This repair licensing agreement with Ametek Singapore for Honeywell flight Data Recorders (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR) will be the first for both parties in Asia-Pacific.
The repair licensing agreement between Honeywell and Ametek Singapore will run for five years.
This partnership extends the strategic collaboration between both parties, enhancing Ametek’s recorder repair capabilities in the region and solidifying Honeywell’s position as an industry leader in flight recorders for the commercial aviation industry.
“As Honeywell continues to forge strategic alliances to advance our aerospace capabilities, we are excited to embark on this partnership with Ametek.
“Ametek’s commitment to maintenance excellence aligns seamlessly with Honeywell’s dedication to delivering highquality solutions.
“Together, we look forward to providing airline customers around the region with exceptional service and safety standards,” said Eric Ai, vice president of APAC Airlines, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies.
“This agreement expands our long-standing relationship with Honeywell and strengthens our presence in the market. Honeywell has confidence in our OEM-trained technicians and our extensive history of customer support.
“Importantly, Ametek MRO offers a highly diverse range of sustainable OEM support programmes and we are passionate about keeping units on-wing and back to serviceable condition as quickly as possible,” says David Corish, divisional vice president and general manager of Ametek Singapore PTE.
FDRs are critical as they passively collect large amounts of information from multiple sources during each flight.
This includes cockpit voice data, or communication between pilots in the cockpit as well as between pilots and air traffic controllers. It also includes flight data, or the in-flight performance of the aircraft systems.
