Safe Air Engineering Design spreads its wings

Safe Air’s design organisation has been awarded RNZAF Delegation of Engineering Authority (DEA) for avionics, further highlighting the engineering design team’s strength and its marketability as a key growth area for the business.

It has also renewed its Royal New Zealand Air Force DEA for airframes, mechanical systems, components and equipment including propeller systems for UH1H Iroquois, SH2G Sea Sprite, C130 Hercules and P3K Orion aircraft.

Engineering Design’s capability portfolio now includes
• Avionics systems, components and equipment, publication amendments
• Authorisation of new Drawings and drawing amendments
• RNZAF concessions, repair schemes, local manufacture and deviations including process deviations
• Engineering Design is also authorised to carry out the production of modification data and associated technical analysis and certification justification for the aircraft listed under the DEA provided that the package is submitted to the aircraft sponsor for final approval.

Safe Air holds EASA, FAA, NZCAA approvals and is certified ISO9001 and AS9100 compliant.

Safe Air also holds approved maintenance organisation status with the Royal New Zealand Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force and is the primary heavy maintenance provider to the RNZAF.

The scope of its operations includes airframe, propeller, engine and component maintenance, repair and overhaul. Safe Air operates the aircraft maintenance facilities at Blenheim Airport, formerly the Royal New Zealand Air Force main aircraft repair depot.
