StandardAero receives FAA certification of San Antonio RB211-535 Test Cell; now processing engines for multiple customer:
7 November 2019: StandardAero has obtained FAA approval for acceptance testing of the Rolls-Royce RB211-535 turbofan engine at its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in San Antonio, Texas.
Earlier, a test cell correlation effort was undertaken in partnership with the engine manufacturer which marks StandardAero's attainment of full capability on the RB211-535, in support of the life-of-type maintenance services partnership signed with Rolls-Royce in 2018.
According to the partnership agreement, responsibility for RB211-535 in-service support is being moved from Rolls-Royce's Derby, UK location to StandardAero's 810,000 sq. ft. facility in San Antonio.
StandardAero's RB211 team had obtained EASA and FAA certification for engine disassembly, cleaning, inspection, repair, assembly and test, and correlation of the San Antonio facility's RB211 test cells now has engine performance testing to be completed on-site, prior to engine redelivery to customers.
"StandardAero is now delivering on its promise to provide RB211-535 operators with reliable go-forward support for this acclaimed engine family," said Roger Ross, President - Airlines & Fleets. "As a result of the significant investment made by StandardAero in this new capability over the past twenty months, we have now set-up all of our production rate ready work cells, and are continuing to ramp-up inductions following successful customer audits. Thanks to the support of Rolls-Royce, we now have full capability on the RB211-535 to service the needs of the global Boeing 757 operator community over the coming decades.".
