliver peace of mind, one aircraft at a time.
Repair Process
At S & T Aircraft, we understand that not every component issue requires a full overhaul. In many cases, a targeted repair is all that’s needed to get your part back in service—saving you both time and money. While some components must be overhauled due to their condition or regulatory requirements, many can be repaired effectively and safely. That’s why we proudly offer repair services as a practical alternative, and you can trust that we’ll never recommend an overhaul unless it’s truly necessary.
Our repair process mirrors our overhaul procedures in many ways, but with important differences based on the nature of the issue and the type of component—whether it’s electrical, mechanical, or hydraulic.
For fluid-operated components, the process begins with a complete teardown and a full fluid flush to prevent contamination of our precision test equipment. Electrical units receive a detailed preliminary inspection to identify damaged or faulty parts before testing begins. Mechanical components, depending on the complexity, are often tested right away to assess performance and isolate any issues.
Once the preliminary evaluations are complete, each component undergoes a diagnostic test to confirm the reported issue and check for any additional concerns. After identifying the necessary repairs, the unit is moved to the main shop floor where the work is performed with care and precision.
Following repair, your component is reassembled, thoroughly tested to ensure functionality and reliability, and then carefully packaged and shipped back to you—ready for service.
At S & T Aircraft, we’re committed to doing what’s right for you and your aircraft—because integrity, efficiency, and safety are at the heart of everything we do.
