Flight Support has a sterling “track record” consisting
of competitive pricing, on time delivery, and distinguished quality
standards. It is recognized that the price for a blade failure
is the highest of all prices to pay.
Engine build schedules are sacrosanct and Flight Support PERFORMS
at what ever level is necessary to provide product on time.
Flight Support uses a proprietary inspection to verify that
the correct material was deposited as a result of the restorative
welding process. The inspection avoids premature blade wear.
All blades are machined using proprietary processes that ensure
minimum heat exposure and exacting and repetitive dimensional
control.
Ongoing development of the “state of the art” continues
at Flight Support. Close coordination with Pratt & Whitney
engineering has resulted in improvements in methods of measurement
as well as standards for acceptance. It is with pride that Flight
Support is used as a practicing example of how to properly repair
a turbine blade.
Industry officials do not recognize a measurement method for
verifying that parts have been shot peened properly. Flight Support
has developed a proprietary process that measures “saturation.”
Every turbine blade airfoil has a detailed and specific repair,
unique to its actual condition. FOD, cracks, flaws, etc. are identified
by and only by Inspectors. The blades are individually marked
and only marked areas are corrected. This extends blade life since
only minimal material is lost in the air foil restorative process.
