 Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul

Taking the time to get to know our customers, their operation, and the
environment in which they run their aircraft are the keys to providing repair,
overhaul, and modification services designed to keep operating costs down and
5
planes safely in the air.

Our existing customers know our level of dedication, which is why we have one of
the highest repeat business ratios in the industry.

ATS maintains a private unlit 2700' x 33' concrete reinforced runway with 1500'
grass over-run onsite. GPS coordinates are as follows: 28°09 ' 00 " N 97'47'30 " W

We have 35,000+ SF of hangar space for customers who choose to fly their
aircraft to ATS for inspection or maintenance.
 Engine Sales & Leasing

ATS is an active leader in the purchase, sale, and exchange of PT6A

engines worldwide. We maintain one of the largest replacement engine
inventories in the industry and have the capability to quickly and fairly
6 evaluate your core or mid-time PT6 engine for exchange credit or
outright purchase .
 Parts
ATS maintains an extensive inventory of PT6A engine parts and
accessories.

Our PT6 parts inventory consists of OEM new, overhauled, serviceable 7

and PMA alternatives. Additionally, we have established relationships
with wholesale suppliers that allow us to competitively quote your
procurement needs. Our shipping contracts allow for all types of
domestic and international delivery including next day service.

ATS OVH Tags Are 100% Guaranteed

If you purchase an overhauled part from us and it fails a qualified
secondary inspection, we will refund the purchase price, including your
cost for third party inspection .
 Engine Loans
We maintain a large inventory of Serviceable Rental Engines for use by
our customers and our customers only. Downtime for overhauls and
major repairs shouldn't also cost you revenue .
8
Shorter Turn Times
To obtain optimal turn times we communicate with our customers to
ensure we have everything on hand that could be needed for their
specific repair/overhaul before it comes to our facility. We keep a stock
of exchange parts that normally need repair and we have the personnel
to get your engine through the process as efficiently as possible .

Standby Parts and Engines

Fleet Operators need to stay in the air. We can analyze your
requirements and utilize our extensive inventory to assure the right
parts and spares are available to minimize your downtime.

Engine Leasing
Flat-line your operating expense so you can allocate capital to other
projects. Whether it's a lease that includes scheduled maintenance cost
{HSI+ OVH), or a simple operational lease, we can tailor a leasing
solution for your operation.
Design Build
Tired of paying for more engine than you'll ever use or need? Control
your acquisition cost by customizing your engine build to meet your
mission requirements. We'll design build you an engine that balances
your operational needs with your budget. 9

Fleet Customer Training

We offer training in English and fluent Spanish . Unlike our competitors,
we never charge our fleet customers for training - whether it's delivered
at their base of operations or our faci lity.

Troubleshooting
