Johannesburg – ExecuJet MRO Services Africa\u2019s Maintenance Supervisor for Engines, Frank Oberholzer, has successfully completed advanced training on engines at Honeywell in the US, graduating from the course with the title of \u2018Master Technician.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly ten engineers in the world, including Frank, have the title of \u2018Master Technician\u2019 from Honeywell engines,\u201d says Vince Goncalves, Regional VP Africa at ExecuJet MRO Services.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a significant milestone for Frank and for ExecuJet MRO Services Africa, because it highlights our advanced engine MRO capabilities,\u201d says Goncalves.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is also testimony to our investment in training and continuous learning,\u201d he adds. \u201cFrank\u2019s accreditation further reinforces ExecuJet MRO Services\u2019 positioning as a world-class authorized Honeywell engine facility. We have all the necessary engineering capability and expertise to perform major repairs on TFE731 engines. With over 18 major repairs and over 22 engine-related MRTs (major repair times) \u00a0performed over the past 16 months, our engine facility has the reputation in Africa and globally for being experts on TFE products.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oberholzer started his aviation career with the South African Air Force in 2006. After joining ExecuJet in 2016 as a TFE731 engineer, he \u00a0obtained his licenses on the entire TFE731 range at the company\u2019s engine shop in Lanseria near Johannesburg. He was bestowed the title of \u2018master technician\u2019 by Honeywell engines after completing the master course at its engine training facility in Phoenix, Arizona.<\/p>\n
ExecuJet MRO Services Africa is an authorised service centre for Honeywell engines and works primarily on TPE331 turboprop and\u00a0TFE731\u00a0turbofan engines. It has 14 personnel in its engine MRO facility.<\/p>\n
The TFE731 powers many models of Bombardier Learjet including the Learjet 45. It also powers the Hawker 800 and other Falcons models including the Falcon 50 and Falcon\u00a0900 series aircraft.<\/p>\n
ExecuJet MRO Services Africa – which is based at Lanseria International Airport – is approved, for example, to do hot-section inspections (MPI) on the TFE731. This involves disassembling the engine\u2019s hot section to determine if the engine’s parts are showing signs of wear\u00a0and require replacement.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
