Assembly Tooling

Genova was recently contracted to develop tooling for elements of a passenger to cargo aircraft modification. Below is an example of an alignment and drill fixture for a double frame. This is a componen t of a pre-assembly tooling set (some structure shown removed for clarity of illustration).

Engineering Orders for Repairs

Aircraft repairs must be performed using approved methods. Often these can be accomplished by referring to the OEM's Structural Repair Manual (SRM). When the scope of repair falls outside the practices outlined in the SRM, a repair must be designed and approved by a Designated Engineering Representative (DER). Genova Engineering is well versed in creating Engineering Orders (EO) which cover these types of repairs and more. Here's a recent *oops* that happened during routine maintenance and the repair EO which was subsequently generated.
