One of many actions MDH is taking to improve aftermarket support, this cooperation with Able Aerospace will allow it to reduce overhaul costs and prices by repairing and refurbishing corroded or pitted parts.

Textron has successfully completed static and cyclic testing of the Citation CJ3 main landing gear with up to five lifetimes (75,000 landings) of the gear's life limit to substantiate the repair safe-life.

Four years after joining the Textron stable Able Aerospace already has 1,500 customers around the world, and a major extension to its component repair and overhaul facilities should see this number grow still further.
