With the right avionics test equipment, maintenance could be done quicker, troubleshooting would become simpler and aircraft downtime a breeze. Exchanging/adding test equipment can be a costly undertaking in and of itself—particularly when new components are introduced at the top of pricing or delivery timelines.

This is why AvionTEq has launched its latest Avionics Test Equipment Inventory Sale is worth a closer look.

This is a chance for MROs, repair stations, avionics shops and aircraft operators to procure select test equipment at preferential inventory pricing with additional calibration, warranty and technical support options on eligible units.

Get the Equipment You Need Without Paying More Than Necessary

There are also practical scenarios where buying completely new equipment is simply not an option.

If you need dependable avionics test capability but want to minimize acquisition costs, certified refurbished avionics test equipment can be an extremely good option.

The larger issue for most maintenance organizations is not whether the equipment is new, but rather if the unit is reliable, in correct calibration, set up to run right and ready to be there when needed.

Which is where profitably chosen refurbished kit comes in.

The benefits may vary by unit, but could include:

• Significant savings compared with new equipment

• Faster availability

• Current or fresh calibration on qualifying units

• Warranty coverage on selected equipment

• Access to discontinued or difficult-to-source models

• A practical way to add backup test capability

• Technical support when selecting the right solution

Reduce Downtime and Keep Maintenance Moving

Maintenance schedules can easily slow down when critical test equipment is not available.

Adding a second or replacement test set can eliminate bottlenecks in facilities that support multiple aircraft, multiple technicians or different maintenance locations.

Buying from available inventory can be especially useful when you need equipment quickly and cannot wait several months for a manufacturer lead time.

This can also be a good alternative if the current tester is being repaired, becoming unreliable or using older hardware and not supported by the manufacturer.

A Smart Way to Expand Your Test Equipment Inventory

A problem many organizations run into is that they do not buy new test equipment until a maintenance bottleneck happens.

But, by continuing to keep backup capability, such interruptions can be reduced.

Certified refurbished aviation test equipment is an important option for:

• Expanding maintenance capacity

• Equipping additional workstations or locations

• Replacing aging test sets

• Adding backup equipment for critical applications

• Supporting occasional or specialized testing requirements

• Managing capital equipment budgets more effectively

Rather than spend big bucks on equipment that may only see limited use, a refurbished unit can often give you the capability you require for a much more palatable price tag.

What Should You Check Before Purchasing?

Price matters, but the right equipment should also be compatible with your technical and operational needs.

Make sure of the following before buying certified refurbished avionics test equipment:

Calibration

Speak with the dealer about if they deliver you equipment with recent or new calibration, plus what documentation will meet the requirements of your branch.

Warranty

Review the warranty provided with the equipment and what it covers.

Accessories

Confirm whether required cables, adapters, probes, antennas, cases, power supplies, and other accessories are included.

Configuration

Some avionics test sets are available with different options, software, and configurations. Make sure the specific unit supports the functions you need.

Application Compatibility

Confirm that the equipment is appropriate for your aircraft, avionics system, or maintenance application.

Future Support

For older test equipment, consider future repair capability, calibration support, replacement parts, and possible upgrade options.

These elements can be differentiated on AvionTEq prior to the purchase by the customer.

More Flexibility Than a Traditional Equipment Purchase

Every maintenance requirement is different.

Sometimes buying is the best solution. Renting, trading in a current piece of equipment, repairing your existing unit or choosing a different model may be more appropriate options in other cases.

AvionTEq has opened new opportunities for customers with equipment sales, rentals, trade-ins, repair and calibration, and technical assistance; allowing organizations more options in deciding how best to meet their test equipment requirements.

When budget, availability or turnaround time is the key consideration then this can be particularly beneficial.

Don't Wait Until the Equipment You Need Is Gone

Inventory-sale equipment is often limited in supply and sells fast.

If you already have a needs—or anticipate replacing or supplementing avionics test hardware soon—it is prudent to do an inventory assessment prior to making a fresh-equipment acquisition.
