Beechcraft Maintenance Evaluation - KEVB
The ABS Air Safety Foundation Beechcraft® Maintenance Evaluation - BME (formerly known as "Service Clinic") is a comprehensive, highly structured visual evaluation of the airplane. The BME is, in effect, a "second opinion" conducted by recognized Beechcraft® experts.
Additionally, when available, an engine inspector will perform borescope, compression checks, and a visual check of engine compartment(s). This is complementary and done at no additional cost to the ABS Member.
Beechcraft® Maintenance Evaluations are available Thursday through Sunday, scheduled in 1-hour and 30-minute increments.
Price is $595 regardless of model.
The Beechcraft® Maintenance Evaluator will review unmodified parts of the airframe. The engine compartment(s) of turbine-modified airplanes will not be evaluated. Owners should note that the modification and additional power of turbine conversions may create stresses and potential issues for those airframes that our evaluators are not aware of and may not detect. The ABS evaluator has the final say on whether a specific turbine-conversion airplane will be accepted for evaluation.
After your appointment, you’ll receive a detailed digital report of your aircraft, including images captured by the Evaluator to help you and your mechanic better identify and understand any potential squawks. Beechcraft® Maintenance Evaluations are just one of the many Member Benefits provided by ABS. You must be a current member of ABS to register and attend.
The BME Evaluator for this clinic is: Bob Ripley
Location: Baker Aviation, New Smyrna Beach, FL (KEVB)
