Exchange policy
Ex-Change Parts offer exchange units under either or both of two conditions:
Standard exchange: We quote a basic exchange price which includes normal overhaul parts and labour. Additional parts, reworks and labour required beyond normal overhaul are invoiced additionally. When applicable, we follow Airbus Helicopter standard exclusion conditions.
Fixed-price exchange: You have no further liability, except if you fail to return a core unit, or if core unit does not meet the conditions detailed below.
All exchange prices are quoted based on receipt of an acceptable core within 30 calendar days from invoice date. Acceptable cores are defined as units that are identically configured and equivalent in modification status to those provided on exchange.
Core units are to be normal run outs and not subjects of severe stress or heat as in major engine failure, fire, crash, water submersion, cannibalization, incorrect repair, abnormal wear and fully complete and assembled. Core units must be accompanied by a removal tag displaying component details, life status and nature of defect or reason for removal. Where relevant, historical service records or log cards showing adequate history must be furnished.
If core units are found beyond economical repair, and customer cannot supply an acceptable core in a timely manner, the outright sale price will apply. Outright sale being the sum of the exchange price and a core charge. In some cases, an up-front core deposit may be required.
