Under the agreement, Muirhead Avionics is authorised to provide approved repair and overhaul services for selected Inertial Reference Units (IRUs), radio equipment, and associated avionics systems. The appointment supports continued product availability and regulatory compliance for operators of these legacy systems.

“As an authorised repair centre, Muirhead Avionics will operate in accordance with OEM approved repair processes, supported by access to authorised technical data, approved test equipment, and parts,” said David Bentley, Divisional Vice President and Business Manager, Muirhead Avionics / AMETEK MRO. “This authorisation enables Muirhead Avionics to support operators across Europe, Africa, and Asia with approved repair capability for selected legacy avionics platforms.”

Bentley noted that avionics OEMs are increasingly collaborating with specialised MRO providers to support long serving equipment in the field. “OEMs are focusing internal resources on new product development while ensuring continued support for legacy fleets,” he said. “Authorised ARC relationships support this approach by enabling approved repair capability for products where long term operational support remains critical.”

Bentley added, “ARC agreements represent an established relationship between the component OEM and the authorised MRO. Muirhead Avionics has supported legacy Honeywell designed avionics for decades, providing approved repair capability and long term product support for operators.”
