Broken Part Removal

At Aeronergic OÜ, we specialize in advanced engine borescope inspections and precision recovery operations. Building on our extensive experience as an EASA Part-145 approved maintenance organization, we now offer a specialized service for the removal of broken or foreign parts from aircraft engines using advanced borescope techniques.

Our certified borescope engineers utilize state-of-the-art inspection and retrieval tools to safely remove broken components, FOD, and debris from within the engine core and fan section — without the need for costly engine removal or disassembly. This capability allows airlines, lessors, and maintenance providers to minimize aircraft downtime, avoid unnecessary engine removal or teardown, reduce maintenance costs and operational disruption, while maintaining full EASA Part-145 traceability and documentation standards.

Typical Applications

Borescope Tool & Fragment Recovery

Recovery of broken borescope tips, screws, washers, or metallic fragments that have become lodged within engine sections. Our precision retrieval tools can access tight spaces and safely extract small components without damaging surrounding hardware.

Loose or Damaged Part Removal

Removal of loose or damaged parts in the combustion or turbine section that could cause further damage if left in place. Our certified engineers follow strict procedures to ensure safe extraction and prevent secondary damage during retrieval operations.

Foreign Object Retrieval

Retrieval of borescope tools or foreign objects left after maintenance activities. Quick response to FOD events helps minimize potential engine damage and prevents costly unscheduled maintenance or in-flight issues.

Fractured Blade & FOD Extraction

Extraction of fractured blade pieces or internal debris following FOD events. Our advanced retrieval techniques and specialized tools enable recovery from difficult-to-access areas within the engine flowpath and static structures.

Our Process & Documentation

Certified Borescope Engineers

All operations are performed by certified borescope engineers under EASA Part-145 procedures, ensuring the highest standards of safety, quality, and regulatory compliance throughout the recovery process.

Detailed Post-Operation Reporting

Each recovery operation includes a comprehensive borescope report with photo and video evidence documenting the retrieval process, extracted components, and post-recovery engine condition verification.

Full EASA Part-145 Traceability

We maintain complete documentation and traceability standards in accordance with EASA Part-145 requirements, providing official records for your maintenance documentation and regulatory compliance needs.

On-Wing Recovery Capability

Most retrieval operations can be performed with the engine still installed on the aircraft, eliminating the significant costs and time associated with engine removal, transportation, and reinstallation.

Key Business Benefits

Minimize Aircraft Downtime

On-wing recovery operations dramatically reduce aircraft ground time compared to traditional engine removal. This rapid response capability helps protect your revenue-generating operations and maintain schedule reliability.

Avoid Costly Engine Removal

By eliminating the need for engine removal and teardown in most cases, our specialized service saves significant maintenance costs including labor, tooling, stands, transportation, and reinstallation expenses.

Reduce Operational Disruption

Quick mobilization and efficient retrieval processes minimize the impact on your maintenance schedule and fleet availability. Our 24/7 AOG support ensures rapid response when time is critical.

Prevent Secondary Damage

Prompt removal of broken parts and FOD prevents potential secondary damage to engine components, avoiding more extensive and costly repairs that could result from continued operation or delayed removal.

EASA Part 145 Approved

Our advanced borescope recovery service combines technical expertise, precision, and regulatory compliance — providing an efficient, safe, and cost-effective solution for engine damage mitigation. All services are conducted under EASA PART 145 Approval number EE.145.0124.

Our certified borescope engineers are strategically located worldwide to provide rapid response to AOG situations and scheduled maintenance requirements, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations.
