Plenty of well known companies are involved with modern aviation. Some are instantly linked with such things as aero-engines, whereas others prefer not to limit themselves. Some of these companies have developed systems which have since been integrated into several of the more familiar civilian aircraft. One such company and product is Honeywell avionics.

As is often the case when something goes slightly wrong the best people to sort it out are those who either designed or developed the system. It just so happens that this company operates various centers of excellence around the world. Which means that for anyone experiencing a problem, help is not too far away.

The licensed company maintenance facilities are all operated within guidelines issued by the various aviation authorities. The company's workforce take pride in their work and are all highly skilled. Often, without being asked, they make that extra little bit of effort to ensure that their customer's are all 100% satisfied.

As much of this equipment is based on electronics the test facilities have to meet strict company guidelines. Any such test area can only be accessed by those deemed essential or those who have authorized access. This means that environmental disturbances are kept to the absolute minimum.

Both the temperature and humidity levels are monitored closely. The aim being that the testing is all done within the same environmental conditions whatever the external conditions might be. Access is limited to the test areas, which ensures any peaks or dips in temperature are avoided, especially during the calibration stages.

The technicians within these test cells are all highly trained, and they take their jobs very seriously. They each have to undergo various performance checks annually, as well as keeping abreast of any modifications which need to be implemented. The environments are dust free, and any possible contaminants are strictly controlled.

The main problem electronic units face is static discharge. The technicians will utilize various means to eliminate any possibility of it happening. While at their work stations they will wear wrist straps, some will also wear something called a heel grounder. These are designed to ensure that the equipment and the technician are both at the same earth reading.

Testing is conducted in accordance with laid down procedures. As the company designed this equipment they are fully aware of how it should perform at any given time throughout the test. They have very tight tolerance levels, the good news is that this often means that an item of equipment will remain serviceable for longer.

The company will always endeavor to have the item of equipment back with the customer as soon as possible. Maybe this is the reason why many international airlines renew their servicing contracts annually. This is a company which does listen to what the customers are saying. So no matter where the fault has occurred on your Honeywell avionics equipment you will never be that far away from a company servicing facility. It seems illogical to let a different company try to first understand the system and then try to repair it, when the experts are so close by.
